The extra funding will bring the total available to 2 billion GBP, with the Chancellor also committing to the extension of the grant itself to run until 2030.

The Chancellor has also announced the dedication of 200 million GBP in additional funding to the rollout of EV chargers across the country, as well as a 100% business relief rate for businesses with EV charging points.
Meanwhile; electric vehicle (EV) owners in England will soon be subject to a new mile-based tax, also announced during the Autumn Budget.
