The recent UK budget was both good news and bad news for anyone considering buying an electric car.
The good news was that the plug-in car grant that knocks thousands off the price of a new electric car will be kept in place, in some form, until 2023. The bad news was that it was cut, immediately, from £3500 to £3000.

In response, a number of car brands have announced that they will reduce the price of their electric cars by £500 so that buyers, in effect, continue to benefit from the ‘full’ £3500 discount.
More good news, then. And a bit more bad news, because these deals are currently scheduled to run until the end of March 2020 only.
