If you’re looking for an electric vehicle charger for your home, you only eligible for grant funding if you live in a rental property or apartment block or flats.
We are instructed by OZEV, the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles to offer simple and impartial help and advice to guide you throughout the whole process.
- Do you own or lease an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle?
- Do you have off street parking at your home?
- If the answer is yes to both of the these questions, it is highly likely that you are eligible for grant funding towards a home charger.
What to expect
We follow a 3 step process towards providing you with a competitive quotation for your new home charging unit.
- We assess and confirm whether you are eligible for the OLEV EVHS (Electric Vehicle Homecharging Scheme) funding of up to £350
- We assess your property to understand what is involved to install the home charging unit
- Help you choose the right charging unit for you, your property and your vehicle
Information you will need to provide
We are regulated by the OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) and therefore have to provide them with the below information to allow us to reclaim the grant funding for your installation:
- Image of your fuse board(s) with the lid open so we can see your fuses
- Image of your main electric meter and supply
- Proof that you have ordered, own or are the primary user for the vehicle
- Your MPAN number found on your energy bill

Who are OLEV?
The Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) have been appointed by the UK Government to manage and distribute Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) funding for electric car charge points.
What is Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS)
The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) allows EV and plug-in hybrid drivers to receive ‘no fuss’ grant funding towards a home electric car charger provided you:
- Meet the criteria for funding
- Use an OLEV approved installer
To save you the time and trouble of having to apply and reclaim your funding, it is the OLEV approved installers responsibility to subsidise your installation, and we reclaim this under the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS).
This means we can install car charging points and you don’t have to complete piles of paperwork and wait for your money to be refunded.
