Now might be a good time to establish residency in the United Kingdom as the "Office for Low Emission Vehicles" has announced that the Prius PHV meets the required criteria for its Plug-In Car Grant. The grant provides up to £5000 (currently $7,892 USD) towards the cost of the Prius PHV when it goes on sale worldwide in 2012.
Jon Williams, Toyota Managing Director, said: “I welcome today’s announcement which demonstrates that Toyota’s advanced, user friendly plug-in technology is recognised as having significant potential to make a valuable contribution to the UK’s low carbon transport strategy.
“Toyota is committed to developing sustainable low emissions mobility and Prius Plug-in Hybrid marks an important step in our environmental leadership, delivering exceptional emissions and fuel performance in urban driving.
“This consumer incentive scheme will further strengthen the case for Prius Plug-in Hybrid among private and fleet owners, following the model’s market introduction in 2012.”
