We continue to monitor grants for homes and workplaces to ensure best value for the taxpayer. We will make a further announcement on these grants in due course.

The Department continues to work closely with industry to support electric vehicle charging infrastructure and meet rising demand. As of 1 October 2026, Government and industry have supported the installation of over 124,000 public chargers across the UK. The Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund is expected to deliver over 100,000 more near homes across England. We continue to monitor charge point rollout.
