EV chargepoint grant for households with on-street parking
The on-street household chargepoint grant can cover 75% of eligible purchase and installation costs, up to £500, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. It is only possibly eligible where there is no private exclusive off-street parking and a permanent cross-pavement solution, eligible EV and required permissions pass a manual check. The result is not an award decision, and the grant does not reserve a parking space or confirm local highways consent.

Screen possible eligibility for the on-street household chargepoint grant while preserving local permission and parking limits.
Headline manual screen
The applicant must own or rent and live at the property, have no private exclusive off-street parking, have an eligible EV and propose a permanent cross-pavement solution. Any uncertain input remains a manual check.
Funding formula
The scheme can meet 75% of eligible chargepoint and installation costs up to £500 during 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The £500 figure is a ceiling rather than a fixed award.
No parking-space reservation
A grant contribution does not reserve an on-street parking space. Parking availability remains separate from grant eligibility and installation permission.
What to do next
This screen can say possibly eligible or manual check only; it does not grant highway, planning or parking permission.
Immediate action: Ask the relevant local authorities and an OZEV-authorised installer to verify permissions and scheme conditions before any work.
- Stop if highways, planning, property or third-party permission is missing or uncertain.
- Stop if a safe pedestrian route cannot be maintained or the policy review has expired.
Professional hand-off
- Use the local highways and planning authorities for permissions and an OZEV-authorised installer for the grant process and physical installation.
