EV Funding Options
The Council does not provide funding for installations of electric vehicle chargers to community groups or private individuals. We can't accommodate the individual needs of EV owners therefore we try and ensure a good geographic coverage of charge points.
You may find it helpful to visit the following sites as grants are available for electric vehicle users to receive funding from to install a home charger for their plug-in vehicle.
- Office for Low Emissions Vehicles - Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme
- Energy Saving Trust Scotland is an independent organisation who provide information for electric vehicle users and possible funding streams

Powering Communities to Net Zero fund - SSEN- Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks is now welcoming applications to its new Powering Communities to Net Zero (PCNZ) fund. This new fund will run annually from now, concluding in Spring 2028 and will seek to award more than £3 million during this time.
The fund is split into two categories; community-led physical and environmental resilience, and low carbon technology (LCT). The community-led physical and environmental resilience grant will enable communities to apply for grants that will bolster physical and environmental resilience measures. The low-carbon technology grant is for non-profit organisations to apply for to go towards the purchase of new low carbon technology. For example, a social housing scheme or community centre seeking contribution to the cost of EV chargers, solar panels or battery storage.
