EV Charger Installation Grants: Are You Eligible in 2026?
Thinking about installing an EV charger at home or at your workplace? In 2026, government support could help eligible drivers, renters, flat owners, landlords and businesses reduce the cost of installing an electric vehicle chargepoint.
With eligible schemes offering grants of up to £500 per socket, now could be a great time to explore your options.
Can You Get an EV Charger Grant in 2026?
The UK government has extended several EV chargepoint grant schemes until 31 March 2027. From 1 April 2026, the maximum grant increased to £500 per socket for several eligible schemes.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible if you are:
-
A renter living in a residential property
-
A flat owner
-
A household with eligible on-street parking
-
A residential landlord
-
An eligible business or workplace
-
A charity or public-sector organisation
Eligibility requirements vary depending on the specific grant scheme.
How Much Could You Save?
Eligible applicants may be able to receive up to £500 towards the cost of installing an EV chargepoint under applicable 2026 grant schemes.
That means your EV charger installation could become significantly more affordable.
If you are eligible for the applicable grant and receive the full £500 support, you could save £500 towards your installation.
