Government grants, at a glance

If you are looking to purchase your own Electric Vehicle (EV) charger for home or business use, there are a range of Electric Vehicle Government Grants to take advantage of. Here is an overview of what grants you can claim and so you know when, where and how to apply.

UK Home Install

OLEV: Office of Low Emission Vehicles

The UK Department of Transport and the Office of Low Emission Vehicles runs the Electric Vehicle Home Charge Scheme (EVHS) which offer a Grant towards the purchase and installation of a home EV charge point. It is commonly known as the OLEV grant.

Customers can get up to £500 off the cost of an approved EV charge point and installation. Many EV charger manufacturers absorb this grant in the selling price which is good for the customer. However, it pays to check that you meet the criteria. One caveat is to ensure that both the EV charger model and the engineer you’ve picked to install are listed on the relevant OLEV approved lists.

Andersen chargers and engineers are both of these and will help claim your OLEV grant on your behalf.

UK Workplace Install

WCS: Workplace Charging Scheme

This is good for business, charities and local government offices who wish to offer charging to their fleets, staff and customers. Apply to receive a £350 voucher off per socket. You won’t need to actually own an electric car, but you’ll need to declare either a current need for EV charging infrastructure or an intention to encourage uptake amongst your staff and/or fleet. Apply for the voucher before purchasing your EV charger and forward on your approval paperwork to your chosen installer who will claim back your grant after your installation.

Scotland

EST: ENERGY SAVINGS TRUST

Scottish customers can get up to an additional £300 off their charge point. This is on top of their OLEV grant. This is a voucher-based scheme. Customers must apply for the voucher and receive approval from the EST before their EV charger is installed.

Republic of Ireland

SEAI: SUSTAINABLE ENERGY AUTHORITY OF IRELAND

Customers in the Republic of Ireland can get a €600 discount.
