- 40 sockets across all sites per applicant – for instance, if you want to install them at 40 sites, you will have 1 socket available per site

It is open to eligible:
- businesses
- charities
- public sector organisations
- small accommodation businesses
There is a separate scheme with a different grant amount for state-funded education institutions.
All chargepoints must be installed by an OZEV authorised installer.
The scheme is available in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. It is not available in the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.
There is also a grant available for EV Infrastructure
This grant is for small and medium-sized businesses. An EV infrastructure grant gives you money off the cost of wider building and installation work that’s needed to install multiple chargepoint sockets.
The work can be for sockets you want to install now and in the future. For example, an EV infrastructure grant can cover things like wiring and posts.
The grant covers 75% of the cost of the work, up to a maximum of £15,000. You can get:
- up to £350 per chargepoint socket installed
- up to £500 per parking space enabled with supporting infrastructure
You can receive up to 5 grants across 5 different sites.
