Help with paying for an electric vehicle charge point
The government’s Office for Zero-Emission Vehicles (OZEV) offers several grant schemes to promote the use of electric vehicles and the necessary charging provision.
EV chargepoint grant for households with on-street parking
This new grant scheme provides 75% off the cost to buy and install an electric vehicle charge point at your property, up to a maximum of £350, where you have to park on-street. This grant can only be accessed where the resident has our approval to install a cross-pavement charging solution.
We are currently running an extended trial of pavement cable channels.
