Apply for an EV chargepoint grant

Before you apply, check that:

How to apply

  1. Contact an OZEV-authorised installer to get a quote for the work.

  2. Ask the installer to start your claim.

  3. You’ll get an email with a link to an eligibility check - complete it online.

  4. The installer will apply for the grant on your behalf if you’re eligible.

After your installer has applied

Once OZEV has approved your application, they’ll let your installer know that they can start the work.

Your installer must either complete the work within 90 days of your application being approved, or request an extension. If they do not, ask the installer to submit a new application.

Claiming the grant

When your installer finishes the installation, they will claim the grant on your behalf.

Your invoice will show the total installation cost minus the grant amount. They’ll give details of your chargepoint to OZEV, along with photographs of the installation and an invoice.

Chargepoint audits

In some cases, OZEV may choose to audit your installation to check it meets the grant requirements. If they do, OZEV will arrange for auditors to contact you for a site visit. If you do not allow a site visit, your installation may be stopped.

Contact OZEV

If you have any questions about the scheme you can contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
