OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant – EV Charger Installation in South London & North Surrey.
How does the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant work?
The OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant is a UK Government scheme designed to help reduce the upfront cost of installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger at eligible residential and commercial properties.
The grant provides 75% off the cost of supply and installation, capped at £350 per charger, and is available to a specific group of applicants:
Renters
Flat owners
Landlords
Businesses (via separate workplace schemes)
⚠️ Homeowners are no longer eligible for the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant.
At NOD Electrical Services, we are OZEV-approved installers, providing EV charger installation across South London and North Surrey, and we manage the entire grant process on your behalf.

Only OZEV-approved installers and chargepoints can be used when claiming a grant.

How do I apply for the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant?
The process is simple:
1. Eligibility check
We confirm your vehicle, property, and charger eligibility.
2. Quotation
We provide a clear, fixed-price quote with the grant already deducted.
3. Grant application
Once you approve the quote, we submit the application to OZEV.
4. Installation
After approval, we install your EV charger (within 90 days).
5. Grant claim
We claim the grant directly from OZEV — no action needed from you.
How long does the OZEV grant take?
OZEV typically processes claims within 30 working days
Installation must be completed within 90 days of approval
Delays usually occur due to missing or incorrect information (which we manage for you)
What does “OZEV approved” mean?
“OZEV approved” means that:
The installer is trained, assessed, and authorised
The charger meets government safety and smart-charging standards
Using a non-approved installer or charger invalidates the grant.
Can I get an OZEV grant for a leased car?
Yes.
If you lease an EV:
The lease must run for at least 6 months before installation
And 6 months after installation
Proof of lease may be required.

The EVHS ended in March 2022.

Grants for landlords and residential car parks
