Renault and its sporting sibling Alpine are giving Britain’s electric car buyers a major end-of-year boost as three of their newest models – the Renault 5, Renault 4 and Alpine A290 – have become eligible for the Government’s full £3,750 Electric Car Grant (ECG).

The incentive applies to versions fitted with the 52kWh battery made at Renault Group’s new gigafactory in Douai, northern France. The site forms part of the company’s sustainability-focused ‘ElectriCity’ production hub and meets the UK Government’s strictest environmental criteria – a key factor in unlocking the top-tier grant.
