If you’re interested in purchasing an electric car or already have one and are looking to charge in the comfort of your own home, you should get a home charging point. Home chargers are easy-to-use, convenient and one of the cheapest ways to charge your electric car.
Home chargers are best used for an extended period as they are usually rather slow and charge at speeds of around 3 - 7 kWh. These chargers will take hours to fill up your EV, but their convenience more than makes up for it.
Home charging station prices range between roughly £740 - £900, although the exact price depends on what home charging point you purchase. If you’re ready to dismiss the idea of buying one due to these prices, you might still be able to afford one, as there are grants provided by OZEV and EST that might help you.
You can save up to £350 off a home charging station and its installation with the EV chargepoint grant, which is provided by OZEV, the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles.
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles was previously known as the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV); however, it was renamed in January 2021. With the ban on sales of fossil fuel vehicles starting in 2030, OZEV was renamed to be more in line with the government’s net-zero plans.
OZEV is part of the Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and is responsible for zero-emission vehicles and helping facilitate a switch from petrol or diesel cars to EVs.
There have been various OZEV/OLEV grants since 2010. The first grants helped drivers save up to £1,000. However, this original grant has more than halved in the following decade, and drivers can now get only up to £350 with OZEV’s grants.
OZEV has many active grants, but the one most applicable for regular EV drivers is the EV chargepoint grant.
The EV chargepoint grant replaces the EVHS grant as the main OZEV grant that drivers can apply for. It gives drivers up to £350 off the cost of purchasing and installing a home charging point. The EV chargepoint grant only allows you to claim once per eligible vehicle and household.
The EV chargepoint grant is not available for all EV drivers. To determine if you qualify, see if you fit the eligibility guidelines below.
The OZEV grant is open for people living in flats or rental accommodations. You must have dedicated off-street parking where a charging point could be installed.
You must own, lease or use an electric car or a plug-in hybrid which is eligible for the grant. To get the grant, you must not have previously claimed the grant or a previous OZEV grant, such as the EVHS grant.
All fully-electric vehicles are eligible for this grant. It doesn’t matter if you own a Nissan Leaf or a Jaguar I-Pace; you can apply for the EV chargepoint grant.
However, plug-in hybrids are not all eligible. A plug-in hybrid must have CO2 emissions below 50 g/km to qualify for the grant.
You can find a list of eligible vehicles for the EV chargepoint grant on the government’s website; if you’re unsure of your EV’s eligibility, check their list.
You don’t personally apply for the EV chargepoint grant. Instead, you contact an authorised charging point provider, and they will apply for you.
To send off an application, they must first ensure you meet the eligibility requirements so they will gather evidence on if you meet the criteria.
Evidence gathering will include them asking about where you live, your dedicated off-street parking and what sort of EV you own. Once they’ve gathered all the necessary information, they will send a completed application to the government.
A charging point provider doesn’t approve or refuse the grant claim; OZEV does.
Each claim takes different lengths of time, although it generally takes up to three months for the government to approve or reject it.
That doesn’t mean you must wait three months before installing. If convinced you’ll meet OZEV’s eligibility requirements, many installers will deduct the grant from the costs upfront before the application has been approved.
They will install the chargepoint once you’ve paid the fee minus the grant. They do this to help you start charging as quickly as possible because they are convinced you will pass the requirements.
Not all installers will do this, so ask the installer you’re using if they wait for the grant to be approved before proceeding with the installation.
If there are issues with the evidence gathered or additional information is required, installers may contact you after installation to gather the necessary details.
If your grant is rejected for whatever reason, you will need to pay your installer the full price of the installation and charging point, even if the charger is already installed.
To claim the OZEV EV chargepoint grant, you must use an installer approved by OZEV who can submit your claim and assess your eligibility.
You can find a list of authorised charging point installers on the government’s website.
No. Although, if you’re eligible, you will miss out on saving up to £350. Tell the installation provider that you don’t want the grant, and they won’t need to fill out the necessary information or gather any evidence.
This might make installation quicker, but it will mean you have to pay the full cost of the charging point’s installation.
The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) has been providing grants since 2010. They have grants that cover many different areas, from grants for businesses, grants for landlords and grants for local authorities.
A landlord or property manager can claim up to £500 per charging bay for up to 60 bays, which can go towards charging infrastructure for tenants via the EV infrastructure grant for residential car parks.
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based scheme that provides businesses with funds towards the up-front costs of purchasing and installing EV charging points on their premises.
