As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, more drivers are asking the same question: what electric car grant offers are available in 2026? If you’re considering an electric vehicle from Volkswagen, Škoda, SEAT or CUPRA, understanding the current incentives could help reduce the cost of making the switch.
At Pulman Group, we help customers navigate electric vehicle offers, eligibility criteria, and available grants, so you can choose the right EV with confidence.
The UK Electric Car Grant (ECG) is a government-backed incentive designed to make selected new electric cars more affordable. In 2026, the grant continues to apply to eligible new electric vehicles, provided they meet specific criteria set by the government.
Where applicable, the grant is applied at the point of purchase, reducing the on-the-road price you pay.
For eligible vehicles in 2026:
• The Electric Car Grant provides a £1,500 discount
• The discount is applied directly to the vehicle invoice
• Eligibility is based on the final on-the-road price, including options
To qualify, the vehicle’s on-the-road price must be under £42,000.
Eligibility depends on model, trim level, battery size and final price, so not every electric car qualifies. However, selected models from Volkswagen, Škoda, and CUPRA may fall within the criteria.
Volkswagen offers a growing range of electric vehicles, and selected ID models may be eligible depending on specification and pricing.
Potentially eligible vehicles include:
• Volkswagen ID.3, selected trims
• Volkswagen ID.4, entry and mid-level specifications
Higher-performance or extended-range variants may exceed the grant price cap.
Some Škoda electric models may qualify, including:
• Škoda Elroq, most derivatives excluding vRS versions
• Selected Škoda Enyaq models, such as SE L 60, SE L 85 and Edition 60
Higher-spec variants like Enyaq vRS, Enyaq Coupé, and larger battery configurations may not qualify due to price thresholds.
CUPRA’s electric range blends performance with electric efficiency. While higher-performance models often exceed the price cap, selected CUPRA electric vehicles may still qualify.
Potentially eligible models include:
• CUPRA Born, selected battery and trim combinations
Higher-output and premium specifications may fall outside grant eligibility.
Before ordering an electric vehicle, it’s important to understand:
• The grant only applies to new electric vehicles
• Eligibility is not guaranteed and depends on final pricing and specification
• Grant criteria can change, be withdrawn, or replaced by new schemes
• The grant does not apply to used electric cars
Because of this, it’s always best to check eligibility at the point of order.
