Step by step
How to Claim the OZEV Grant
Check your eligibility
Confirm you meet the criteria: you must be a renter, flat owner, or landlord with an eligible electric vehicle and dedicated off-street parking. Homeowners of houses are not eligible.
Get a quote from an approved installer
You must use an OZEV-approved installer. They'll visit your property, assess the installation, and provide a quote. The installer handles all grant paperwork — you don't apply to OZEV yourself.
Accept the quote and provide your details
Once you accept, your installer submits your details to OZEV. You'll receive an email from OZEV with an online form for your property and vehicle details.
Wait for OZEV approval
OZEV reviews your application. Once approved, your installer has 90 days to complete the installation.
Installation and payment
Your installer completes the work and submits the claim to OZEV. The grant (up to £500) is deducted from your bill — you only pay the remaining balance.
Tailored advice
Grant Guide by Situation
For Renters
If you rent your home — whether it's a flat, house, or any other property type — you can claim the £500 grant. You'll need written permission from your landlord before installation.
The charger stays with the property when you move out. Some renters negotiate with their landlord to split the remaining cost, since the charger adds value to the property.
Your landlord doesn't need to pay anything or be involved beyond giving consent. If your landlord wants to claim the grant themselves, there's a separate landlord grant available.
For Flat Owners
Flat owners (leasehold or share of freehold) are eligible. You'll need freeholder or management company consent and a dedicated off-street parking space.
Flats often require longer cable runs, which increases installation costs. The good news: higher costs mean you're more likely to receive the full £500 grant.
If the cable passes through communal areas, you may need additional consents. Your OZEV-approved installer can advise.
For Landlords
Landlords can claim up to £500 per chargepoint socket, plus up to £30,000 for supporting infrastructure (electrical upgrades, groundwork, etc.).
Installing EV chargers adds value to your rental property and makes it more attractive to the growing number of EV drivers. The grant significantly reduces the upfront cost.
Your OZEV-approved installer handles the entire application process on your behalf.
Tips for Maximising Your Grant
Get multiple quotes
OZEV-approved installers vary significantly in their installation charges. Compare at least 2–3 quotes.
Check energy company incentives
Some providers like Octopus Energy and British Gas offer additional cashback or charger discounts.
Consider total cost of ownership
A slightly pricier charger with smart tariff integration can save hundreds per year on electricity.
No rush — you have until March 2027
The £500 grant runs until 31 March 2027. Take time to compare options and get the best deal.
