In the context of home charging, the “OZEV Grant” refers to a government grant for electric car home chargers, provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).
The OZEV EV chargepoint grant provides up to £500 off the cost of purchasing and installing a home charging point.
You can only claim one chargepoint per eligible vehicle and household.
The grant is available for people who live in a rented property or own a flat with dedicated off-street parking.
You'll need to apply for the grant directly with OZEV yourself. We'll give you everything you need to do it, and send your discount code once you're approved.
Your landlord or property manager may also be able to claim up to an additional £500 per bay (up to 60 bays) towards the cost of installing infrastructure for you and your neighbours via the EV infrastructure grant for residential car parks.
OZEV also offers grants for businesses to reduce the cost of installing EV infrastructure for staff and fleet parking.
Note: As of 31st March, the previous OZEV Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) is no longer available to claim.
The grant is available for:
Homeowners who live in flats.
People living in rental accommodation (flats and single-use properties).
To be eligible for the grant, you must:
Live in a rented property or own a flat.
Have dedicated off-street parking.
Own, lease or have use of an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle eligible for the grant.
Not have already claimed the grant (either the EV chargepoint grant or the previous EVHS grant) for your EV.
Additionally, please note that you can no longer claim for 2 chargepoints if you own a second EV.
See full qualifying criteria, including vehicle and property requirements, on the government website.
Not all plug-in vehicles are eligible for the grant. All full battery electric vehicles are eligible, but plug-in hybrid vehicles must have CO2 emissions that are calculated to be under 50g/km.
See a list of OZEV eligible vehicles on the government website.
Please note: you must apply for the grant, and get approved, before your charger is installed. The grant can't be claimed once your Pod Point charger is in.
Here's how it works.
1. Get your personalised quote from us
Before you start your application, call us on 020 7247 4114 or chat to us using our live chat to request your personalised quote PDF. You'll need this to apply, so get in touch first and we'll send it straight over.

3. Apply directly with OZEV
Head to the government's application form and complete your application using your documents above. It takes around 15 to 20 minutes. When it asks for installer details, use ours:
OZEV can take 20 or more working days to assess applications, and we're not able to check the status of your application for you. So sit tight, and we'll be ready to help as soon as you hear back.
4. Tell us once you're approved
As soon as OZEV approves your grant, call us on 020 7247 4114 with your unique reference number. We'll send your £500 discount code straight away so you can put it towards your Pod Point charger.
Don't order your charger until you've got your discount code. If you've already placed an order, hold off on installation until your grant comes through. Once your charger's installed, the grant can't be applied retrospectively.
Tip: Anyone renting, leasing or managing a residential or commercial property can now claim the EV chargepoint grant for landlords. This grant provides up to 75% of the cost towards the purchase and installation of a chargepoint socket, limited to £350 per grant.
Yes, OZEV Grants are still available to eligible homeowners who live in flats and certain people living in rental housing. Some businesses and landlords/property managers looking to install EV infrastructure may also be eligible.
There is currently no known date for grant schemes offered by OZEV to end. For up-to-date information on each scheme, visit OZEV’s grant schemes overview.
Tip: Save around £1,000 a year in fuel costs with a home charging point (instead of relying on public charging facilities).
