OZEV chargepoint grant · 2026
The grant can cover up to £500. First, check whether you qualify.
Eligibility depends on you, your property, and the charger. Since April 2026 you apply on GOV.UK yourself before the install. The grant is then taken off your installer's invoice.

The main factor in OZEV grant eligibility.
Eligibility
Who Can Claim the OZEV Grant?
- •A renter (any property type) with landlord permission
- •A flat owner (leasehold or share of freehold)
- •A landlord installing for tenants
- •A house owner or renter with only on-street parking (on-street parking grant)
- •A business providing workplace charging (Workplace Charging Scheme, separate voucher process)
- •Own a house with a driveway or garage (or other private off-street parking)
- •Don't have off-street parking, for the flats-and-renters grant. Households with on-street parking can apply for the on-street parking (cross-pavement) grant instead, which needs consent from your local highways authority, a non-temporary cable channel across the pavement and a declaration about planning permission.
- •Don't own an eligible EV
The flats-and-renters route requires private off-street parking, an authorised installer and an eligible charger model. Households relying on on-street parking use a separate grant route. You apply yourself on the government's Find a grant service before the install, not through your installer. Start from the GOV.UK household grant page.
Savings
How Much Will You Save?
The grant covers 75% of the total cost (charger + installation), capped at £500. The breakpoint is £667 — any installation costing £667 or more qualifies for the full £500. Since most installations cost £800–1,200, the majority of eligible claimants receive the full amount.
| Total Cost | 75% of Cost | Grant You Receive | You Pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| £600 | £450 | £450 | £150 |
| £667 | £500 | £500 | £167 |
| £800 | £600 | £500 | £300 |
| £1,000 | £750 | £500 | £500 |
| £1,200 | £900 | £500 | £700 |
What changed in April 2026?
The grant increased from £350 to £500 on 1 April 2026, and was extended until 31 March 2027. The 75% rule threshold moved from £467 to £667. Eligibility criteria stayed the same, but the application route changed: you now apply yourself on the Find a grant service and wait for OZEV's email before the install, instead of the installer applying for you.

Not OZEV-Approved
Step by step
How to Claim the OZEV Grant
Check your eligibility
For the flats-and-renters grant you must be a renter or a flat owner with private off-street parking and an eligible electric vehicle. If you own a house with a driveway or garage, no grant applies. House owners and renters who rely on on-street parking can use the on-street parking grant instead, and landlords have their own scheme.
Get a quote from an authorised installer for an eligible charger
Pick an installer from the GOV.UK register of authorised installers and a charger on the authorised model list. Ask for an itemised quote. You will upload it with your application, so get the quote before you apply.
Apply on Find a grant yourself
Register on the government's Find a grant service and complete the application. Renters upload a tenancy agreement, a utility bill dated within the last three months and the installer's quote. Flat owners upload a utility bill dated within the last three months and the installer's quote. Your installer does not apply for you.
Wait for OZEV's email before you book the install
OZEV's estimate for the initial decision is up to 10 working days. If you are eligible, OZEV emails you and your installer. Do not have the charger installed before that email arrives, or the grant cannot be paid. There is no portal or status page to check, so keep an eye on your inbox.
Installer fits the charger and claims the grant
Your installer completes the work, then uses the link in OZEV's email to fill in a digital claim form with the chargepoint details, four photos and an invoice that shows the cost minus the grant.
Pay the invoice minus the grant
The grant (75% of the total cost, up to £500) is paid to the installer, not to you. You pay only the remaining balance shown on the invoice.
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.
You apply yourself on the renters and flat owners grant page, uploading a tenancy agreement, a utility bill dated within the last three months and the installer's quote. Wait for OZEV's email before the installer books the work.
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-authorised installer can advise.
You apply yourself on the renters and flat owners grant page, uploading a utility bill dated within the last three months and the installer's quote, then wait for OZEV's email before the install goes ahead.
For Landlords
Residential landlords can currently apply for up to £500 per eligible chargepoint socket, subject to the scheme limits and property rules. The former residential-landlord infrastructure grant closed to new applications on 31 March 2026.
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.
Apply on the landlord chargepoint grant page on Find a grant. You need to be registered with Companies House or for VAT, and you should confirm the authorised installer and eligible charger before committing to work. As with the household grant, wait for OZEV's decision before the install.
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.
Allow time for OZEV's decision
The £500 grant runs until 31 March 2027, but the decision on your application can take up to 10 working days and the install cannot start until it arrives. Apply as soon as you have your quote.
