Starting April 1, 2026, the UK will boost EV charge point grants to £500 per socket—over 40% higher than before—helping renters, flat owners, and businesses cover nearly half installation costs. The expansion simplifies access by reducing grant types and supports efforts to improve charging access ahead of the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles. The move complements existing incentives like the Electric Car Grant and ongoing investments in public charging infrastructure.
