  Plug-in hybrid car grant axed with immediate effect 22 Oct 2018 (News)
  New car buyers hoping to get a cut-price plug-in hybrid are facing disappointment, after the Department for Transport (DfT) brought forward its end date for the Government grant of up to £2500.   The Government had initially said it would launch the qualifying criteria for electric car grants on 9 November; however, a spokesperson for the (DfT) told HonestJohn.co.uk that “following exceptional demand" for new vehicles the rules had been updated with "immediate effect".  That means - from 22 October 2018 - only plug-in cars that can cover 70 miles on electricity and emit less than 50g/km of CO2 will qualify for the Government-funded grant. Pure electric cars also get less public money, with the grant being cut from £4500 to £3500.
