UK flat dwellers can claim 75% or £350 off home EV charger under little-known grant
By Eve
The EV Chargepoint Grant offers residents who own or rent flats up to 75% or £350 off the cost of installing a home electric car charger, according to Octopus Electric Vehicles. Eligibility requires owning an EV, having private off-street parking, and either owning and living in a flat or renting any residential property. Data shows thousands of motorists have already used the scheme over the past year.
Why it matters: The grant addresses a key barrier to EV adoption in multi-dwelling units by subsidising residential charger installations, potentially expanding the addressable market for CPOs and installers targeting flat-based customers. Understanding eligibility criteria helps procurement teams and housing associations structure compliant charging programmes for tenants and leaseholders.
