Vauxhall Motors has cut £3,000 from the price of its Corsa-e and Mokka-e electric vehicles to maintain their affordability following changes to Government’s plug-in car grant (PiCG).

The Corsa-e hatchback now starts from £25,805 after application of the PiCG – reduced to £1,500 in another “overnight” change to the grant last week – and the all-new Mokka-e £29,365.

Paul Willcox, managing director of the Stellantis-owned car brand, said: “Vauxhall wants to move the UK to electric motoring as quickly as possible, which is why we have committed to being an electric-only brand from 2028.

“In light of a further evolution to the Government Plug-in Car Grant, we have taken the decision to change our pricing policy on our all-electric Corsa-e and Mokka-e models.

“With more attainable pricing from significant reductions on both models, as well as the grant, we hope to put zero-emissions-in-use motoring within the reach of even more British motorists.”
