EV Charging Grants for Business

EV Charging Grants Explained, Find out how Fit Solar can help.

evgrant

Thinking of installing EV chargepoints for your staff or fleet?

The UK Government is offering two major grants to make it easier and more affordable for businesses of all sizes. Whether you're a small team looking to electrify a few spaces or a national operator planning depot-wide charging, there’s funding available — and Fit Solar is here to help you unlock it.

The EV Infrastructure Grant for Staff & Fleets

Perfect for small to medium businesses (SMEs)

This grant is designed for businesses with fewer than 250 employees who want to install chargepoints at their workplace for staff or company vehicles. It's great for offices, warehouses, or mixed-use commercial sites.

What you get

Up to £15,000 per site toward chargepoints and infrastructure
Up to £500 per parking space fitted with EV infrastructure
Up to £350 per chargepoint socket you install
Can be used across up to 5 sites (so £75,000 total potential support)

Are you eligible?

You’re an SME with less than 250 staff
You own or lease the site (and have permission to install)
You’ve got at least 5 parking spaces, and you’ll install at least one chargepoint
You haven’t already claimed other grants on the same chargepoints
Your installer (like Fit Solar!) is OZEV-approved

The Depot Charging Scheme (DCS)

Ideal for larger fleets, logistics, and transport depots

This one’s aimed at businesses or local authorities running fleets of electric vans, HGVs, or coaches — and needing proper depot infrastructure to keep them charged and moving.

What’s covered

Up to 75% of your installation and infrastructure costs
Up to £1 million per organisation
Includes chargepoints, groundworks, cabling, and smart energy systems
You can bundle multiple depot sites under a single application. Think big — this grant is built to scale.

Who can apply?

You run or plan to run at least one electric van, HGV, or coach
You own, lease, or have permission to upgrade your depot site
Your project hasn’t started yet (no digging until approved!)
You’re operating in the UK (excluding Channel Islands/Isle of Man)
Your installer (like Fit Solar!) is OZEV-approved

  • I was recommended FIT Solar by another electrician. From the first contact they were timely, efficient and very knowledgeable. I followed their recommendations and I could not be happier with the outcome. They installed three 5kw batteries, and a 6kw solar panel system. I only have electricity at the house (no gas) and I run an electric vehicle. I charge the car solely at home, heat my hot water and my electricity bill has halved already. I would highly recommend this local company.
