Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many plug-in car grants were given in (a) 2019, (b) 2020 and (c) 2021 to date.
There were 39287 approved orders for the Plug-in Car Grant (PiCG) in 2019 and 92879 approved orders for the PiCG in 2020. We are unable to provide detailed information for 2021 to date because orders for the PiCG are allowed 9 or 12 months to complete and are not counted as approved until the car is registered, delivered to the customer and the grant subsequently paid.
