The residential landlord infrastructure grant, the commercial landlord grant and the small business staff and fleets grant: on 31 March 2026 all three chargepoint grants closed to applications. The home and workplace grants that remained went up at the same time, from £350 to £500 per socket.
Is the OZEV Grant Available in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Yes, you can use the flats and renters grant, the on-street parking grant, the residential landlord grant and the Workplace Charging Scheme for properties in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Homes and sites in the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not covered. Wales and Northern Ireland use the same OZEV routes as England.
Scotland had two of its own schemes, run by Home Energy Scotland. The domestic charge point funding gave you a grant to help buy and fit a home charge point, and the Used Electric Vehicle Loan gave you an interest-free loan to help buy a second-hand electric vehicle. Neither scheme accepts new applications, but you can register your interest in future funding on the Energy Saving Trust website.
