<p>The government allocated more than £600 million to support the uptake and manufacture
of ultra low emission vehicles in the 2015 Spending Review. This represents an increase
of over £100 million on the Government’s previous commitment and means the Office
for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) will continue to provide one of the most comprehensive
packages of support for ultra low emission vehicles in the world.</p><br /><p>On 17
December the Government announced it has allocated £400 million so that the Plug-in
Car Grant will continue to at least 2018, well beyond the previous guarantee of February
2016, and which will mean more than 100,000 people will benefit over the coming years
– double the number who have already claimed the grant since 2011. The Government
also announced the continuation of the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, which will
provide £500 towards the cost of installing a domestic chargepoint.</p><br /><p>We
will provide further details about the wider OLEV programme during the first part
of 2016.</p><br />
