New EV Subsidy Grants Explained! £1,500–£3,750 Off – But Don’t Get Caught Out!

Thinking of buying an electric car? The government’s back with fresh EV grants – but there’s a catch, and it could cost you more than you think.

Well, it’s finally here – the much anticipated return of EV subsidies in the UK. The government has announced a massive £700 million pot to encourage more people to go electric, offering grants of up to £3,750 off the purchase of a new battery electric vehicle (BEV). Sounds fantastic, right? But wait – before you dash off to your nearest dealership, there are a few important details you really need to understand. Because this time, things are a little different. And if you’re not careful, you might end up worse off!

UK Gov to Hand Out £700 Million for EVs – But Only If You Buy This Car?

The government’s bringing back EV grants – but this time, it’s less about going green and more about going Made in Britain

Could the Nissan Leaf be the next national car? Sounds wild, but with the UK Government planning to throw £700 million at boosting electric vehicle sales – and reports suggesting only UK-built EVs may qualify for the cash – it might just happen. This isn’t just about climate targets anymore. It’s about protecting British manufacturing, curbing cheap imports, and getting private buyers back in the game. I break it all down in the video below.

UK Car Industry in Crisis!

“Existential Threat” – SMMT Boss Mike Hawes Doesn’t Hold Back on UK Auto Industry Crisis

Some speeches are polite, PR-friendly affairs filled with vague optimism and corporate buzzwords. Not this one. Mike Hawes, Chief Executive of the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), came out swinging at SMMT Test Day 2025 with what felt more like a rallying cry for survival than a standard industry update. “The industry faces an existential threat,” Hawes warned. And if that sounds dramatic — well, good. It should. Because the message he delivered was clear: the UK automotive sector is on a cliff edge, and we’re running out of road fast.

Yes, you heard that right! In a surprising and very welcome turn of events, the UK government has secured not one, but two major trade deals this week: one with India and one with the United States. And for the UK automotive sector, these could be game-changing. Let’s break it down.

Chinese EVs Are Spying on Us!? UK Defence Sounds the Alarm!

Should you be worried… or is this just Cold War paranoia on four wheels?

Plug in your phone and they’ll know everything about you! Apparently it’s that simple. According to a growing chorus of British defence insiders, Chinese-built electric vehicles could be rolling surveillance machines, gathering personal data the moment you plug your phone into the USB port.

UK Car Industry F#@KED!

Why Trump’s Tariffs Could Be the Final Blow

It’s official: the British car industry – what’s left of it – is on its knees. And now, thanks to Trump’s fresh round of protectionist punishment, it might finally be flatlined. According to a blistering Financial Times report, UK luxury carmakers – including Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar Land Rover, and McLaren – are staring down the barrel of a 25% US import tariff. The fallout? A potential 25,000 job losses right here in Blighty.

HEMI V8 is BACK?!

Have Dodge & RAM Just Done the UNTHINKABLE?!

Somebody pinch me – or just whack me with a wrench – am I imagining this? Or is it just wishful thinking? Could the HEMI V8, yes, that glorious, thunderous, petrol-drinking, tyre-shredding beast of an engine, which only last year was laid to rest with full honours and a 21-gun salute… could it actually be coming back to life? And I don’t just mean in slammed into a Restomod in a dodgy backstreet garage, but reportedly, potentially (and quite likely) from Stellantis themselves?!

I’ve got all the rates for cars, EVs, vans and bikes

The cost of motoring in Britain just took a major hit. From the beginning of this month, 1st April 2025, road tax – or Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) to use the proper term – has undergone a serious shake-up, and it’s affecting everyone: petrol and diesel drivers, EV owners, motorcyclists, and van users alike. Basically you will ALL PAY MORE! But how much more?

Top 10 Most Popular Cars, Colours, and Fuels in the UK

The latest SMMT Motorparc data has just landed – and it paints a fascinating picture of what’s going on out on the roads of Blighty. Spoiler alert: we’re not all silently gliding around in futuristic electric cars just yet. In fact, Britain remains firmly attached to its old bangers, diesel vans, and distinctly dreary colour palette. So let’s pop the bonnet on the real state of UK motoring in 2024 and see what the numbers tell us…
