With the Government’s new Depot Charging Scheme now live, there's never been a better time to electrify your fleet. But for many businesses, the challenge isn't just applying for the grant – it’s knowing where to start, who to trust, and how to get everything installed in time.
At EVC Solutions, we help businesses like yours design, install and maintain depot EV charging systems that work, and qualify for the grant.
What’s the Grant Worth?
If your organisation runs vans, HGVs or coaches and owns or leases a depot site, you could get:
- 75% of your infrastructure costs covered, up to £1 million
- Funding for any number of sites (in one application)
- Support for any type or speed of charger, including installation, materials, and civil works
But applications close 28 November 2025, and all installation must be finished by 31 March 2026. That doesn’t leave much time.
Who Can Apply?
This is for public or private fleets, local authorities, and non-profits. You’ll need:
- At least one battery electric van, HGV or coach (owned, leased or on order)
- Consent from your landlord (or own the site)
- Enough grid capacity, or a plan to upgrade
- Evidence of future vehicle uptake and site readiness
How EVC Helps You See What’s Possible
You don’t need to do this alone.
We support your journey at every stage, from initial assessment to funding support, from installation to ongoing maintenance.
Here’s what you get:
- Feasibility and site assessments – we’ll make sure your depot is ready
- Application support – we’ll help you complete the paperwork, permissions and evidence
- Smart infrastructure design – matching charger types to vehicle duty cycles
- Grid capacity consultation – working with DNOs and private grid support
- Installation and commissioning – futureproof, scalable systems that don’t disrupt your operations
- Software and system integration – track usage, costs, and emissions savings
- Long-term maintenance and certification – peace of mind beyond the install
We’re not just another installer. We’re your EV infrastructure partner.
Don’t Leave It Too Late
This is a rare opportunity to fund up to £1 million of depot infrastructure but the deadline is tight and competition will be strong. EVC Solutions helps you apply with confidence, design with certainty, and install without disruption.
There are T+C’S and qualifying conditions that will limit who can apply for the grant.
Applicants must be a FORS registered operator for trucks and either a BVRLA member or registered as LUK Van Excellence accredited for vans.
