Read our Skoda Elroq review
Few cars on this list are more capable than the Skoda Elroq. Most versions of the crossover are eligible for the grant discount, including the 85 SE L, which offers an 82kWh battery and up to 356 miles of range, according to Skoda.
Skoda Enyaq
Original list price: £39,010
Price after grant: £37,510
Read our Skoda Enyaq review
Oddly enough, the Skoda Enyaq has a list price above the government’s £37,000 threshold, but it still qualifies for the grant because it shares much of its underpinnings with the Elroq. That means you can snap up an SE L or 60 Edition for £1500 less than usual. For that, you will get a competitive 270 miles of range, based on the official figures.
Toyota C-HR+
Original list price: £34,495
Price after grant: £32,995
Read our Toyota C-HR+ review
The C-HR+ brings a familiar SUV-coupé silhouette to the ECG ranks – but confusingly it isn’t actually related to the C-HR hybrid. The EV is available with two battery sizes, the larger 77kWh unit unlocking a headline-grabbing 378-mile range. Toyota may have been slower than some rivals to embrace full electrification, but the C-HR+ makes up ground by balancing style and practicality with a commanding 10-year warranty and a refreshingly intuitive interior.
