Will I still get the £2,500 plug-in car grant?

I signed the order and a £500 deposit for the new MG ZS long range in December, am I still OK for the £2,500 plug-in car grant?

It depends what date in December you placed the order. If it was seven days prior to the announcement (on 15 December) then yes the dealer can claim the £2,500 plug-in car grant. However, they need to have submitted the request on the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) portal before 15 December. If they didn't, they will need to speak to OZEV.

I was expecting to see a £2,500 reduction on our invoice for the price of the car. Instead, I see £2083.33 to which they add VAT, to make £2,500. Shouldn't I expect the whole £2,500 off the price?
