Extended range models of the all-new Nissan Micra now qualify for the full £3,750 UK Electric Car Grant due to a new Europe-sourced battery.
The Micra 52kWh, which is built at the ElectriCity car production hub in northern France, will be priced from £23,245 with the higher Electric Car Grant applied.
First UK customer deliveries of the new city car are scheduled to take place in the coming weeks, with Nissan confirming that both existing and future customer orders for the Micra 52kWh will qualify for the full EV discount. The Micra 40kWh versions also continue to qualify for the lower £1,500 Electric Car Grant.
Available with two battery options, the range starts with a 40kWh model capable of up to 196 miles on a single charge (WLTP). This model qualifies for the lower £1,500 Electric Car Grant and is priced from £21,495.
The longer-range Micra 52kWh model can travel up to 257 miles on a single charge (WLTP) and is priced from £23,245 including the higher £3,750 Electric Car Grant.
James Taylor, managing director of Nissan GB, said:
“Our new battery supplier means our longer-range Micra 52kWh now qualifies for the full £3,750 Electric Car Grant, ensuring great value for money for our customers.
“It also means that both of our new model launches so far this year – Micra and Leaf – are available with the maximum EV grant discount, demonstrating Nissan’s continued leadership in providing accessible and exciting electric cars for people keen to switch to zero emission motoring.”
