Ireland's new EV scrappage scheme

New ICE2EV Scrappage Scheme | Opens July 2026

Own a 2013 or older petrol or diesel car? Ireland's new scrappage scheme puts up to €8,500 towards your switch to a brand-new electric vehicle — applied right at the point of sale.

Announced by Minister Darragh O'Brien on 3 June 2026, the new ICE2EV scrappage scheme opens early July 2026. At Finlay Motor Group we are a registered SEAI EV dealer — meaning we handle the entire application on your behalf and deduct the grant directly from your new car's price.


Key rules at a glance

  • 2013 or older petrol/diesel only. BEVs and PHEVs are not eligible for scrappage under this scheme.
  • 12 months prior ownership required. The vehicle being scrapped must have been in your name for at least 12 months before application.
  • Taxed, insured & NCT. The NCT must not have expired more than 6 months before the application date.
  • New private EV purchase required. Grant-eligible cars from 262 plates onwards, up to a new price cap of €50,000.
  • €10m total fund · 65% ring-fenced for rural areas. Grants close when the fund is exhausted — first come, first served.
  • We apply for you. Finlay Motor Group applies on your behalf as a registered SEAI dealer and deducts the full grant at point of sale.


Important Information

Standard EV grants are unaffected. If your car doesn't qualify for scrappage, the usual €3,500 SEAI EV purchase grant remains open as normal.
