Vauxhall Introduces £1,500 Discount on Electric Cars Ahead of Grant Eligibility

Vauxhall announces a £1,500 discount on its entire electric vehicle lineup as it anticipates qualifying for upcoming government grants, making its electric offerings more accessible to consumers.

Vauxhall Introduces £1,500 Discount on Electric Cars Ahead of Grant Eligibility

Vauxhall is making waves in the electric vehicle market by offering a £1,500 discount on its entire range of electric cars. This initiative comes in response to the recent announcement of the Government’s Electric Car Grant, allowing consumers to save on their next eco-friendly vehicle.

Discount Overview

This generous discount applies to the following electric models:

  • Vauxhall Corsa Electric
  • Vauxhall Mokka Electric
  • Vauxhall Astra Electric
  • Vauxhall Frontera Electric
  • Vauxhall Grandland Electric

Vauxhall’s move to introduce this discount just days after Citroen became the first manufacturer to secure eligibility for the government grant highlights the brand's proactive approach. The company is confident that it will soon meet the criteria for the government’s grant, positioning this discount as an opportunity for buyers ahead of formal approval from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Pricing After Discount

With the new £1,500 discount, the entry prices for Vauxhall’s electric range are as follows:

  • Corsa Electric: £26,505
  • Frontera Electric: £22,495
  • Mokka Electric: £31,005
  • Astra Electric: £33,505
  • Grandland Electric: £35,455

This discount effectively mirrors the government’s Electric Car Grant, which has no current offerings for the more robust ‘Band 1’ grant of £3,750. By implementing this proactive discount, Vauxhall ensures that consumers are not missing out on savings.

Future Grant Eligibility

Vauxhall and Citroen are both part of the Stellantis group, with many shared technologies between their electric models. This shared platform could pave the way for Vauxhall’s vehicles to rapidly gain eligibility for the official grant soon, as the government operates on a ‘first come, first served’ basis.

Additional Offers

In addition to the £1,500 discount, Vauxhall continues to offer its ‘Electric All In’ package, which includes:

  • Eight years of roadside assistance (including charging support)
  • £500 towards an Ohme home wallbox
  • Credit for Tesco or Octopus charging
  • 10,000 miles of free home charging when switching to an Octopus tariff

With this comprehensive package, Vauxhall aims to enhance the ownership experience of their electric cars, making the transition to electric more appealing.

If you find the new electric models still a bit too pricey, consider checking out the marketplace for used Vauxhall electric vehicles, available for under £9,000.

As Vauxhall prepares for the forthcoming announcements regarding grant eligibility, it positions itself as a significant player in the electric vehicle landscape, balancing affordability with eco-friendly technology.
