Electric vehicle chargepoint and infrastructure grants for landlords
After you’ve applied
Once the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) approves the application, they’ll let your installer know that they can start the work.
Your installer must complete the work within 90 days of your application being approved.
If the work is going to take longer, your installer can request an extension. If they do not, you’ll need to apply again to get the grant.
Claiming the grant
Your installer will claim the grant on your behalf after they’ve completed the work.
They’ll give details of your chargepoint to OZEV, along with photographs of the installation and an invoice.
OZEV will send you an email to sign into your online account and review the claim. If it’s incorrect, you’ll have a week to respond - you’ll be told how to do this when you review the claim in your account. If you do nothing, the claim will be submitted to OZEV as it is.
If OZEV approves the claim, the grant will be paid to your chargepoint installer who will take the amount off your bill.
Your invoice will show the total installation cost minus the grant amount.
Chargepoints 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, OZEV may withdraw your registration.
