EV charger grants in Lanarkshire for 2026
There is no separate Lanarkshire grant: the OZEV chargepoint grants apply across the UK, and every one of them rose from £350 to £500 on 1 April 2026. Which one you can use depends on the property, and all of them run to 31 March 2027.

Workplace and fleet charging on Lanarkshire business parks
Lanarkshire has some of central Scotland’s largest business locations, from Eurocentral and Newhouse near Motherwell to Righead in Bellshill, Wardpark in Cumbernauld and the Scottish Enterprise Technology Park in East Kilbride. If your business is on an estate like these, the Workplace Charging Scheme decides who may use the chargers it funds: a business applicant must keep them for staff and fleet vehicles, while charities, public sector bodies and small accommodation businesses can let customers, guests and visitors charge. The staff-and-fleet infrastructure grant that some older guides still mention closed on 31 March 2026.
Commercial sites also need the connection sized properly. A bank of chargers can exceed what an existing supply allows, so we check capacity before recommending the number of sockets, and where solar is on the roof we look at matching charging to generation.
The grid in Lanarkshire: SP Energy Networks
All of North and South Lanarkshire sits in SP Energy Networks’ distribution area, which covers central and southern Scotland. Every charger we fit goes through the network operator’s process for your supply, and we handle that paperwork as part of the install, along with the smart-charging requirements of the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021.
Charging at home: what it costs to run
A 7 kW smart home charger typically costs £899–£1,299 installed. What you pay to charge depends on your tariff: Intelligent Octopus Go, for households with a compatible EV or charger, offers 8p/kWh from 23:30 to 05:30, and the whole home gets that rate during the window. If you have or plan solar, we can set the charger to use surplus generation first.
No off-street parking? The flat and on-street grants in the table above are the routes to home charging, and the ChargePlace Scotland public network is the fallback. For the rest of Scotland, see our EV charger installation page.

EV charging in Lanarkshire: questions
Can I get a grant for a home EV charger in Lanarkshire?
It depends on your home, not your council area — the OZEV grants apply across the UK. Flat owners and renters with private off-street parking can claim 75% of the cost, up to £500. Residential landlords can claim up to £500 per socket. Households with only on-street parking can claim up to £500 towards a cross-pavement solution. Homeowners in houses have not been eligible since April 2022.
I live in a flat in Motherwell or Hamilton with no driveway. Can I charge at home?
Possibly. If your flat has an allocated off-street space, the flat owners and renters grant can cover 75% of a charger, up to £500. If you only have on-street parking, a cross-pavement solution can be part-funded up to £500, but anything crossing the pavement needs your council’s permission. Otherwise the ChargePlace Scotland public network is the fallback.
Who is the network operator for EV chargers in Lanarkshire?
SP Energy Networks, which runs the distribution network across central and southern Scotland, including all of North and South Lanarkshire. We handle the network operator paperwork for your charger as part of the install.
Can my business get funding for chargers on a Lanarkshire business park?
Yes, through the Workplace Charging Scheme: up to £500 per socket, capped at 75% of costs, for up to 40 sockets across all your sites, until 31 March 2027. A business applicant must keep the chargers for staff and fleet vehicles; charities, public sector bodies and small accommodation businesses can let anyone charge. The site needs dedicated off-road parking.
