Your Guide to EV Infrastructure Grant

Understanding the EV Infrastructure Grant

The EV Infrastructure Grant is a government-backed initiative aimed at encouraging the use of electric vehicles by subsidising the cost of installing charge points at commercial locations. The grant offers substantial financial support, effectively reducing the cost of your EV charge point installations.

The EV infrastructure grant for staff and company fleets can contribute up to £15,000 towards the necessary infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations, including the installation of these chargers.

Businesses may receive up to £500 for every parking spot equipped with its own unique charging socket. This applies to both existing charging stations and those planned for future installation through upcoming connection points.

Furthermore, firms can also obtain £350 in financial aid for the purchase and installation of each individual charging socket. This is an additional benefit over and above the funds available for creating a parking area equipped with charging infrastructure.

Eligibility for the EV Infrastructure Grant

To qualify for the EV Infrastructure Grant, your organisation must meet certain criteria, including:

1. Type of Organisation: The grant is available to public sector organisations and businesses, including small and medium-sized enterprises.
2. Charge Point Location: The charge point must be installed at a commercial location, such as a workplace, public car park, or commercial fleet base.
3. Usage of EVs: The grant is designed to support organisations planning to switch to electric vehicles or increase their existing fleet of EVs.
4. Installation by Approved Installers: The grant is only available for installations carried out by government-approved installers, like Blue Leaf Energy.
