We help these groups to ascertain what OLEV grants they are entitled to in order to help the UK achieve our carbon neutral status together.

What is the OLEV Grant?

The UK government is committed to providing infrastructure for the uptake of electric vehicles to meet their pre-agreed green initiatives. Homeowners were able to claim up to £350 per home charger installed under the previous OLEV grant rules. The cost of domestic EV charger installation has reduced quite significantly as electric car charge points are now more easily accessible and affordable than ever before, however, flats, businesses and rental properties are very much underserved. The new OLEV grant structure provides financial incentives for forward thinking businesses and landlords making it cheaper than ever before to invest in EV chargers for your premises as inevitably, you'll need to install them at some point! If your home or business could benefit from EV charger installation the "OLEV Grant" also known as the OZEV grant is a government grant which entitles you to claim a significant discount. For example:

  • Owners of commercial properties can claim £350 per socket and receive funding for up to 100 sockets per year.
  • Small business owners can claim up to £15,000
  • Landlords can claim £350 per charging socket to landlords.
  • Multi-unit buildings can receive funding for a maximum of 200 sockets or £70,000.
  • Apartment blocks owners could be entitled to receive up to £30,000 for each building. You can receive £850 for each parking space with a charger and an additional £500 for each space that has the connectivity for the future installation chargers.
  • Renters and leaseholders can receive a grant of up to £350 per person to purchase and install a charge point
