Strange indeed. Almost though they recognised it would be a monumental moment of hypocrisy to announce *another* fuel duty freeze and this at the same time, while trumpeting their green credentials.
As far as I am aware, the EV plug-in car grant is there to encourage the adoption of EVs. That's it. The irony of this is that larger, more expensive cars are the ones that are more polluting, so for example your average e-tron/ipace driver would, in theory, be a better target for a subsidy to sway them away from buying a Q7/X5 type vehicle.
