The government has closed the plug-in car grant scheme, an initiative that provided over ￡1.4bn to support the purchase of nearly half a million vehicles. More affordable EVs and lower operating costs for owners have prompted the government to refocus its low-carbon transport priorities.

Funding will also target an expansion of the public charging network.
