You can use an infrastructure grant and a chargepoint grant on the same property - Ask us how.
Grants for EV chargepoints help you save on electric vehicle chargepoint socket installation costs.
Get either £350 or 75% off your socket purchase and installation.
In a financial year, you can get:
200 grants for residential properties
100 grants for commercial properties
You can have them across multiple properties and installations or just for one.
EV chargepoint grant
EV infrastructure grant
You can get an EV infrastructure grant to cover the cost of broader building and installation work.
It can be for sockets you want to install now and in the future. For example, wiring and posts can be covered by EV infrastructure grants.
Get up to £30,000 or 75% off the cost of the work. The amount depends on the number of parking spaces covered.
Each year, you can get up to 30 infrastructure grants.
Each infrastructure grant must be used for different properties.
