The government has confirmed that £1bn of funding is being allocated to support zero-emission transition for vans, HGVs and coaches.
The scheme will support the installation of charging infrastructure at fleet depots, and applicants can apply for up to 70% of charge point and civil costs, up to a maximum of £1 million across all sites. The Depot Charging Scheme is expected to be worth £170 million and will run until 2030.

The first application window runs from 25 March 2026 to 30 June 2026 (or earlier if funding is exhausted), and will fund 70% of chargepoint and civil costs, up to £1 million across all sites.
