After you’ve applied
Once OZEV has approved your application, they’ll let your installer know that they can start the work.
Claiming the grant
When your installer finishes the installation, they will claim the grant on your behalf.
Your invoice will show the total installation cost minus the grant amount. They’ll give details of your chargepoint to OZEV, along with photographs of the installation and an invoice.
If OZEV approves the claim, the grant will be paid to your installer.
Chargepoint audits
In some cases, OZEV may choose to audit your installation to check it meets the grant requirements. If they do, OZEV will arrange for auditors to contact you for a site visit. If you do not allow a site visit, your installation may be stopped.
Contact OZEV
If you have any questions about the scheme you can contact the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
