Grants and support

Grants and support to install chargers.

Workplace Charging Scheme

The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) provides eligible businesses, charities, and public sector organisations with a grant to reduce the cost of installing electric vehicle chargepoints at their premises. The grant covers up to 75% of the purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £350 per socket for up to 40 sockets.

EV chargepoint grants for schools and educational institutions

This grant supports state-funded schools, colleges, nurseries and academies with the cost of installing EV chargepoints for staff and visitors. Organisations can apply for up to £2,500 per socket for up to 40 sockets across all sites, helping reduce carbon emissions and support staff to make the switch to an electric vehicle.
