Plug-in car grant extension - how do I apply?

I just took delivery of a pre-registered electric car and the Government has announced an extension to the £1,500 plug-in car grant. How do I apply?

The extension only applies to new cars which were ordered before 14 June 2022 (when the plug-in car grant closed to new orders) with the delivery period for those orders now extended to 31 March 2023. Car dealers make the application on behalf of customers.
