In the wake of a government meeting with automotive industry leaders on Monday night, it was announced that existing subsidies, which were due to end in 2020, will stay in place until 2025.

From now on, subsidy on fully-electric cars costing up to €40,000 ((£37,517, $44,518 ), will climb to €6,000, from €4,000 per car. Hybrid vehicles will get a €4,000 subsidy.
