	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2022 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Government’s approach to supporting the uptake of electric cars is clearly working – while the Government slowly reduced the grant over time, the sale of electric vehicles soared. The Plug-in Car Grant has had significant impacts on building the early electric car market, which is now maturing. The sales of fully electric cars grew from less than 1,000 in 2011 to almost 100,000 in the first 5 months of 2022 alone. Although still important, price is no longer the paramount barrier to adoption of electric cars.</p><p> </p><p>An independent report commissioned by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles to assess the impact of the grant scheme, found that the grant has had a material impact on demand for new electric cars, but also that the importance of it has reduced as the market has matured and price has become less of a barrier to vehicle uptake.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 21/07/2022 09:52:35 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
