Big news for fleet operators aiming to reach Net Zero.
The UK government has launched a new Depot Charging Scheme to accelerate the rollout of zero-emission HGVs, vans, and coaches across the country. It’s a game-changing opportunity for both public and private sector organisations ready to invest in clean transport infrastructure.
What’s on offer?
The scheme is designed to reduce the upfront costs of depot electrification, making it easier for businesses to upgrade their sites with the charging infrastructure they’ll need to support zero-emission fleets.
Here’s a quick overview:
- Up to 75% funding available for chargepoint hardware and civil engineering works
- Maximum support of £1 million per organisation
- Available across the UK – including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
- Apply by 28 November 2025
- Installation must be completed by 31 March 2026
This isn’t just a funding announcement- it’s a rare window to scale up electric vehicle infrastructure with meaningful financial support.
Why this matters…
For fleet operators, switching to electric HGVs or vans brings significant environmental and long-term cost benefits- but it also demands smart infrastructure planning.
