When you say anybody can get the grant for e-vehicles, does that include saloon eSPSVs?

Yes...but the grant for that is half that of the existing licence holder grant and i think that licence has to be maintained on an eSPSV going forward.

So, the temporary moratorium on the issue of saloon plates is officially terminated... during a fucking pandemic... and, heading for a new normal to which taxis are wholly unsuited according to many drivers and company bosses?
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

The Nissan Leaf base model is 42k and the grant for a new EV licence is 10k,over 30k is a big investment.

Indeed... a big investment for a small car that is restricted to one passenger (might be 2, can't remember) by Free Now.

Nonetheless, one would still expect the self-appointed drivers' representatives to be making some noise... or do they just agree that Govt/NTA know best?

They do unless it's drug-related, in which case they would advocate for leniency on the grounds the guy is separated and living in a shed!

If you scrap your car you can get 20K.

I know Marky...that's for existing licence holders only...i'm exploring the idea at the moment,the Kia e-Niro is my choice...but it's 45k,
The only stumbling block at present is having to plate the car up and passed suitability first before the funds are released from the NTA,but as i've said in a previous post you can nominate the bank account from whoever you're buying the car from....i've raised this with both the Nissan and Kia dealers in Drog to see if they're prepared to accept that option.
