Am I still entitled to the £2,500 plug-in car grant?
I paid a £500 deposit to secure an electric car from a main dealer, pending the financial arrangements being made. This was on 12 December. I was also given a lease contract statement which states valid for 21 days.

My opinion is that I committed to buy the car before the grant was cut and should therefore be entitled to the £2,500.

A friend of mine placed an order with his local dealer for a new electric vehicle. He has the receipt for the £500 deposit paid, and for the trade in of his previous car, which they took, and the £2,500...
