During the recorded period, March and May 2022 were the months when the largest Workplace Charging Scheme grants had been received in the United Kingdom.

Monthly Workplace Charging Scheme grants for electric vehicle charging socket installation in the United Kingdom between January 2020 and September 2024
The month refers to when Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) sockets were installed, not the date of payment.
The source specifies that: "Data is taken from a database held by the DVLA which records grant applications for administrative purposes. Grants can take several months to process and the most recent quarters are most likely to be undercounted, especially the second quarter of 2024. The statistics should therefore be treated as provisional."
