Home Car Charging
How do I access funding for my home charge point?
The typical cost for a home charge point and installation is approximately £1500. As part of its Electric Vehicle Homecharge scheme, OLEV currently offers applicants £350 towards this cost. Energy Saving Trust will provide £250- £350 further funding on top of this. For the cost covered by OLEV you will not need to make any payment to us, as we will receive this money from OLEV directly. For the costs above what OLEV cover, you will have to pay us and then the Energy Saving Trust will provide you with your (£250 to £350) reimbursement.
Applicants need to arrange their installations directly with us and Energy Saving Trust’s involvement is solely to offer grant funding.
In the context of home charging, the “OLEV Grant” refers to a government grant for electric car home chargers, provided by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).

How do I qualify for the OLEV Grant?
To qualify for OLEV’s EVHS grant, you need to have purchased an eligible electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle from 1st October 2016 onwards.
Additional grant in Scotland
Through the Energy Saving Trust Scotland, the Scottish Government offers Scottish residents an additional grant of up to £300, on top of the EVHS grant.
