EV home charger grants in the UK in 2025
Government support for home EV charging has changed significantly in recent years. While the original OZEV Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) for homeowners ended in 2022, there are still valuable grants available in 2025 for certain households.
EnergyPlus keeps up-to-date with every change to OZEV (Office for Zero Emission Vehicles) funding to help you claim the maximum support available for your situation.
1. OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant (home use)
The main national scheme currently supporting home EV chargers is the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant. This is designed primarily to help:
- Flat / apartment owners and leaseholders
- Private renters (with landlord permission)
- Social housing tenants (subject to provider approval)
The scheme has replaced the old EVHS for these groups and can make home charging far more affordable if you live in a flat or rental property.
How much is the grant worth in 2025?
The EV Chargepoint Grant typically offers:
- Up to 75% off the cost of a home charge point and installation
- Up to a maximum of £350 per charging unit (subject to current government rules)
The grant is paid directly to your installer (such as EnergyPlus), so you simply pay the remaining balance on your installation invoice.
Who is eligible?
While the exact criteria can change, you will usually need to meet the following conditions for the EV Chargepoint Grant:
- You live in a flat, apartment or rental property in the UK.
- You have dedicated off-street parking or an allocated space where a charger can be safely installed.
- You either own an eligible electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid, have one on order, or drive an eligible company EV as your main vehicle.
- The charger must be installed by an OZEV-approved installer, such as EnergyPlus.
Some households in Scotland and Wales may also have access to additional regional funding or interest-free loans on top of OZEV support. Our team can advise you based on your postcode.
2. Grants for homeowners in houses (2025)
If you are a homeowner in a house or bungalow with your own driveway, national grant support is more limited in 2025 compared with previous years. The original EVHS grant for owner-occupied homes has now closed.
However, you may still benefit from:
- Energy supplier tariffs designed specifically for EV drivers, offering reduced overnight charging rates.
- Smart charger features that automatically schedule charging when electricity is cheapest.
- Local or regional energy schemes occasionally run by councils or devolved governments.
Even without a direct grant, falling hardware costs, competitive installation pricing and smart off-peak tariffs mean home charging can still work out much cheaper than using public charge points.
How EnergyPlus helps you access EV grants
As an experienced domestic EV charger installer, EnergyPlus manages the entire grant process for you wherever possible. We aim to make going electric as stress-free as possible.
Our typical process
- Free eligibility check
We confirm whether you qualify for any current OZEV grant or regional scheme based on your address, property type and EV. - Home survey (online or in-person)
We review your main fuse board, parking space and cable route to provide a fixed quotation and confirm any grant contribution. - Grant paperwork handled for you
Where grants apply, we complete the evidence and application requirements and offset the grant directly against your invoice. - Professional installation
Our qualified engineers install your charger, test it fully and guide you through the app and smart charging features. - Aftercare and support
We remain on hand for queries and can advise on tariffs, solar integration and optimising your charging routine.
Typical cost of a home EV charger in 2025
Your final price will depend on your property layout, cable route, consumer unit capacity and chosen charger model. As a guide, many standard installations fall into the following ranges:
Without grant support
- From around £750 – £1,100 inc. VAT for a typical 7.4kW smart charger and standard installation.
- Includes set cable run, mounting, testing and commissioning.
- Upgrades to consumer units or longer cable runs may cost extra.
With an OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant
- Grant can reduce your cost by up to £350 (subject to eligibility and funding rules).
- Typical homeowner contribution from around £400 – £800 for many standard installations.
- Grant is deducted automatically from your EnergyPlus invoice.
All quotes are provided on a transparent, fixed-price basis before any work starts, so you always know exactly what you will pay.

Frequently asked questions about EV charger grants
No. The older EVHS grant for all homeowners ended in 2022. In 2025, the main national grant focuses on flat owners, renters and certain landlords. Standard homeowners in houses without specific eligibility usually fund chargers themselves, but can still benefit from smart tariffs and EnergyPlus’ competitive installation pricing.
Grant schemes normally require that you either already own an eligible electric vehicle, have one on firm order, or drive an eligible company EV as your main car. Evidence such as order confirmations, lease documents or company car agreements may be requested during the application process.
Timescales can vary. Because EnergyPlus is OZEV-approved, we handle the application directly with the scheme administrators and schedule your installation accordingly. In many cases, we can progress from quote acceptance to completed installation within a few weeks, subject to survey and grid constraints.
EV policy is evolving quickly. We continually monitor OZEV guidance and any new regional or national incentives. When you enquire, we will base your quote on the latest confirmed rules and notify you if any changes affect your grant eligibility before installation takes place.
In many cases, a charger can be relocated to a new property, but additional installation work will be required and grant funding may not apply to a second installation. Our team can advise on the most cost-effective approach when you move, including leaving the charger to boost your property’s appeal.
