<p>The Government is investing nearly £1.5bn between April 2015 and March 2021 in
one of the most comprehensive global programmes of support for electric vehicles,
with grants available for new plug in cars, vans, lorries, buses, taxis and motorcycles,
and schemes to support charging point infrastructure at homes and workplaces and on
residential streets. The Government’s forthcoming zero emission road transport strategy,
which will be published after the local elections, will set out its plans to support
the UK transition to zero emission vehicles. There is a developing market for second
hand electric vehicles. Used electric vehicle motorists are able to take advantage
of the favourable tax regime the Government has put in place and local initiatives
such as free parking, as well as the Government’s grant schemes to assist with the
cost of installing chargepoints.</p>
