Ford has taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of the All-New, All-Electric Ford E-Transit Custom. This vehicle has recently received approval for the Plug-in Van Grant (PiVG), opening doors to exciting possibilities for businesses and individuals alike.
The Plug-in Van Grant gives customers a chance to enjoy a 35% grant upon registration, with a maximum benefit of £5,000. This grant is a testament to the commitment towards promoting sustainable transportation solutions and reducing carbon emissions.
One of the most appealing aspects of the Plug-in Van Grant is its inclusivity across specific body styles:
– Panel Van
– Double Cab in Van (DCiV)
– Multicab
However, it’s essential to note that Tourneo and Kombi M1 body styles do not qualify for the Plug-in Van Grant. Be aware that the Transit Custom Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) does not meet the criteria for the grant.
A crucial point to consider is that the Plug-in Van Grant will be deducted from the purchase price of the vehicle, inclusive of any discounts, rather than the Recommended Retail Price (RRP). This approach ensures that customers can maximize the benefits of the grant when investing in the new Ford E-Transit Custom.
The approval of the Plug-in Van Grant for the Ford E-Transit Custom marks a significant milestone for the EV industry and encourages an opportunity for expansion into EV for the commercial sector.
Whilst the E-Transit is the most recent electric van to be eligible for the grant, there are offerings from other competitors which come under the Plug-in Van Grant.
