Are there EV charger grants in Scotland?

There are routes, but they are targeted rather than universal. The general homeowner chargepoint grant is closed; current support focuses on renters, flat owners, landlords and organisations, and each route has its own conditions. We hold the current status in our funding database.

Can my business get funding for EV chargers?

Eligible organisations may be able to claim a voucher-based grant per eligible socket, subject to a published cap, off-street parking and designated staff or fleet use. The organisation applies first, then instructs an eligible installer within the voucher period.

Do I need approval before installation?

Where a grant is being claimed, yes — and almost always before any work begins. Approval obtained after the installation is normally not available, and an installer who is not eligible under the scheme can void a claim. This is the single most expensive mistake we see.

Can a fleet or depot be funded?

Depot funding has been the least stable part of the landscape. Where a window is open it is usually aimed at infrastructure and multi-chargepoint sites, and it requires the organisation to apply. We assess the depot regardless, because the capacity model is the same either way.

Fleets & depots

Fleet and depot EV charging

Electrifying a depot is a maximum-demand problem before it is a charger problem. Vehicles return within a window, charge at the same time, and the site has to absorb that load without breaching its supply.

We assess the depot, model the load, and design a phased strategy — AC and DC, managed within the capacity you have.

Government infrastructure grant

Details pending confirmation

EV infrastructure grant for staff and fleets

A grant route aimed at the enabling infrastructure behind multiple chargepoints - the cabling, containment and distribution work that makes a larger installation possible - rather than the chargepoints themselves.

Designed for: Business, Charity, Public-sector organisation, Fleet operator
Potential support: Published as a percentage of eligible infrastructure cost, subject to a cap.
Key considerations: Eligible organisations with off-street parking and a planned multi-chargepoint installation. The infrastructure works and the chargepoints are assessed under the scheme's own rules.

Workplace Charging Scheme

A voucher-based grant for eligible organisations installing chargepoints for staff and visitors. The organisation applies, receives a voucher, and then books an eligible installer within the voucher period.

Designed for: Business, Charity, Public-sector organisation, School / education provider, Fleet operator
Potential support: 350 pounds per eligible socket, up to the published socket cap per applicant.
Key considerations: Eligible registered businesses, charities and public-sector organisations, with off-street parking, designated staff or fleet use, and an eligible installer. Charging is not permitted to be used to generate revenue from the general public under the scheme rules.

What you need to know

Start with the site, not the vehicles

The depot assessment records the incoming supply, the distribution and protection arrangement, the civils, and the space available. From that we build the load model: how many vehicles, over what dwell time, at what charge rate, and what that does to the site's peak.

Incoming capacity, transformer and switchgear headroom
Maximum demand today, and after each phase
Vehicle dwell patterns and shift times
AC versus DC split, and where each is justified
Load management, sequencing and site controls
Civils: ducting, bays, canopy and lighting

AC or DC, and why the answer is usually both

Vehicles that sit overnight suit AC charging, which is cheaper per bay and gentler on the supply. Vehicles that must turn around mid-shift need DC. A depot usually needs a small number of DC bays and a larger number of AC bays, with the control system deciding the order.

The funding landscape, honestly

Depot-facing funding has been the least stable part of the picture. Rather than publish a rate that may already have changed, we hold the current status in our funding database — and where no window is open, we say so and plan the project on its own merits.

Funding update pending

Depot-specific funding terms are not confirmed at the time of writing. Register your interest and we will tell you when the position changes — we will not quote a rate we cannot evidence.

Already have renewable assets?

Funding is not the only opportunity. Understanding the condition, safety and performance of existing solar, battery or charging assets could identify problems, risks and optimisation opportunities — particularly where an installation has never been independently inspected.
