100 days to go for UK EV chargepoint grants
Posted by: electime 20th December 2024
On Saturday there are just 100 days left to apply for UK Government grants for Electric Vehicle (EV) chargepoint installations.
Businesses, landlords, flat owners, renters and households who park on the street have less than four months to apply for the hundreds of pounds available for each chargepoint installed.
Most of the incentives still available from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) have a deadline of 31 March 2025.
The schemes were designed to encourage EV adoption now that the purchase grants for electric cars are long gone (although the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant continues, with purchase discounts for individuals and organisations).
The grants with 100 days left to run are:
The Workplace Charging Scheme: offers businesses, charities and public sector employers up to £350 per charging socket, for up to 40 sockets in total across each applicant’s site or sites. Click for details
State-funded education institutions: 75 per cent off the cost to buy and install chargepoints up to a maximum of £2,500 per socket and 40 sockets across all sites. Click for details

Chargepoint and infrastructure grants for landlords: up to £350 per socket for up to 200 each year for residential properties and 100 commercial properties.

Daniel Forsberg, Marketing Manager EVSE at chargepoint manufacturer CTEK, said: “With no extension or replacement for the grants announced to date, the countdown clock is ticking on applying for these valuable incentives.
“Whether you are a landlord, a flat owner, an employer or anyone else who could benefit, now is the time to talk to an OZEV-registered installer about what to install and where.
“Installers and their customers should be looking to install futureproofed hardware, such as CTEK’s CC3 chargepoint, which has the latest communication and security standards which is primed for the next innovations in EV charging such as Autocharge and Plug & Charge.
“That way employers, renters, flat owners and landlords can confidently invest in EV charging that can be easily installed and will be reliable and current for many years to come.
“Our UK team of experts are on hand to help installers and their customers with technical and operational advice and information. Together the OZEV grants and CTEK’s technology and support bring reliable, futureproofed EV charging within reach.”
