The WCS alone funded 69,439 charge point sockets, at a value of £8.3m. Under this scheme, annual voucher redemptions peaked at 13,293 in 2022, before declining over the next two years to 6,634 in 2024. However, in 2025 this rose again, with a year-on-year increase of 13.14%. Dawsongroup also found that the South East of England has recorded the most WCS socket installations since 2016, followed by the North West and East of England. Wales and Northern Ireland installed the fewest. The EV Infrastructure Grant for Staff and Fleets, meanwhile, which is also used to support necessary cabling work and electrical upgrades, has funded over 6,000 socket infrastructure units since 2016, totalling £8,337,032. Open to businesses with fewer than 250 employees, the Grant saw strong growth in its first full year, with socket infrastructure unit installations rising from 809 in 2022 to 1,909 in 2023. The WCS will continue to run until March 2027, though no further expansion is expected. From April 2026, the grant will cover up to £500 per socket, across a maximum of 40 sockets per applicant. Sarah Gray, head of ZEV strategy and development at Dawsongroup Vans, stated: “More fleet operators are now working backwards from their electrification commitments and realising that on-site charging needs to be part of that plan. The 2025 figures suggest that the process is accelerating, which is encouraging. But the WCS is now in its final confirmed year, and businesses that have not yet applied are running out of time to benefit. “The infrastructure grant asked businesses to think ahead, planning electrical capacity for charge points they might not install for another year or two. The businesses that moved quickly in 2023 were largely those that already had electrification on their roadmap. As that group reduced in size, so did the annual installation figures. “A business installing ten charge points under the current grant rate could recover up to £5,000 towards the cost. That is a sizable contribution, and it’s available now. The scheme has been extended several times, but it has a confirmed end date of March 2027 with no indication of a further extension. Businesses that delay risk missing out on financial assistance with their fleet electrification.” **Electric Car Grant one year on** Separately, the UK Government announced that in the year since its launch, the £2bn Electric Car Grant has helped more than 140,000 car owners switch to EVs, with March 2026 seeing the UK’s highest ever EV sales on record. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) also saw a record-high registration increase that month, up 24.2% year on year, with over 86,000 registrations during the month. This growth, the Government stated, is thanks to a reduction in the upfront costs for EVs, as well as an increased variety of available models that qualify for the Grant. There are now 58 types of EVs to choose from, from brands including Nissan, Ford and Skoda. The Government said it is continuing to support the transition with an investment of £7.5bn to grow the market, boost EV manufacturing and expand the UK’s charging network. An extra £600m was announced in 2025 to roll out more charging stations. Aviation, Maritime and Decarbonisation Minister Keir Mather stated: “In just one year, our Electric Car Grant has helped over 140,000 drivers save up to £3,750 on a new EV, and with nearly one in three cars sold now electric and sales up 35%, demand is stronger than ever and only going in one direction. “We’ve made it easier and cheaper than ever before to go electric, and with savings of up to £1,400 on running costs, there’s never been a better time to make the switch, especially against the backdrop of global fuel price fluctuations.” RAC’s head of Policy, Simon Williams, added: “The reintroduction of the Electric Car Grant is something we’d been calling for, so it’s great to see it making such a positive difference to EV sales in its first year. The high upfront cost of a new EV has long been the biggest obstacle in the way of wider adoption. With 58 models now qualifying for the discount, drivers have more choice than ever at varying price points. “And, of course, every new vehicle that comes onto the road will at some point feed through to the second-hand market, enabling those drivers who don’t buy new to go electric too.” --- #### Topics #### Tags [© Faversham House Ltd 2026 edie news articles may be copied or forwarded for individual use only.
