EV Charger Grant Rises to £500 per Chargepoint

The UK Government has confirmed a significant increase to electric vehicle (EV) chargepoint funding, with grants rising to £500 per socket from 1 April 2026 until the end of March 2027. 

Under the updated scheme, the maximum grant, previously £350, will increase by more than 40%, helping to reduce the upfront cost of installing EV chargers at homes and workplaces.

The grant uplift covers multiple schemes including:

• Workplace charging scheme. Open to businesses, charities and public sector organisations, you can apply for up to 40 sockets across your sites, each one receiving an installation grant of £500. 
• Landlords for residential properties. 
• Home charge points for renters and flat owners with private off street parking.
• Households with on street parking when also installing a cross-pavement solution, such as a charging gully.
