Four Citroën electric vans eligible for plug-in van grant following extension until 2027

Four Citroën electric vans eligible for plug-in van grant following extension until 2027

Date Posted: 27 August 2025

The UK Government has confirmed the extension of the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant (PiVG) until 2027, a move that has been warmly welcomed by Citroën. The extension provides vital reassurance to businesses considering the switch to electric, and ensures that four of Citroën’s most popular vans remain eligible for valuable financial support.

The current value of the grant is £2,500 for vans under 2.5 tonnes and £5,000 for vans between 2.5 and 5 tonnes. Citroën’s comprehensive electric commercial vehicle line-up—comprising the New ë-C3 Van, ë-Berlingo Van, ë-Dispatch and ë-Relay—are all included in the scheme, making them an attractive choice for businesses of all sizes.

To make the transition to electric even easier, Citroën is also offering SMEs and sole traders a free home wallbox installation worth up to £1,050 when purchasing an eligible electric van. Available until the end of September, this initiative is designed to give small businesses and independent operators the confidence and convenience to charge at home without additional upfront costs.

The New ë-C3 Van offers up to 201 miles of range (WLTP combined) and provides generous load space, making it an affordable and practical solution for urban delivery drivers and locally based businesses. After the PiVG has been applied, the ë-C3 Van is available from just £19,937. The rest of the range provides even greater flexibility: the UK-built ë-Berlingo Van starts at £26,455, the versatile ë-Dispatch is priced from £36,210, and the spacious ë-Relay begins at £45,959.17 (all excluding VAT, after grant). Each model is available in a variety of sizes and trims, ensuring there is a Citroën electric van for every need.

 


This commitment extends beyond commercial vehicles. Citroën was the first manufacturer to gain approval for its passenger vehicles under the UK Government’s new Electric Car Grant. As a result, models including the New ë-C3, New ë-C3 Aircross, New ë-C4, New ë-C4 X, New ë-C5 Aircross and ë-Berlingo (M1) are all eligible for the £1,500 incentive. In total, 10 Citroën vehicles now qualify for government support, reinforcing the brand’s position as a leader in affordable electric mobility.

With the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant now confirmed until 2027, combined with Citroën’s competitive pricing and additional support packages, there has never been a better time for businesses and drivers to make the switch to electric.


On top of the government discount, businesses can save over £2,800 per year in fuel costs compared to diesel, benefit from lower servicing bills, and reduce their environmental impact. Electric vans also help futureproof your fleet against changing regulations and clean air zones.

Yes! In addition to the government grant, Citroën is offering SMEs and sole traders a free home wallbox installation worth up to £1,050 when purchasing an eligible van. This makes charging at home simple, convenient and more affordable. The offer is available until the end of September.

The UK Government has confirmed the scheme will run until at least 2027. This gives businesses and sole traders peace of mind when planning their next vehicle purchase.

Sherwoods Motor Group Limited is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Sherwoods Motor Group Limited to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow. Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.
