Everything you need to know about financial support for electric vehicles and home charging infrastructure in the UK. Get the facts, claim the grants.
Electric Car Grant - Up to £3,750
The key support for private drivers is the Electric Car Grant, launched in 2025. It provides up to £3,750 off the price of a new electric car, or £1,500 for certain models that don't meet the highest sustainability rating.
To qualify, the car must cost less than £37,000 and be on the official list of approved vehicles. The grant is applied at the point of purchase, so you don't need to claim it yourself — the discount should be reflected in the price you pay at the dealership.
EV Chargepoint Grant - Up to £350
If you live in a flat or rented property with private off-street parking, you can apply for the EV Chargepoint Grant, which covers 75% of the cost of a charger and its installation (up to £350). The same support applies if you rely on cross-pavement solutions for on-street parking.
To get it, you need to choose an OZEV-approved charger and installer, because only accredited suppliers are allowed to process the grant. Your installer usually handles the paperwork and deducts the grant amount from your bill.
Additional Support Schemes
If your employer installs EV chargers, they can get £350 per socket (up to 40 sockets), which makes it easier for staff to charge at work.
Landlords of residential flats or commercial sites can claim up to £30,000 per property to fit chargepoints or prepare parking spaces with cabling for future use.
Your Action Plan
Make sure your chosen car or charger is eligible for government support.
For home chargers, this ensures you can get the grant and receive professional installation.
The discount or grant is usually applied automatically, but only if the supplier is authorised.
Grant amounts and eligibility criteria can change. Always check the latest information on the official government website before making any decisions.
Our team can help you understand grant eligibility and connect you with OZEV-approved installers.
