Government Grants and Schemes for Electric Vans

0% Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) Rate 

Electric vans continue to benefit from a 0% Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate until the end of 2025, helping both employers and employees save on tax and National Insurance. This is a big incentive for fleet managers and company vehicle users alike. 

1. Plug-In Van Grant (PIVG)

The Plug-In Van Grant is still available in 2025. It covers up to 35% of the cost of an electric van, with a maximum grant of £5,000 per vehicle. 
To qualify, the van must: 

  • Emit less than 50g/km of CO₂ 
  • Have a zero-emission range of at least 60 miles 

2. Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS)

You can claim:

Ideal for companies looking to support multiple vehicles or future growth.
