4. KEY DATA POINTS
Key Data Points:
• £3,750 maximum government EV discount (Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, Gov.UK 2025)
• £6,400 saving: ë-C3 vs MG4 (official pricing verification)
• 199-422 mile range across Citroën models (WLTP data 2025)
• £650 million total fund allocation (Department for Transport)
• 5 approved Citroën models only (OZEV official list, verified January 2025)
This investigation reveals the shocking reality behind the UK’s £650 million Electric Car Grant scheme. While headlines promised universal EV discounts, only Citroën has secured approval from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), leaving buyers of Tesla, MG, and BYD paying thousands more for equivalent vehicles.
Our analysis of Department for Transport documents shows the environmental scoring system favors European assembly over Chinese production, explaining Citroën’s exclusive access. However, this creates massive price disparities – the ë-C3 at £20,595 (with grant) undercuts the MG4 by £6,400, while family buyers save over £13,000 choosing the ë-C4 over Tesla’s Model 3.
Consumer Protection Alert: We’ve identified dealers falsely claiming grants on non-approved brands. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, such promises entitle you to reject the purchase. Always verify eligibility at gov.uk before signing.
