OLEV Funded Electric Vehicle Home Charge Scheme

Electric vehicles are no longer futuristic technology seen in sci-fi movies and television shows! Today, there are more than 20 models offered from more than a dozen different brands—in a range of sizes, styles, price points and powertrains to suit a wide range of consumers. The government wants to encourage people to turn to electric vehicles as not only a great way to save money but also to help to contribute towards a healthy and stable environment. As such the Government are currently offering an OLEV grant to install a charge point in your own home.

The Electric Vehicle HomeCharge Scheme provides a grant of up to 75 per cent of the eligible costs of charge point installation (capped at £500, inc VAT) for the registered keeper, lessee or nominated primary user of a new or second-hand eligible electric vehicle on or after 1 April 2015 onwards, dependent on eligibility. For more information on eligibility please visit https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/government-grants-for-low-emis... .
