But in reality, it\u2019s that the government no longer wants to, or can afford to, support the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all sad, though, because let\u2019s be honest, cutting the cap from \u00a350,000 to \u00a335,000 is only going to affect people who already have quite a bit of money to spend on a car. The subsidy is still available for more affordable EVs, like Peugeot 208-e and the Renault Zoe.<\/p>\n<p>We shouldn\u2019t be too surprised that the UK government has taken this action.<\/p>\n<p>This is the fourth time the UK government has pruned the subsidy. In fact, this time last year, the nation\u2019s government did exactly the same thing and cut the grant by \u00a3500.<\/p>\n<p><span>As EVs proliferate and become the norm, the subsidy will be removed. After all,<\/span> it\u2019s an incentive designed to encourage people to make the switch from combustion to electricity by addressing the price disparity between the two types of vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, we can probably expect governments around the world to start imposing new taxes and charges on vehicles (including EVs) to make up for the financial shortfall because no one is paying fuel duty anymore.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><i><span>Do EVs excite your electrons?
