Mr. Declan Meally:

In all fairness, because the prices of cars vary, this is like asking how long a piece of string is. The Renault Zoe, for example, is a small car and it costs €20,000. There is no direct equivalent, but, in the context of the €5,000 grant, a Ford Focus, for example, and similar models, might be the same type of car. There would still be a parity difference of about €3,000 or €4,000.

It may change as we go along. The point that we make is about the running costs of those cars. We have a comparison tool and a calculator on our website where people can input what their existing car is----
