The Electric Small Public Service Vehicle Scheme (eSPSV) supports the uptake of electric vehicles in the SPSVs sector (taxis, hackneys, and limousines). The scheme is funded by the Department of Transport and administered by the National Transport Authority of Ireland (NTA).
The 2026 Scheme has been allocated funding of €7 million. Due to the record number of applications, the eSPSV26 Grant Scheme is fully subscribed.
The NTA has paused the scheme. Eligible applications received will be reviewed and processed. Following the assessment of the initial applications, a decision will be made later in the year on whether the scheme will reopen.
It is expected all funding allocations will be utilised in 2026.
