Abarth 500e joins 15 models eligible for full £3,750 UK electric car grant
By Eve
The Abarth 500e now qualifies for the maximum £3,750 discount under the UK government's £1.3bn electric car grant scheme, bringing the total number of models eligible for the full amount to 15. Other qualifying vehicles include the Alpine A290, Ford Puma Gen-E, Nissan Leaf, and Renault 5 (52kWh), while remaining models receive £1,500 off. More than 100,000 drivers have used the scheme since its launch in July 2025.
Why it matters: The expanding list of grant eligible models, particularly affordable urban EVs like the Abarth 500e with 164 mile range, signals growing consumer incentives that may accelerate fleet electrification and workplace charging demand. CPOs serving retail and commercial sites should monitor uptake patterns as the scheme's £1.3bn budget drives new EV adoption across price segments.
