Sales of electric and plug-in vehicles in the UK are rapidly increasing according to Department of Transport figures.
Between July and September 2014, 5059 Government plug in car grants - which reduces the price of electric by up to £5000 for cars and £7000 for vans - were provided.
The Department of Transport claims that this figure is more than double the number of grants for the previous three-month period (2726 claims made) and almost a third of all of grants since the scheme was launched in 2010. By the end of September 16,149 claims were made.
The Government body also claims there are over 17,000 grant-funded ULEVs (ultra low emissions vehicles) on the UK's roads.
"This growing confidence helps the UK strengthen its position as a global leader in developing green technology. Expanding this sector is also creating thousands of jobs and contributing to Britain's thriving £11 billion automotive industry, and encouraging more investment in the UK," said transport minister, Baroness Kramer
