OZEV installer authorisation: the grant boundary
OZEV authorisation is relevant to participation in a named grant scheme and is not a general safety or quality endorsement. The E2 rule for 2026-04-01 to 2027-03-31 is 75% of eligible costs up to £500, and a matching screen means possibly eligible only. Check the exact business and chargepoint on the current lists, verify electrical competence separately and wait for OZEV's written decision before installation.

Key facts and evidence
As of 13 August 2026, OZEV authorisation is a UK grant-administration status for a named business and eligible chargepoint, not a general safety endorsement. E2 records the 2026-04-01 to 2027-03-31 schemes at 75% of eligible costs up to £500. A match means possibly eligible only; OZEV makes the decision and a grant award is never guaranteed.
Sourced fact
Installer authorisation and model eligibility must be checked on the current lists for the exact business and model.
Sourced fact
For 2026-04-01 to 2027-03-31, support is 75% of eligible costs and is capped at £500.

Meeting the published screening conditions means possibly eligible, not that OZEV will approve the application.

Understand what current OZEV installer and chargepoint status means for a named UK grant scheme, and what it does not prove.
The only current amount used here
E2 records the relevant home schemes as running from 2026-04-01 to 2027-03-31, with support equal to 75% of eligible costs up to a maximum of £500. The cap is not a flat payment, and the policy can change or end.
Use a cautious result
A user whose answers match the E2 eligibility tree may be described only as possibly eligible. Required evidence, permissions, installer and equipment checks still apply, OZEV must decide the application, and this page does not guarantee approval.
What to do next
Use the current scheme records as an administrative screen, not as evidence that a particular installation is electrically suitable.
Immediate action: Check the exact installer and model on current OZEV lists before relying on a grant figure.
- Pause the grant-dependent project if either record is absent, mismatched or no longer current.
- Pause installation until OZEV has issued the required written eligibility decision.
Checks that stay with this vehicle
Check the current OZEV installer list for the exact business named on the quotation.
The business details match a current authorisation record for the relevant grant route.
Stop relying on the grant if the business is absent, mismatched or its status is unclear.
Check the current eligible-chargepoint list for the exact manufacturer and model on the quotation.
The proposed model appears as eligible for the relevant scheme at the time of checking.
Stop relying on the grant if the model or variant cannot be matched exactly.
Verify the installer's electrical registration, EV competence, scope and insurance as a separate check.
The contractor provides current evidence that is independent of OZEV grant authorisation.
Stop if OZEV status is offered as the only evidence of competence or installation suitability.
Do not infer from missing evidence
- Keep grant screening separate from site survey, design, permissions, DNO action, installation and certification.
Professional hand-off
- Ask OZEV about a scheme or listing mismatch and use a registered competent EV chargepoint installer for the electrical project.
