Plug-in van grant

The government has recently announced a grant for electric vans. Purchasers will be able to receive 20 per cent - up to £8,000 - off the cost of a plug-in van which meets the government’s criteria.

This will be of great interest to businesses, who can now save on the up-front purchase price of vans as well as on running costs.
