Motoring industry hits out at Government decision to remove PHEV grant

In 2021 so far, more than 7,500 PHEV cars were sold in Ireland

The Irish motoring industry has hit out at the removal of the €2,500 Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) grant, saying the timing is "deplorable".

It follows the announcement made on Monday by the Department of Transport that the grant will expire from January 1, as part of changes being made to state supports for the electric vehicle sector.
