The Government is working with fleets and industry bodies to understand the diverse charging requirements of fleets, including those used by the logistics and warehousing sector.

Through its Workplace Charging Scheme, the Government offers support to small and medium sized business for the installation of chargepoints, with grants of up to £350 per socket. As of 1 July 2023, 46,172 workplace installations have benefited from this scheme.

The Government is also working with industry stakeholders to develop a zero emission HGV and coach infrastructure strategy for publication in 2024. The strategy will set strategic direction and outline the roles and responsibilities of government and industry to deliver the refuelling and recharging infrastructure required to meet the end of sale dates for new non-zero emission HGVs.
