THE NEW OZEV GRANT FUNDING EXPLAINED.

The UK aims to become a ‘net-zero’ nation by 2050 and OZEV (Office for Zero-Emission Vehicles) is providing electric vehicle drivers, landlords, apartment block owners & businesses with grant funding towards the purchase and installation costs of EV charging points.

Electrification is happening and it is happening now!

OZEV is enabling drivers and businesses to benefit from significant cost savings when purchasing and installing charging points to support the accelerating growth of electric vehicle ownership.

These grant funding incentives are implemented to encourage drivers and businesses to make the transition to cleaner and greener modes of transport to reduce emissions for a better and healthier environment.

Grant funding for home charging point installations:

The EVHS (Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme) now targets rental residents and landlords, enabling them to save on charge point purchase and installation costs.


Rental property residents are eligible for £350 grant funding towards their charging point purchase and installation.

Residents must have off-street parking and an eligible EV/PHEV to qualify for the grant.


Landlords and housing associations can benefit from £350 per charging socket (units with two sockets will be eligible for £700).

Landlords and housing associations can submit a maximum of 200 grant funding applications per year. There are no limits on the number of charging sockets per property; however, they must be installed across private parking spaces.


Apartment block owners can take advantage of £30,000 grant funding per apartment block; this will be limited to 30 grant applications per year.

The grant funding will be capped at £500 per parking bay to wire them for future charging infrastructure or £850 per parking bay for a working electric vehicle charging point.

Apartment blocks must have five electric vehicle charging bays per one installed charging point.

The parking spaces where the charging points are located must be reserved for future commercial tenants, fleet drivers and employees that drive an electric vehicle.
