The attached table shows where new plug-in grant eligible vehicles were registered by region of the UK from 2011 to 2018. In October 2018 plug-in hybrids became ineligible for the plug-in car grant. Those registered after this date are not accounted for in the table.<\/p>

The attached tables show the top six most popular ultra low emission vehicle models with consumers by region between April 2018 and March 2019. Those vehicles eligible for plug-in grants are marked with a star. A number of different models are popular with consumers across the country. The number of models of ultra low emission vehicles available in the UK continues to increase. Nearly all major automakers have made significant commitments to start selling ULEVs.<\/p>

We are investing nearly £1.5bn\u200e between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and motorcycles, and schemes to support chargepoint infrastructure at homes, workplaces and on residential streets. These subsidies are designed to support the early market and achieve a competitive, self-sustaining market.<\/p>
<\/p>
The £400m public-private Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund will add thousands more public chargepoints. The Automated and Electric Vehicles Act gives Government new powers to regulate the chargepoint market and improve the experience for consumers. We have supported the installation of more than 20,000 public chargepoints, including over 2,000 rapid chargepoints. The UK\u2019s network is already one of the largest networks in Europe and the Road to Zero strategy includes new commitments to massively expand electric and low emission vehicle infrastructure across the country. The Government has also put in place a favourable tax regime that rewards the cleanest, zero emission vehicles.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has awarded over £300m in grants via Innovate UK into ultra low emission technologies. Part of this is the Faraday battery challenge, designed to ensure research and innovation takes centre stage in the Industrial Strategy and to reduce the cost of new technologies.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also put in place a favourable tax regime that rewards the cleanest, zero emission vehicles. Go Ultra Low is a joint Government-Industry funded campaign which aims to inform vehicle purchasers about the operational savings from driving electric vehicles and to dispel widespread myths.<\/p>
<\/p>
We anticipate that electric vehicles will achieve price parity with their petrol and diesel counterparts in the mid-2020s. We will review progress by 2025. Against a rapidly evolving international context, we will seek to maintain the UK\u2019s leadership position and meet our ambitions, and will consider what interventions are required if not enough progress is being made.<\/p>

The UK Government takes its air quality obligations extremely seriously and is firmly committed to improving the UK\u2019s air quality and cutting harmful emissions. In July 2017, we published the UK Plan for Tackling Roadside Nitrogen Dioxide Concentrations, setting out how we will achieve compliance in the shortest possible time. As a result of this, we are now working closely with 61 English local authorities, and have placed legal duties on them to tackle their nitrogen dioxide exceedances. This is underpinned by £495m in funding, including £220m Clean Air Fund to mitigate the impact of the plans on individuals and businesses. This funding can include, where appropriate, funding towards incentivising take up of electric vehicles.<\/p>
<\/p>
To support the transition to zero emission vehicles, we are investing nearly £1.5bn\u200e between April 2015 and March 2021, with grants available for plug in vehicles, and schemes to support charge point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on residential streets. We have made real progress to date. 200,000 ultra-low emission vehicles are now registered in the UK, and we now have over 20,000 publicly accessible chargepoints. More than 2,000 are rapid devices \u2013 one of the largest networks in Europe.<\/p>
