EV Charging Grants for Business
EV Charging Grants Explained, Find out how Fit Solar can help.
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 s
You can bundle multiple depot sites under a single application. Think big — this grant is built to scale.
