Unlocking Government Funding for EV Charging with NFU Energy

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more prevalent, the demand for effective charging infrastructure is on the rise. However, the cost of installing EV charging points can be substantial. Thankfully, the UK Government offers several funding schemes to alleviate these expenses, and NFU Energy is well-positioned to help you navigate these opportunities.

Key Government Funding Schemes

  • Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS): Provides up to 75% of the cost (with a maximum of £350 per socket) for installing EV charging points at workplaces. This supports businesses in offering charging facilities to employees and visitors. Note: The WCS is available for staff and fleet vehicles only and is set to close on 31 March 2025.
  • Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant for Staff and Fleets: Covers up to 75% of the costs for installing EV charging infrastructure specifically for staff and fleet vehicles. Unlike the WCS, this grant can support more extensive infrastructure projects, including charging bays and associated works.
  • Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Renters or Flat Owners: Offers up to 75% funding for installing home charging points for renters and flat owners, facilitating EV charging in multi-unit dwellings.
  • Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Infrastructure Grant for Landlords: Provides up to 75% funding for installing EV charging points in rental properties, helping landlords offer charging facilities to tenants.
