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 I combine solar, battery storage and EV charging?

Yes, and doing it as one design is usually cheaper than three separate projects — the containment, distribution and supply work is done once. Whether a single funding route covers all three is a different question; some do, some cover only part.

Workplaces

Workplace EV charging grants

A workplace charging project is an electrical infrastructure project with a charger on the end of it. Funding may be available through a voucher scheme for eligible organisations, subject to scheme criteria and approval.

We deliver the whole sequence — funding check, survey, capacity assessment, design, installation, commissioning and ongoing management — as one accountable package.

Interest-free loan and cashback

Active

Business Energy Scotland SME loan and cashback

An interest-free loan route for Scottish small and medium-sized businesses and charities installing energy-efficiency or renewable measures, with cashback support where the scheme offers it. The assessment and approval sit with the scheme.

Designed for: Business, Charity, Landlord
Potential support: Loan and cashback levels are set by the scheme. Confirm current published terms.
Key considerations: Scottish SMEs, charities and some landlords, with an eligible measure, a technical assessment and approval from the scheme. Loan terms and cashback availability are set by the scheme.

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.

Government chargepoint grant

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

The delivery sequence

Charging installations fail on the electrical side far more often than on the charger side. Our sequence starts with capacity, not hardware, so the design is settled before anyone orders equipment.

Funding: confirm which route applies and what it requires
Survey: supply, earthing, distribution and cable routes
Design: charger positions, containment, protection and labelling
Capacity: maximum demand, load management or a supply upgrade
Installation and commissioning, with the certificates and handover
User management and maintenance once the site is live

Where a voucher scheme bites

Voucher schemes are time-limited and procedural: the organisation applies first, the voucher is issued, and the installer has a window to complete the work. Starting before the voucher exists, or using an installer who is not eligible, normally voids the claim.

The indicative calculator below uses only the published per-socket figure held in our funding database. It is not a quotation and not a decision.

Charging staff without creating a problem

Unmanaged charging can push a site past its agreed capacity. Load management keeps the installation inside the existing supply, which is usually far cheaper than a network upgrade — and it is a design decision, not a setting to fix later.

Worked out from published figures

What the published support could add up to

The calculator multiplies the number of sockets by the per-socket figure held in our funding database, and stops at the published cap. It does not model your project cost, because eligible costs are decided by the scheme.

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.
