Renters & Flat Owners
Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant for Renters and Flat Owners
Live in a flat or rent your property? Save up to £500 with OZEV funding
If you rent your home or own a flat, you could save money on the cost of an EV chargepoint through OZEV funding.
The EV Chargepoint Grant for Renters and Flat Owners covers 75% of the cost of buying and installing a home chargepoint, up to £500 per socket. The grant is paid straight to your OZEV-approved installer and deducted from your invoice — you never handle the money yourself.
Once approved, your installer completes the installation, deducts the £500 grant from your invoice, and claims it directly from OZEV.
Who can apply
- Live in a flat you own (including shared ownership), or rent any residential property
- Have a private, off-street parking space you own or have a legal right to use, accessible at all times
- Own or use an OZEV-approved electric or qualifying plug-in hybrid vehicle
- Not yet have the chargepoint installed (the grant can't be backdated)
- Live in an existing, occupied residential property in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland
Who can't apply
- Own a standalone house (unless it's been converted into flats and you occupy just one)
- Rent a room where your landlord also lives
- Are moving or planning to move
- Have already claimed this grant, EVHS, or the Domestic Recharge Scheme at this address
- Live somewhere a chargepoint is legally required (e.g. a new build)
- Live in the Channel Islands or Isle of Man
Documentation you'll need
- Proof of address — a utility bill or council tax bill dated within the last 3 months
- Proof of tenancy or ownership — your signed tenancy agreement (AST), or your leasehold title if you own the flat
- If you're renting: written landlord or freeholder consent — grab our ready-made permission letter template to speed things along
- Your itemised quote from Ocunio, showing the £500 grant deduction clearly
- Vehicle evidence: your V5C logbook, lease agreement, or registration number if you already have the car — or your vehicle order form plus a photo of your off-street parking space if it's on order
- Some landlords, especially councils or housing associations, require you to submit a business case as part of your permission — we support you with the information and supporting documents needed for this
