Households only have 100 days left to claim these EV charger grants

Flat owners, landlords and businesses have been warned they have only 100 days left to apply for a number of EV charger grants.

While homeowners with off-street parking are no longer eligible for government help, a number of other groups can still claim hundreds of pounds in assistance to install chargers. But they are being urged to act quickly to secure the EV charger grants from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Businesses, landlords, flat owners, renters and households who park on the street can apply for grants of up to £350 per charger, while state-funded schools and further education centres can claim up to £25,000 per device.

Most of the incentives, designed to encourage EV uptake, have a deadline of 31 March 2025.

Daniel Forsberg, marketing manager at chargepoint manufacturer CTEK, said: “With no extension or replacement for the EV charger grants announced to date, the countdown clock is ticking on applying for these valuable incentives.

“Whether you are a landlord, a flat owner, an employer or anyone else who could benefit, now is the time to talk to an OZEV-registered installer about what to install and where.

“Installers and their customers should be looking to install futureproofed hardware which has the latest communication and security standards. That way employers, renters, flat owners and landlords can confidently invest in EV charging that can be easily installed and will be reliable and current for many years to come.”