Businesses, charities and public sector organisations can apply for WCS. The scheme covers 75% of the purchase and installation of an EV chargepoint cost – or around £350 per socket.
If your organisation is eligible for WCS, you can apply for up to 40 sockets across all your sites. So, if you have 40 different business premises and want to install a charging point at each one, you can only have one charging point at each site.
The On-Street Residential chargepoint scheme allows local authorities to apply for funding to help get charging infrastructure in their local areas. They can apply for funds to be used to purchase and install on-street charging points for residential use.
Before the EV chargepoint grant became available in 2022, OZEV provided the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) grant. You are unable to make new applications for the EVHS grant as of March 2022, although they are still taking resubmissions until March 31st, 2023.
When you search for the OZEV grants, you might find articles referring to the EVHS grant, which you can’t apply for. It’s the active OZEV EV chargepoint grant that is open to applicants.
The EVHS grant was easier to apply for than the EV chargepoint grant, and it was not just available for people who lived in flats or rental accommodations. Instead, the main requirement of the EVHS grant was that applicants owned, leased or had ordered a qualifying vehicle that met OZEV’s CO2 emission guidelines and that there was dedicated off-street parking at which a charging point could be installed.
The grant provided a 75% contribution towards the cost of one chargepoint with a grant cap of £350 (including VAT) per installation. Applicants could apply for two charging points on the same property if they had two qualifying vehicles.
The OZEV grant is not the only one that UK drivers can obtain to help them with the costs of charging point installation. Through the Energy Saving Trust (EST), the Scottish government provides eligible Scottish residents with a grant of up to £300, which can be used alongside the OZEV grant if you’re eligible for both.
The EST grant is available for applicants who live in rural and remote areas or who have purchased a used EV through EST’s used electric vehicle loan scheme.
Home charging is a great way to charge your car. It’s affordable, convenient and good for your battery lifespan. If you are eligible for an OZEV grant, you should apply for one if you have the space and finances. If you don’t have a home charging station, the only way to charge at home is with a domestic adapter, which is very slow.
Otherwise, your workplace might have charging points at similar speeds and prices to those you can get at home. If neither option is available, you can always rely on public charging networks, which provide access to all sorts of speeds.
Public charging stations are the only places that provide rapid charging, although they are generally more expensive than home or work charging.
However, public charging can be affordable if you use Bonnet, our app, which allows EV drivers to connect with thousands of charging points and cut down their charging bills.
We’ve partnered with 17+ of the best public charging networks in the UK and abroad to provide our customers with a range of charging options to suit their every requirement.
Our partners have on-street slow chargers for those who want to charge overnight and ultra-rapid chargers for those who want to fill up their electric car’s battery in minutes.
When you charge at public charging stations in the UK, each network usually requires you to download an app before they let you charge at their charging points. Doing so can clutter your phone and drain your battery. You don’t need countless apps to charge at the best charging stations. You just need Bonnet.
To help our customers save money, we offer a membership option called Bonnet Boosts. Bonnet Boosts helps you save up to 15% off all your charging within our partners’ networks. We have two membership options for you to choose from.
The first option is Light Boost at just £2 monthly for 10% off charging. That’s just £24 annually for potentially hundreds of pounds of savings. Light Boost allows you to charge at thousands of charging stations at a discount in the UK and abroad in countries like the Netherlands and Germany.
Our other membership option is called Turbo Boost. Turbo Boost is £8 monthly for 15% off all your EV charging in our 17+ partners’ charging networks. It is the perfect way to charge if you don’t have a home charging station and often charge at public charging points.
Bonnet makes public charging easy. If you’re interested in accessing thousands of chargers and locating the perfect charger, download Bonnet.
Yes. You can still apply for OZEV’s EV chargepoint grant, which can give you up to £350 towards your chargepoint installation if you meet their requirements. OZEV’s former grant, the EVHS grant, is no longer open for new applications.
To be eligible for OZEV’s EV chargepoint grant, you must live in a flat or rental property. You must have dedicated off-street parking and have an Electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle that meets eligibility requirements.
OLEV stands for Office for Low Emission Vehicles. It was renamed OZEV, Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, in 2021 to align with the government’s net-zero policy.
No. You can’t directly apply for an OZEV grant yourself. You must contact an OZEV-approved installer who will see if you meet the requirements and, if you are eligible, submit your grant to OZEV for approval.
