If you own a flat or rent your home and have private off-street parking, the EV chargepoint grant covers 75% of the cost, up to £500 of buying and installing a chargepoint. Landlords can claim it per socket. Homeowners living in a house can't claim it.
Only OZEV-authorised installers can claim the chargepoint grant on your behalf, so use one if you want the grant.
4 of these installers are also MCS-certified, so they can fit solar panels or batteries alongside a charger.
