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.

As of the 4th of July, the status of Electric SPSV Grant Scheme 2025 applications is as follows:

Total 3,685
Paid and Approved 401
It should be noted the total figure includes provisional grant offers, newly received applications, and applications that have lapsed or been withdrawn by applicants.
