Uhulumeni wase-UK umemezele ukwelulwa kwe-Plug-in Taxi Grant kuze kube ngu-April 2025, okuphawula ingqopha-mlando ekuzibophezeleni kwezwe kwezokuthutha ezisimeme.Eyethulwe ngo-2017, i-Plug-in Taxi Grant ibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekukhuthazeni ukwamukelwa kwamakhumbi amatekisi angenayo i-emission ezweni lonke.
Selokhu yasungulwa, i-Plug-in Taxi Grant ibeke ngaphezulu kuka-£50 wezigidi ukweseka ukuthengwa kwamakhumbi amatekisi angaphezu kuka-9,000, namatekisi angaphezu kuka-54% anelayisensi e-London manje asebenza ngogesi, okukhombisa impumelelo esabalele yalolu hlelo.
I-Plug-in Taxi Grant (PiTG) isebenza njengohlelo lokugqugquzela okuhloswe ngalo ukuqinisa ukutholwa kwamatekisi e-Ultra-Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV) eyakhelwe inhloso, ngaleyo ndlela kwehliswe ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni futhi kuthuthukiswe ukusimama kwemvelo.
Izici ezibalulekile zohlelo lwe-PiTG zifaka:
Izinzuzo Zezezimali: I-PiTG inikeza izaphulelo ezifika ku-£7,500 noma £3,000 ematekisini afanelekayo, kuye ngezinto ezifana nebanga lezimoto, ukukhishwa kwekhabhoni, kanye nomklamo.Ngokuphawulekayo, lolu hlelo lubeka eqhulwini izimoto ezihamba ngesihlalo esinamasondo.
Imibandela Yokuhlukanisa: Amatekisi afanelekela uxhaso ahlukaniswa ngamaqembu amabili ngokusekelwe ekukhiqizweni kwekhabhoni kanye nebanga lokukhipha i-zero:
- Isigaba 1 PiTG (kufika ku-£7,500): Izimoto ezinobubanzi obuyiziro obungamamayela angu-70 noma ngaphezulu nezikhithi ezikhishwayo ezingaphansi kuka-50gCO2/km.
- Isigaba 2 PiTG (kufika ku-£3,000): Izimoto ezinebanga elinguziro-emission lamamayela ayi-10 kuye kwangama-69 kanye nezikhithi ezingaphansi kuka-50gCO2/km.
Ukufinyeleleka: Bonke abashayeli bamatekisi namabhizinisi atshala imali ematekisini enziwe ngenhloso entsha angazuza kusibonelelo sikahulumeni uma izimoto zabo zihlangabezana nemibandela yokufaneleka.
Ngaphandle kwempumelelo ye-PiTG ekukhuthazeni ukwamukelwa kwamatekisi kagesi, izinselelo zisaqhubeka, ikakhulukazi mayelana nokufinyeleleka kwengqalasizinda eshaja i-EV, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni zamadolobha.
Kusukela ngoJanuwari 2024, kube nesamba samaphoyinti okushaja we-EV angu-55,301 e-UK, asabalale ezindaweni ezingu-31,445, okuwukunyuka okuphawulekayo okungama-46% kusukela ngoJanuwari 2023, ngokusho kwedatha ye-Zapmap.Nokho, lezi zibalo azibandakanyi inani elikhulu lezindawo zokushaja ezifakwe ezindlini noma ezindaweni zokusebenza, okulinganiselwa ukuthi zingaphezu kwamayunithi angu-700,000.
Mayelana nesikweletu se-VAT, ukushajwa kwemoto kagesi ngendawo yokushaja yomphakathi kungaphansi kwesilinganiso esivamile se-VAT, akukho ukukhululwa noma ukukhululeka okukhona njengamanje.
Uhulumeni uyavuma ukuthi izindleko eziphezulu zamandla kanye nokufinyelela okulinganiselwe ezindaweni zokukhokhiswa ngaphandle komgwaqo kunomthelela ezinseleleni eziqhubekayo abashayeli be-EV ababhekana nazo.
Ukwelulwa kwe-Plug-in Taxi Grant kugcizelela ukuzibophezela kukahulumeni ekukhuthazeni izixazululo ezisimeme zezokuthutha kuyilapho kubhekwana nezidingo eziguqukayo zabashayeli bamatekisi futhi kugqugquzelwa ukunakekelwa kwemvelo.
