The Department of Transport is to cut the grants available to some electric cars - capping the price of vehicles that qualify, and reducing the incentive for plug-in hybrids.
At the moment full electric cars and plug-in hybrids can qualify for grants of up to €5,000 from the Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland.
However, from 1 July, the maximum grant available to plug-in hybrids will be reduced to €2,500.
