EV chargepoint grant for renters and flat owners
The grant is a contribution, not a guaranteed award or fixed payment. For renters and flat owners, it can cover 75% of eligible purchase and installation costs up to £500 from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Meeting headline conditions means only possibly eligible; manual eligibility checking and OZEV confirmation are still required before installation.

Screen the dated renters and flat owners chargepoint grant for possible eligibility without treating the £500 cap as an award.
Possible eligibility screen
The E2 tree requires a flat owner-occupier or tenant, a private clearly defined off-street parking space the applicant can lawfully use, and an eligible EV. Any unresolved input needs a manual check.
Percentage and cap
The scheme can contribute 75% of eligible purchase and installation costs, limited to £500. A lower eligible cost produces a lower contribution; £500 is a ceiling rather than a fixed award.
Effective period and process
The current E2 window is 1 April 2026 through 31 March 2027. OZEV confirmation, an eligible chargepoint and an OZEV-authorised installer are required before installation.
What to do next
This page can return possibly eligible or manual check only; it does not make an OZEV award decision.
Immediate action: Check occupancy, parking rights, vehicle eligibility, prior claims and third-party permissions before asking an authorised installer to begin the scheme process.
- Stop if parking rights, property status or vehicle eligibility cannot be evidenced.
- Stop if installation has already started or the source review and scheme dates have expired.
Professional hand-off
- Use an OZEV-authorised chargepoint installer for the claim and installation, and obtain landlord, freeholder or managing-agent permission where applicable.
