EV charger grants have narrowed over the years, so it’s worth knowing who still qualifies in 2026. Here’s the current picture — always check gov.uk for the latest before you commit.
Flats and rented homes
If you live in a flat or rented property, the EV Chargepoint Grant can contribute towards the cost of a home charger (up to a capped amount). This is the main grant still open to individuals.
Homeowners in houses
The old grant for owner-occupiers in single-unit houses closed in 2022, so most homeowners now pay the full cost. The good news is prices have come down and a home charger still pays for itself against public charging.
Landlords
Landlords can access dedicated grants towards chargepoints and the infrastructure to support them across their properties — useful if you’re fitting several.
Businesses
The Workplace Charging Scheme helps businesses install chargepoints for staff and fleet vehicles.
How to claim
Grants are claimed through an approved installer — you don’t apply yourself. We’ll confirm whether your property qualifies and handle the paperwork when we quote for your EV charger installation. See also our guide to EV charger costs.
Common questions
Most owner-occupiers in single-unit houses lost the grant in 2022. Grants remain for people in flats and rented homes, for landlords, and for businesses via the Workplace Charging Scheme.
The grant for flats and rented homes covers a capped share of the cost. Amounts change, so we confirm the current figure and whether you qualify when we quote.
You don’t apply directly — it’s claimed through an approved installer. We check your eligibility and handle the paperwork as part of the installation.
