EV charging funding in Milton Keynes
Four stacking funding mechanisms apply to most Milton Keynes commercial EV charging projects in 2026.
Up to £14,000 per business
The WCS covers up to £350 per socket on up to 40 sockets — up to £14,000 per Milton Keynes business site. Available to businesses, charities and public sector employers. The grant applies to both AC and DC chargers installed by OZEV-approved installers. Apply via DVSA portal before installation.
Up to 75% of installation costs
The Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant (EVIG) covers up to 75% of the cost of installing EV charge points at fleet depots, up to £15,000 per site. Ideal for Milton Keynes logistics, distribution and commercial fleet operators with dedicated parking areas and multiple vehicles to charge overnight.
100% first-year CT relief on hardware
EV charging infrastructure (charge points, cabling, groundworks) qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance — 100% deducted from corporation tax in Year 1. For a £80,000 depot charging installation, that's a £20,000 tax saving at 25% corporation tax. Applies to the full installed cost above any OZEV grant received.
Free daytime EV charging
Pairing rooftop solar with EV charging on your Milton Keynes site delivers near-zero marginal cost charging during daylight hours. Smart EV charge controllers (Ohme, Indra, MyEnergi) shift charging to solar peak periods automatically. Combined solar + EV qualifies for 0% VAT on both assets simultaneously.

Funding by asset class
The allowance depends on the asset, and most pages on this topic get it the wrong way round. Solar PV is special-rate expenditure (HMRC Capital Allowances Manual CA22335), so the 100% year-one route is the Annual Investment Allowance — Full Expensing is a main-rate measure and does not reach it. Battery storage, EV charging and heat pumps are main-rate plant, so Full Expensing genuinely does apply to those.
- commercial heat pump costs and payback
Main-rate plant, so Full Expensing does apply here.
- financing commercial battery storage
Main-rate plant. Stacks with solar for self-consumption.
- commercial solar pricing by system size
Capex bands per kWp before any relief.
- solar for industrial units and warehouses
Large roofs, high daytime load — the strongest case.
- how AIA works on commercial solar capex
Solar is special-rate, so AIA is the 100% year-one route.
Find out which 2026 schemes your site actually qualifies for
- 1. A short written funding note naming every scheme your site qualifies for in 2026 — and the ones it does not.
- 2. Indicative system size and a capex band for your roof.
- 3. Year-one tax treatment per asset in £ — solar is special-rate expenditure, so the route is the Annual Investment Allowance; battery storage and heat pumps are main-rate plant, where Full Expensing does apply. Most pages get this the wrong way round.
- 4. Projected SEG export revenue at current rates.
- 5. Any red-flag eligibility or DNO issues we can see up front.
Covers solar PV, battery storage, EV charging and commercial heat pumps — separately or as one bundled project. If your project is a heat pump or a battery rather than a roof, say so in the message box and the note is written against that asset instead.
