Electric vehicle chargepoint grant for renters or flat owners
Apply for an EV chargepoint grant
Before you apply, check that:
- your vehicle is on the list of electric vehicles approved by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV)
- the chargepoint is on the list of eligible chargepoint models
How to apply
-
Contact an OZEV-authorised installer to get a quote for the work.
-
Get all the relevant documents and permissions for the installation of your chargepoint.
-
Complete the online application.
Documents you’ll need
As part of your application you’ll need to submit:
- a dated quote from your installer
- written permission from your landlord, freeholder or property manager to install the chargepoint
- written permission from your local authority to install the chargepoint if you live in a listed building
- a utility bill showing your name and the address where your chargepoint will be installed
- a copy of your tenancy agreement if you’re renting
After you’ve applied
Once OZEV has approved your application, they’ll let you and your installer know. Your installer can then start the work.
Claiming the grant
Your installer will claim the grant on your behalf when they finish the installation. OZEV will email you to confirm whether their claim is correct.
If OZEV approves the claim, the grant will be paid directly to your installer.
Audits
OZEV may audit your application before it’s approved. They may also audit your installation to check that it meets the grant requirements.
They may arrange for a site visit. If you do not allow this or do not respond to their questions, they may cancel your application.
If you need help
If you have any questions about the scheme, you can speak to your installer or contact the Government Grant Managed Service.
