Residential landlords
- 75% off the cost, up to £500 per socket, for up to 200 sockets a year across your properties.
- Open to private landlords, property management companies, RTM/residents' management companies, freeholders, social housing providers, charities and public sector bodies.
- You must be registered at Companies House or VAT registered, and the parking must be private and off-street.
- Not available for holiday lets, or where you live in the property. The chargepoint must not be installed before OZEV confirms eligibility.
Workplaces, farms and small businesses

- Open to businesses, charities, public sector organisations and small accommodation businesses.
- Parking must be for staff or fleet use, not just for customers. Have the site surveyed before you apply.
- There is a separate application form for small businesses run mainly from a home address.
Other schemes
There is also a grant for households with on-street parking, and a separate workplace scheme for state-funded schools of up to £2,000 per socket. See the GOV.UK overview of EV chargepoint grants and changes from 1 April 2026.
