The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) offers 2 grants for landlords installing charge points for electric vehicles:
- an EV chargepoint grant
- and EV infrrastructure grant
EV Chargepoint grant
An EV chargepint grant gives you money off the cost of installing an electric vehicle charge point socket. You can get either £350 or 75% off the cost to buy and install a socket, which ever amount is lower.
Each financial year, you can get up to 200 grants for residential properties.
EV Infrastructure grant
An EV infrastructure grant gives you money off the cost of wider building and installation work that's needed to install multiple chargepoint sockets.
The work can be for sockets you want to install now and in the future. For example, an EV infrastructure grant can cover things like wiring and posts.
You can get up to £30,000 or 75% off the cost of the work. The amount depends on how many parking spaces the work covers.
You can get up to 30 infrastructure grants each financial year.
