Workplace Charging Scheme for state-funded education institutions

This grant is for state-funded schools and education institutions to install electric vehicle chargepoint sockets at their site(s). The scheme provides 75% off the cost to buy and install chargepoints up to a maximum of £2,500 per socket and 40 sockets across all sites. Successful applicants will receive a voucher that is valid for 180 days from the date of issue, and the installation must be completed within this time. Applicants must use an authorised installer to install eligible commercial chargepoints. The aim of the scheme is to accelerate the uptake of electric chargepoints for state-funded education institutions. If chargepoints are planned to be used by the public, this should be considered as part of a package of measures to encourage sustainable school travel, including active travel and public transport.
