What is this scheme?
This grant is for small and medium-sized businesses. An EV infrastructure grant gives you money off the cost of wider building and installation work that’s needed to install multiple charge point sockets. The work can be for sockets you want to install now and in the future. For example, an EV infrastructure grant can cover things like wiring and posts.
The grant covers 75% of the cost of the work, up to a maximum of £15,000. You can get:
- up to £350 per charge point socket installed
- up to £500 per parking space enabled with supporting infrastructure
You can receive up to 5 grants across 5 different sites.
