1. CHOOSE AN OZEV-APPROVED INSTALLER

   Begin by selecting an OZEV-approved installer. Only approved installers can apply for the grant on your behalf. 

2. CONSULTATION AND QUOTE

   Contact the installer to discuss your needs. They will assess your property and provide you with a quote for the installation of an eligible EV chargepoint​.

3. INSTALLER INITIATES THE GRANT APPLICATION

   Once you accept the quote, the installer will start the application. They will need your contact details to send them to OZEV. You will receive an email from OZEV containing a link to an online form.

4. COMPLETE THE ONLINE FORM

   Follow the link in the email to fill out the online form. You will need to provide details about your property and your vehicle. Make sure all information is accurate to avoid delays.

5. APPLICATION APPROVAL

   OZEV will review your application. If approved, they will notify the installer that they can proceed with the installation.

6. INSTALLATION

   The installer will schedule and complete the installation of your EV chargepoint. This must be done within 90 days of application approval. If more time is needed, the installer can request an extension.

7. GRANT CLAIM BY INSTALLER

   After the installation is complete, the installer will claim the grant on your behalf. They will submit necessary details, including photographs of the installation and an invoice, to OZEV. You will then receive an email to verify the information provided by the installer​.

8. DEDUCTION OF GRANT AMOUNT

   The installer should deduct the grant amount from your bill before applying for the grant. Your invoice should clearly show the total installation cost minus the deducted grant amount.

9. GRANT PAYMENT

   Once OZEV verifies and approves the application and the invoice, they will pay the grant amount directly to the installer​.

REDUCED COSTS

The grant covers up to 75% of the cost of purchasing and installing an EV chargepoint, capped at £350. This significantly reduces the upfront expense of setting up a home or workplace charging solution​.

SIMPLIFIED APPLICATION PROCESS

The application process is streamlined and handled by OZEV-approved installers. They manage the paperwork and application, so your compliance with the grant’s requirements​ is guaranteed.

IMPROVED BATTERY HEALTH

Home charging infrastructure supports the long-term health of your EV's battery by providing slower, more controlled charging compared to rapid charging stations. This can extend the battery’s lifespan and facilitate more consistent performance​​.

COST SAVINGS ON CHARGING

Charging an EV at home, especially during off-peak hours, is often cheaper than using public charging stations. Over time, these savings can offset the initial installation costs further​.
