UK i8's lose EV grant i3's get £4500

As from March the low emission grant of £5000 is being replaced

Cars with over 70 mile electric range receive £4500 those under £2500

But cars over £60000 and < 70 mile range get nothing so thats all i8's, Mclaren P1 etc. Tesla's get £4500

It had to come I suppose

... Albeit the expensive, early-generation, low-efficiency worms.
