We'd rather tell you straight than let you assume a grant applies when it doesn't. Here's exactly who currently qualifies.
If you own a house with a driveway, you almost certainly won't qualify for a government grant on your home EV charger — that scheme ended for homeowners back in March 2022. The grants that exist now are aimed at specific groups: flat owners, renters, and people without off-street parking. We'd rather you know that upfront than be disappointed later.
The original Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), which gave most homeowners money off a charger, closed on 31 March 2022. It was replaced with a narrower set of grants aimed at people who don't have the same easy access to home charging that a driveway owner does. From 1 April 2026, the grant amounts under these schemes increased from £350 to £500, and were extended through to March 2027.
If you own a flat, or you rent any residential property (house or flat) and have private off-street parking, you can claim up to £500 towards a charger, provided you own or have ordered an eligible EV and haven't claimed this or a previous version of the grant before.
If you don't have off-street parking and need a cross-pavement charging solution (a permanent cable channel, not a temporary mat or cover), this grant can help — subject to your local council permitting that kind of installation in your area.
Landlords and housing associations can claim towards chargers installed at properties they manage for tenants.
If you own the house you live in and have your own off-street parking, none of the current schemes apply to you. This is the situation most of our customers are in.
Yes — the case for a home charger was never really about the upfront grant. Charging at home overnight on a cheap tariff still costs a fraction of public rapid-charger prices, and that saving repeats every single charge, for as long as you own the car. The grant was always a nice-to-have on top, not the reason to do it.
