UK Boosts EV Charging Grants, Eases Planning Rules
from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
The UK government is simplifying electric vehicle charging for those without driveways. Theyve increased the home charger grant to £500, covering half the install cost, and now include flat owners, renters, and landlords. Planning rule changes aim to reduce red tape for street-side charging. As of January 2026, 39 on-street chargers were funded, but demand is rising. A consultation on easing permitted development rights for pavement charging ended in early 2026, with a response expected soon. These updates aim to make the green shift more accessible.
