Electric Small Public Service Vehicle Grant Scheme
The Electric Small Public Service Vehicle Grant Scheme supports the uptake of EVs in the SPSVs sector (taxis, hackneys, and limousines).
In recognition of the important role the sector plays in decarbonising the broader transport system, the scheme has increased from €2m in 2020 to €12.5m in 2025, with grants of up to €20K available to existing SPSV drivers who scrap older, high mileage vehicles for new full electric models.
Drivers can apply for grants of up to €10,000 towards the purchase of a new full battery eSPSV with a further €2,500 available to convert it to a wheelchair accessible model. Those scrapping older, more polluting, or high mileage vehicles are now eligible for double the normal grant if they make the switch to electric with €20K available for a new full electric or €25K for a wheelchair accessible new battery electric vehicle.
