Energy Saving Trust Grants
Energy Saving Trust delivers energy and transport schemes on behalf of government, particularly the Scottish Government, rather than giving away money of its own. What it offers therefore changes with policy, and a scheme can combine a grant with an interest-free loan. Its programmes cover home energy efficiency, heat pumps and switching vehicles to electric.
Energy Saving Trust has 9 open funds listed here, none of them with a fixed deadline.

Electric van loan for businesses
Energy Saving Trust
The Energy Saving Trust offers interest-free loans to help businesses buy electric vans for commercial use. You can borrow money without paying any interest charges. The loan is designed to make electric vans more affordable for your business. You must use the van for commercial purposes, not personal use. The scheme is available to businesses across England. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, so there is no fixed deadline. You will need to repay the loan over an agreed period. This helps reduce your business transport costs and carbon emissions.
Factored development charge point funding
Energy Saving Trust
Energy Saving Trust offers property managers up to 50% towards the cost of installing EV charging infrastructure at communal residential parking areas. This supports the development of shared charging facilities in residential developments. Property managers can apply for this funding in England.
Cross-pavement charging grant
Energy Saving Trust
The Energy Saving Trust lists a cross-pavement charging grant on its grants and loans page. It describes the grant as funding to help you install cross-pavement charging solutions at home. This page is only a directory of Energy Saving Trust funds. It gives a one-line description of the grant and nothing more. It does not say how much you can get, who is eligible, whether the fund is open, or when it closes. Cross-pavement charging solutions are aimed at people who want to charge an electric vehicle at home. The listing is for home installations, so it is not a workplace or public charge point scheme. The same page lists other Energy Saving Trust schemes, including an electric vehicle pavement channels grant for local authorities in England. That is a separate fund. Make sure you are looking at the right one before you start an application. Because this page is a summary list, you will need the grant's own page on the Energy Saving Trust website for the full rules. Read those rules in full before you apply, so you know whether your home and situation qualify. Official source: https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/listing/grants-and-loans/.

Zero Emission Bus Market Transition Scheme
Energy Saving Trust
The Zero Emission Bus Market Transition Scheme helps bus operators in Scotland replace their fleet with zero emission alternatives. The scheme supports the transition to cleaner public transport options. Bus operators in Scotland can apply for this funding.
Electric vehicle pavement channels grant
Energy Saving Trust
The Electric vehicle pavement channels grant is a £25 million capital fund for local authorities in England. It pays for pavement channels for residents who do not have a driveway. The fund is aimed at councils, not individual households. If you work for a local authority in England and want to support residents without driveways, this fund is designed for you. Energy Saving Trust lists it as one of its grants and loans for energy and transport. This is capital funding. That means it goes towards the pavement channels themselves as physical infrastructure, rather than towards day-to-day running costs. One point to keep in mind: £25 million is the size of the whole fund. Treat it as the total pot, not the amount any single council can expect to receive. If you are a resident rather than a council, this fund is not aimed at you directly. Energy Saving Trust also lists a separate cross-pavement charging grant. That grant offers funding to help you install cross-pavement charging solutions at home. It is a different scheme with its own rules, so make sure you look at the right one for your situation. For councils, this fund offers a route to help residents without off-street parking. It focuses on one clear purpose: pavement channels for homes without driveways in England.
