To boost the Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the government has extended the Workplace Charging Scheme to support state-funded schools and education institutions to install EV chargepoint sockets at their sites.
Eligible institutions in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland can receive 75% off the cost of purchasing and installing chargepoints, up to a maximum of:
- £2500 per socket
- 40 sockets across all sites (this includes any applications made previously through the Workplace Charging Scheme)
Academy trusts can apply for up to a maximum of 40 sockets for each institution within the academy trust.
Independent schools may apply for funding through the Workplace Charging Scheme.
Successful applicants will receive a voucher valid for 180 days from the date of issue. An authorised installer must complete the installation within this time.
The closing date for applications is the 31st March 2026.
