It is any vehicle with an electric small public service vehicle grant. The €60,000 limit relates to a cap we put in place earlier this year on purchase grants for vehicles in the SEAI electric vehicle purchase grant scheme. Effectively, that was to cap Government supports and ensure they were targeted to the most efficient vehicles rather than supporting those on the higher or more luxury end.
