OZEV EV chargepoint grant
The electric vehicle homecharge scheme (EVHS) has been replaced with the EV chargepoint grant which is open to people who live in rental accommodation, or who own a flat. This government grant for EV chargepoints saves you up to £350 per chargepoint installed. To take advantage of this grant you will need landlord permission and your landlord will need to apply for the grant.
Below we breakdown the OZEV EV chargepoint grant for renters and flat owners. To find out more about the other OZEV grants available, click below:
What is the OZEV EV chargepoint grant?
The government OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) scheme provides funding towards the cost of installing electric vehicle charge points. This initiative seeks to increase the number of available charge points and in turn the wider use of electric and hybrid vehicles in the UK.
OZEV covers a number of aspects from the EV Charge point Grant, Workplace Charging Scheme, EV Infrastructure Grant, On-Street Residential Charge point Scheme and the Ultra-Low Emissions Taxi Infrastructure Scheme.
Am I eligible for the OZEV EV chargepoint grant?
If you own (including leasehold) a flat or apartment or live in rental accommodation, you will need to meet the below criteria to be eligible for the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant:
- EV charger installed by an OZEV approved contractor.
- OZEV approved chargepoint installed.
- Have dedicated off street parking that is solely yours.
- Own, lease or have ordered a qualifying vehicle.
- Only one application per person.
- Obtained landlord permission.
Does my Vehicle Qualify for OZEV Grants?
Most plug-in vehicles qualify for the OZEV grant. However, plug-in hybrid vehicles are only eligible for the grant when calculated at 50g/km. Follow the government’s list of Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme eligible vehicles for more information.
How do i claim the grant?
Apartment owners and people living in rental accommodation, will need to seek landlord permission. We can then help your landlord to claim the grant and deduct the grant from your home charger installation.
