If you live in a flat or a rented property and are thinking about getting an EV charger installed at home, you may be eligible for a government grant that covers a significant portion of the cost.
The Flats and Renters Grant, administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), is specifically designed for people in this situation and can reduce the upfront cost of installation to as little as nothing in some cases.
The Flats and Renters Grant is a government-backed scheme that funds up to £500 per charging socket towards the cost of purchasing and installing an EV charge point at your home. It is available to flat owners, shared ownership residents and people renting a residential property in the UK.
The grant is part of the wider OZEV grant programme, which is currently in its final year. The scheme closes on 31 March 2027, and there is currently no confirmed government funding beyond that date, so if you are considering an installation, acting sooner rather than later is advisable.
To be eligible for the EV Chargepoint Grant, your installation must be carried out by an OZEV-approved chargepoint installer such as EV Installed, as well as meeting the following criteria:
You own and live in a flat (including flats bought through the shared ownership scheme), or you rent a residential property
Your property is in the UK
You own an eligible vehicle
This grant is for domestic properties only
The grant is only for existing properties; it cannot be used for new-builds
The parking must be suitable for a chargepoint installation
