Electric vehicle government grants

We'll advise what grants you or your business are entitled for

Supporting our mission to make the UK greener, the Government offers grants to individuals or businesses looking to get electric vehicle chargers installed at their home or company premises.

EV infrastructure grant for staff and fleets


The EV infrastructure grant for staff and fleets will give money towards the infrastructure small to medium businesses need to ready their workplace for electric vehicle charging.


You can claim up to £15,000 towards chargers, as well as for the installation.


For charging infrastructure - businesses can get up to £500 for each parking space that the charging infrastructure will provide a unique chargepoint socket to, either from installed chargepoints or those that will be installed at a future date via the future connection locations.


For chargers - businesses can get up to £350 towards the cost of buying and installing each charger
