The UK government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) offers a grant of up to £350 (including VAT) for the installation of home electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints.
The EV Chargepoint grant provides funding of up to 75% towards the cost of installing an electric vehicle smart chargepoint for UK domestic properties. This grant replaced the previous Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) on the 1st of April 2022.
The EV Chargepoint grant no longer provides a grant for what the government calls ‘single unit properties’. This means that if you own a house with a drive and want to get a grant for installing a chargepoint this grant won’t help (that was what the EVHS one was for – which has now been discontinued).
Who can apply for this grant?
This grant covers the sort of next phase of take-up of electric vehicle chargepoint installations. These are:
- Flat owner-occupiers
- People living in rented properties (both flats and single-use properties
- Landlords of rental and leasehold properties (both residential and commercial)
How many chargepoints can I apply for?
Unlike the previous EVHS grant, if the owner/occupier has 2 vehicles they are unable to claim for 2 chargepoints (so limited to 1 chargepoint only).
How do I apply for the grant?
You, as the owner/occupier don’t apply for the grant directly. You go through an EVHS authorised installer, who will apply for you and are the only ones eligible to claim under this scheme. They will perform the necessary checks to see if you qualify, and will then apply for the grant one your behalf.
How do I receive the money for the grant?
The simple answer is that you don’t. The grant amount awarded is removed from the bill provided by the installer. The grant amount will be paid to the installer.
What limitations or restriction are there for the grant?
You can’t claim for the grant if you’ve already claimed under this grant scheme (EV Chargepoint grant), or a previous scheme (EVHS grant).
Your vehicle must be listed on the eligible vehicles list at the time of installation (see below).
