| 摘要： | We know that electric trucks can improve the air quality of our cities, so what is the Government doing to make these a more common sight on our urban streets? The 'Plug in Vehicle Grant' (PiVG) for large vans and trucks has just been revised to offer a maximum of £25,000 for up to 100 qualifying vehicles per annum, and a maximum of 5 trucks per customer. After the 100 grant limit is reached, the grant available reverts to the van maximum of £6,000, meaning there's only around £4m available exclusively for heavy trucks. Compare this to our European neighbours. France awards €50k for any electric or hydrogen commercial vehicle and up to €50k to write the value of an EV down. The Dutch allow up to 40% of the incremental cost for EV versus diesel to be claimed back under a €114m fund. (The Irish have just announced a similar scheme). But perhaps the simplest solution is found in Switzerland, which exempts EVs from road tax, equating to a £90k saving over seven years for a Euro Ⅵ 26 tonner. |
