Government lengthens Plug-in Vehicle Grant orders by three months
08 August 2021
The Government has granted a temporary extension for the completion of Plug-in Vehicle Grant orders to account for current production shortages, according to the NFDA.
The organisation received word from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) that it would add an additional three months’ grace for orders made via the Plug-in Grant Portal between 5 November 2020 and 5 August 2021 to reach ‘awaiting payment’, ‘awaiting audit’ or ‘completed’ status.
Retailers usually have nine months to complete such orders, but the OZEV said it would “continue to allow 12 months for new orders placed on the portal for a six-month period. This period will end at 23:59pm on 4 February 2022”.
It added that it “may consider further extensions to the 12-month period depending on the state of the market at this point”.
