Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Households with On-Street Parking

The Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Households with On-Street Parking provides electric vehicle (EV) drivers with financial support towards the costs of the purchase and installation of EV chargepoints at residential properties when also installing a cross-pavement charging solution (e.g. a cable channel). The grant covers 75% off the cost to buy and install a socket, up to a maximum of £350. This grant is designed for residents who do not have private and exclusive access to off-street parking such as a driveway, garage or residential car park, but have adequate on-street parking available. Applicants must obtain permission from their local highways authority for the installation of the cross-pavement charging solution and declare that they will obtain planning permissions as required by their local planning authority. The cross-pavement solution must not be a temporary solution, such as cable covers or mats which can be placed on top of a cable. The grant cannot be backdated, so the chargepoint must not already be installed at the time of application. The scheme aims to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicle chargepoints for users with accessible on-street parking. Applicants must own or rent a residential property in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland, and own or be responsible for an eligible vehicle from the OZEV-approved electric vehicles list. Installation must be completed by an OZEV approved installer using grant-eligible chargepoint models. The grant is paid directly to the installer, who deducts the grant amount from the customer's invoice.
