Grants for home recharge points for electric vehicles reduced from 1 September

New funding to encourage plug-in car use  says the Government's press release, but the situation appears to be rather that the old scheme is coming to an end, petering out during a transitional period from June to the end of August, and being replaced by a less generous arrangement. Grants up to 75 per cent of the cost of a charging point will be available - up to a maximum of £900, instead of £1,000. The Government's argument is that the cost of installations has come down as more people have put charging points in.
