Available Grants

Because electric vehicles are a crucial step to decarbonising our transport system and reducing air pollution through zero tailpipe emissions, the government recognises that many people will want to charge their electric vehicles at home. The following grants are currently available.

Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG)

A government Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG) is currently available that can help with up to 75% of the costs (capped at £350). However, this is now only open to homeowners living in flats and people living in any type of rented accommodation.

Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS)

At the time of writing, there is also a government scheme for businesses called the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). It's a voucher-based scheme that contributes towards the cost of purchasing and installing electric vehicle charge points. Companies can claim up to £300 per charge point for up to 20 sockets.

Scotland Energy Saving Trust

If you live in Scotland, Energy Saving Trust offers individuals up to £400 towards the cost of purchasing and installing home chargepoints for electric vehicles.
