Time is ticking to claim generous grants for installing EV chargepoints. Whether you’re a landlord, renter, business owner, or someone parking on the street, you have until 31 March 2025 to grab hundreds of pounds in financial support for each charging point you install.

The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) has opened its wallet to make EV charging infrastructure more accessible and affordable. This initiative is a part of a broader effort to boost EV adoption, especially now that direct purchase grants for electric vehicles have been phased out. However, it’s not all winding down; the Plug-in Van and Truck Grant sails on, offering purchase discounts until the same deadline.

Daniel Forsberg, a leading voice from chargepoint manufacturer CTEK, highlights the urgency, “There is just one year left to access these OZEV grants, which are crucial in making EV charging infrastructure more accessible and its installation more affordable. CTEK’s EV charging solutions, especially the robust CC3 chargepoint which is built to last and futureproofed with the latest communication and security standards, complement OZEV’s grants by providing easily installed, reliable and efficient charging, ensuring employers, renters, flat owners and landlords can confidently invest in EV charging. Applying for these grants involves partnering with OZEV-approved installers, and in some cases directly with OZEV, to ensure adherence to program standards and streamlining applications for individuals and businesses alike.”
