A GOVERNMENT GRANT DESIGNED TO GET OLDER CARS OFF IRISH ROADS

About the scheme

Ready to make the switch to electric? The ICE2EV Scrappage Scheme could help you get there. Backed by a €10 million Government of Ireland fund and administered by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), the scheme offers eligible drivers up to €8,500 towards a new Nissan electric vehicle when they scrap a qualifying older petrol or diesel car.

The process is designed to be simple and hassle-free. Once your eligibility is confirmed, the grant is applied directly to the purchase price of your new Nissan EV, and your Nissan dealer will manage the application process with SEAI on your behalf.

With funding allocated separately to urban and rural applicants, availability is limited. Register your interest below and take the next step towards smarter, cleaner electric driving.

HOW THE SCRAPPAGE SCHEME WORKS WHEN YOU BUY A NEW NISSAN EV

Step by Step

Your local Nissan dealer is registered with SEAI and will manage the entire ICE2EV Scrappage Scheme application on your behalf. The grant is applied directly to the cost of your new Nissan electric vehicle, making the process simple, seamless and hassle-free.

CHECK IF YOUR CAR QUALIFIES

To be eligible for the ICE2EV Scrappage Grant, your existing vehicle must be a petrol or diesel car registered in 2013 or earlier. It must also have been owned by you for at least 12 months and be currently taxed, insured and NCT compliant (or recently expired within the scheme requirements).

CHOOSE YOUR NEW NISSAN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

Browse Nissan's range of fully electric vehicles and select an eligible battery electric vehicle (BEV) with a retail price under €50,000. Popular qualifying models include the Nissan LEAF, Nissan ARIYA and the all-new Nissan MICRA EV.

YOUR NISSAN DEALER SUBMITS THE APPLICATION

Once you've chosen your new Nissan EV, your dealer will submit the ICE2EV Scrappage Grant application to SEAI on your behalf. Simply bring your vehicle registration certificate and any required documentation, and your Nissan dealer will take care of the rest.

RECEIVE YOUR SCRAPPAGE GRANT INSTANTLY

The €8,500 ICE2EV Scrappage Grant, along with any available SEAI electric vehicle grant, is deducted directly from the purchase price of your new Nissan EV at the point of sale. There's no need to apply separately or wait for reimbursement, helping you save money immediately when switching to electric driving.
