Detailed Category Overview
- Category A: For non-fully electric cars with engines ≤1,600cc and ≤97kW (130bhp), and fully electric cars ≤110kW (147bhp). Prices eased, improving affordability for many mainstream models.
- Category B: For non-fully electric cars >1,600cc or >97kW (130bhp), and fully electric cars >110kW (147bhp). Larger and more powerful vehicles dominate this segment; the drop offers some relief to buyers eyeing mid-to-premium models.
- Category C: Commercial vehicles (vans, lorries, buses). This was the only gainer, suggesting firmer demand or tighter quotas in the business segment.
- Category D: Motorcycles. A modest decline may help riders and delivery businesses.
- Category E: Open category (usable for any vehicle type except motorcycles). The dip keeps it competitive versus Category B for some buyers.
