The Electric Small Public Service Vehicle Grant Scheme supports the uptake of EVs in the SPSVs sector (taxis, hackneys, and limousines).
The scheme was initially launched in February with a €12.5 million budget. It received a record number of applications, which have now been assessed, and the scheme was re-opened for applications on the 23rd of June.
