Funds are designed to give up to £350 towards cost of buying and installing a home charging point
There are only a few weeks left to apply for a UK government grant to help with the cost of getting an electric vehicle home charging point installed if you own your house.
The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme is an official grant that provides a 75% contribution – up to a maximum of £350 – towards the cost of a charging point and its installation. The main requirements are that the applicant owns, leases or has ordered a qualifying vehicle and has appropriate off-street parking.
From April 2022, the scheme will no longer be open to homeowners living in “single-unit properties” – in other words, detached, semi-detached and terrace houses and bungalows, so the charging point will need to be installed by 31 March and probably booked by February.
However, the scheme will remain open to homeowners who live in flats, and people in rented accommodation.
The cost of installing a home charging point varies, depending on the type you go for, although quotes typically come in at between £500 and £1,000.
