PEUGEOT & DS COVER THE CHARGE-DIFFERENCE TO MAINTAIN £3,500 ELECTRIC VEHICLE FUNDING

PEUGEOT & DS will offer an extra £500 towards all new fully electric model purchases, after the Government announced it would reduce the current Plug-in Car Grant (PICG) from £3,500 to £3,000 from 12 March onwards.

All new full electric vehicle buyers are now eligible for up to £3,000 in Government funding towards their purchase, after the Treasury announced it would continue to offer the Plug-in Car Grant until 2022-2023*. Originally planned to end by the beginning of April 2020, HM Treasury announced it would add a further £403 million for the scheme, but it also announced it would reduce the maximum funding from £3,500 to £3,000 for new car buyers*.

To ensure buyers aren’t missing out, PEUGEOT & DS has pledged to make up the shortfall in funding, by offering its new full electric range with an extra £500 support, on all orders and registrations before the 31^st March. The offer is available on the latest range of full electric models from PEUGEOT and DS including, the all-new e-208, which was named European Car of the Year in March, all-new e-2008 SUV and DS 3 CROSSBACK E-TENSE the Premium Compact SUV

PEUGEOT and DS is also offering all of its electric buyers a free POD Point Home Charging Unit along with a six-month subscription to Polar Plus – the UK’s largest public charging network.  Around 65% of Polar Plus’ charging stations are free to use for subscribers, meaning PEUGEOT & DS drivers will have access to free electricity from more than 4,500 charging stations around the country.

The Plug-in Car Grant has been in place since 2011 to support the uptake of ultra-low emissions vehicles (ULEVs), and has supported more than 200,000 purchases in the UK, of which 100,000 are zero-emissions vehicles.
