Joe Mallon Motor Group welcomes new ICE2EV Scrappage Scheme!

Joe Mallon Motor Group has officially welcomed the Government’s highly anticipated ICE2EV Scrappage Scheme.

Launching this July and administered by the SEAI, the initiative is designed to accelerate Ireland’s transition to sustainable transport by making electric vehicles (EVs) significantly more affordable for local motorists.

The scheme introduces a €5,000 scrappage payment for drivers trading in qualifying petrol or diesel vehicles that are 13 years old or more.

Crucially, this incentive can be stacked directly on top of the existing €3,500 SEAI electric vehicle purchase grant, unlocking up to €8,500 in total financial support for eligible buyers looking to make the switch to a cleaner alternative.

With prominent dealerships in Naas and Portlaoise, Joe Mallon Motors is actively encouraging motorists across Kildare and Laois to explore the commercial opportunities this funding provides.

The group boasts an extensive, award-winning line-up of electric passenger cars across the Renault and Peugeot brands, catering to diverse lifestyles and household budgets.

Renault’s premium EV line-up features celebrated, retro-inspired icons like the newly reborn Renault 4 and the Renault 5—the reigning 2026 Irish Car of the Year and 2025 European Car of the Year.

For drivers requiring more space, the stylish Megane crossover and the spacious Scenic—voted 2025 Irish Car of the Year—offer exceptional range and family-focused utility.

Peugeot’s offering matches this strength, spanning from the agile, city-friendly E-208 to the fastback E-3008 SUV, up to the robust E-5008 seven-seater, which was recently crowned NPPA Best Family Car 2025.

“We are delighted to see the introduction of the ICE2EV Scheme, which will help more motorists take advantage of the many benefits of electric driving,” said Philip Mallon of Joe Mallon Motors.

“For many customers, the combination of government support and the significantly lower running costs of an EV makes now an excellent time to consider making the switch,” he added.

The launch of the scheme aligns perfectly with the upcoming 262 registration period.

By combining the €8,500 government injection with Joe Mallon Motors’ exclusive finance packages and promotional offers, local buyers can currently secure some of the strongest market savings available on a new EV.

Drivers are advised to contact the Naas or Portlaoise showrooms early to secure their order slots ahead of the July registration rush.
