- Have a private, off-street parking space you own or have a legal right to use, accessible at all times

Live in a flat or rent your property? Save up to £500 with OZEV funding
If you rent your home or own a flat, you could save money on the cost of an EV chargepoint through OZEV funding.
The EV Chargepoint Grant for Renters and Flat Owners covers 75% of the cost of buying and installing a home chargepoint, up to £500 per socket. The grant is paid straight to your OZEV-approved installer and deducted from your invoice — you never handle the money yourself.
You won't be eligible if you
- Own a standalone house (unless it’s been converted into flats and you occupy just one)
- Rent a room where your landlord also lives
- Are moving or planning to move
- Have already claimed this grant, EVHS, or the Domestic Recharge Scheme at this address
- Live somewhere a chargepoint is legally required (e.g. a new build)
- Live in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man
All you need to do is meet these criteria
- Own or manage residential rental property — a single let flat, a block of flats, or shared communal parking/spaces
- Provide a private, off-street parking space accessible to the tenant at all times
- Have a company registration or VAT number (individuals, RTM/RMC companies, freeholders, management companies, social housing providers, and public sector landlords all qualify)
- Not be installing the chargepoint because it’s a mandatory requirement (e.g. a new-build planning condition)
Are you a residential landlord? Save up to £500 per socket with OZEV funding
The EV Chargepoint Grant for Residential Landlords has been extended and remains open to new applications. Landlords can claim 75% of the cost of buying and installing an EV chargepoint, up to £500 per socket for up to 200 sockets per year across their properties. The grant is paid directly to the OZEV-approved installer and deducted from the landlord’s invoice.
You won't be eligible if you
- You live in the property.
- You only rent the property out as a holiday rental.
- You do not have a company registration number or a VAT registration number.
- You are installing a chargepoint because of a mandatory requirement (for example, a planning condition or new build obligation).
- The property is in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man.
- The property is under construction — the grant is only for existing properties.
All you need to do is meet these criteria
- Be a business, charity, public sector organisation, or small accommodation business in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
- Have dedicated off-street parking, clearly associated with your premises and designated for staff or fleet use
- Own the site or have written landlord consent to install chargepoints
- Provide a company registration number, VAT number, or business rates bill (or equivalent evidence for charities, NHS surgeries and schools)
- Not be installing chargepoints as a mandatory requirement (e.g. under Part S regulations or a planning condition)
Are you a business, charity, or public sector organisation? Save up to £20,000 with OZEV funding
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based grant from OZEV and DVLA that covers 75% of the cost of buying and installing EV chargepoints (including VAT), up to £500 per socket, for up to 40 sockets per applicant — a maximum of £20,000. The grant is issued as a voucher and deducted from your final invoice by your OZEV-authorised installer, who must not charge you until the grant has been paid.
Sites that are not eligible
- Locations outside England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (Channel Islands and Isle of Man are excluded).
- Parking not designated to you.
- Parking facilities solely for customer use.
- Parking facilities that have not yet been built.
- Parking that is part of a domestic property and is not your primary place of work.
- Sites that have previously claimed under this scheme, the Electric Vehicles Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) or the Domestic Recharging Scheme for the same address.
- Installations that were a mandatory requirement — for example, under Part S Regulations for non-residential buildings with more than 10 car parking spaces, planning conditions, or equivalent devolved regulations.
