If you own and live in a house with a private driveway, the standard residential grant does not normally apply just because you are buying an EV. You can still arrange a charger installation, but you should budget for the full cost unless another route applies.
The checker separates likely grant matches from ordinary paid installations, so an enquiry is not presented as grant-eligible unless the answers support that route.
Grant-funded work must use eligible equipment and an appropriately authorised installer. Do not assume a retrospective claim will be accepted.

Grant claims must follow the relevant OZEV process and eligible equipment rules.
The applicant, voucher and installer claim sequence varies by scheme.
A grant is only one part of the decision. Compare the installed price and likely annual electricity cost before choosing a charger.
The main home, landlord and workplace chargepoint schemes can contribute up to 75% of eligible purchase and installation costs, capped at £500 per socket. Eligibility depends on the scheme and property or workplace circumstances.
No. A homeowner living in a house with a private driveway is not automatically eligible for the main residential grant. Current home routes focus on renters, owner-occupiers in flats, and households with only on-street parking that install an eligible cross-pavement solution.
Renters living in a residential property may qualify if they have private off-street parking, an eligible vehicle and the necessary permission for the installation.
A separate household grant can provide up to £500 where the resident owns or rents the property, has only on-street parking and installs an eligible cross-pavement charging solution such as a charging gully.
Eligible landlords can claim up to £500 per socket for up to 200 sockets across their sites. Eligible organisations using the Workplace Charging Scheme can claim up to £500 per socket for up to 40 sockets across all sites.
The current home and workplace grant portfolio is funded until 31 March 2027. Government can change scheme terms, so check the official guidance before arranging work.
