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. The installer claims the grant, so the reduction appears on your quote.

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.

Not OZEV-Approved
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
Choose a charger model and installer shown as approved for the relevant scheme, then obtain an itemised quote. Verify both against the current OZEV lists before applying.
Apply through the current OZEV service
Use the customer application route linked from GOV.UK and provide the requested property, vehicle, parking, charger, installer and quote details. Do not rely on an old application guide or portal bookmark.
Wait for OZEV approval
OZEV reviews the application. Follow the approval notice and scheme terms for when work may start and the deadline for completion; do not assume a generic timetable.
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
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.
Use the current landlord application route on GOV.UK and confirm the approved installer and charger before committing to work.
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.
