Halfords’ view: Introduce government support for second-hand EV purchases to close the “green gap”
Leading motoring products and services provider Halfords is calling on government to support those looking to buy a used electric vehicle (EV), through interest free loans or grants.
There is currently financial support for those looking to purchase brand new EVs, through the Plug-In Grant, but this is capped at just £3,000.
