There are UK government schemes that can help some households and workplaces with the cost of installing a chargepoint. Not every homeowner or business qualifies, and funding rules can change.
Eligible renters and people who own and live in a flat may qualify for a contribution of up to 75% of eligible installation costs, capped at £500. Private off-street parking and other conditions apply. Check the official eligibility rules →
Eligible organisations can receive support for up to 40 chargepoint sockets, subject to scheme rules and a cap of 75% of eligible costs. Check the 2026 workplace rate →
Eligible state-funded schools and other education institutions have a separate workplace scheme, for up to 40 sockets with a 75% cost cap. This applies to applications from 1 April 2026; older approved vouchers may have different values. Read the official education scheme →
Owning and living in a conventional house does not normally qualify you for the renters-and-flat-owners grant. A separate scheme may assist eligible households with only on-street parking that are installing an approved cross-pavement charging solution. Different conditions apply.
Eligible residential landlords and property managers may qualify under a separate chargepoint grant. The former commercial landlord chargepoint grant closed to new applications on 31 March 2026; do not confuse it with the current residential scheme. Check the rules for the property, applicant and number of sockets before planning work.
See our school charging guide for the practical site-planning questions, and confirm the correct education funding route before instructing an installer.
Many schemes require an OZEV-authorised installer and an eligible chargepoint. Some require approval or a voucher before work starts. Please don't order installation on the assumption a grant will be available.
