The depot charging scheme aims to support the uptake of zero emission Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGVs), vans, and coaches by part-funding the installation of charging infrastructure at fleet depots.
The program covers 75% of chargepoint and civil costs incurred, up to a maximum of one million pounds across all sites.
Applicants can apply to as many sites as they wish, but the scheme is limited to one application per organisation.
The program is open to public and private sector fleets, local authorities and non-profit organisations, located in England, Scotland, Wales and/or Northern Ireland.
The application window will close on 28 November 2025 or when funding has been exhausted (whichever is sooner), and works must be completed by 31 March 2026.
Support for the purchase of electric vans and HGVs is available through the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant.
