Applying for an OZEV grant; a step by step guide
The EVHS, or Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme, is a grant provided by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), aimed at offering an additional incentive to UK EV drivers.
Important note: eligibility criteria for the OZEV grant will be changing shortly and the grant will not be open to homeowners living in single unit properties from April 2022. In order to claim the existing version of the grant, your home charger must be installed by 31 March 2022, otherwise you may not be eligible for the discounts associated with the OZEV grant. For full details of the eligibility criteria please see the official Government website.
The grant offers up to £350 off the cost of purchasing and installing a charging unit at your property, and can be claimed on the majority of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles currently available on today’s market. To find out more about the grant and if you are eligible, click here.
