How do I qualify for the OZEV Grant?

How do I qualify for the OZEV Grant?

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.

Which vehicles are eligible for the OZEV Grant?

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.

How do I claim the OZEV Grant?

How do I claim the OZEV Grant?

Please note: you can only claim the grant before the installation of your home charger.

If you live in a rented house with dedicated off-street parking, all you have to do is answer a few simple questions and complete some documents with us while ordering your Solo charger.

Our team will then do the heavy lifting and claim the grant on your behalf.

If you live in a flat we need to assess whether you can have a charger connected to your flat’s electrical supply and meter, as you may be able to use the same checkout as those renting a house. However, for most people living in flats your charging unit will be connected to a communal supply and meter, in which case we request that you ask your property manager to get in touch with us about our Residential EV Charging Solution.

Please note, your landlord or property manager may also be able to claim an up to 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. This grant will reduce the impact on your Service Charge budget and may help to convince your neighbours that EV infrastructure is a priority for your property.
