The first step is choosing an installer. There's a list on the OZEV/Gov website or we're trained and qualified installers.

We'll run through your eligibility or you can check whether your vehicle and property are eligible via the Government's OZEV website and EV Homecharge Scheme guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/customer-guidance-electric-vehicle-homecharge-scheme/electric-vehicle-homecharge-scheme-guidance-for-customers

UKEV Installations specialise in the installation of electric charging equipment and are certified installers for a number of manufacturers.

No. UKEV Installations handle your grant claim for you and invoice you with the grant amount already removed.

There is specific training for EV charging equipment. Our installers hold City and Guilds level 3 qualifications in EV Charging Equipments as well as certification by OZEV approved charging manufacturers.

The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme will be changing in 2022 and looks to be more limited. OZEV say that they will try to provide 4 weeks notice of any changes.

Unfortunately OZEV don't permit this unless you've a second electric car.

The EV Homecharge Scheme is for domestic properties only.

You may wish to explore the Workplace Charging Scheme instead.

According to OZEV:

"This grant is for domestic properties only (for workplaces, refer to OZEV’s Workplace Charging Scheme).

The grant is only for retrofit (existing) properties; it cannot be used for new-builds or properties that are not occupied.

The customer must be resident at the property. This will be checked via vehicle registration details. Where the link between the customer and the property is unclear, additional supporting evidence may be required (for example, a utility bill).

Any necessary third-party permissions (such as from a freeholder or managing agent of a block of flats) must be obtained by the customer before an installation occurs. This will be needed for rented or leasehold properties where it’s the renter or the leaseholder applying.

Where an installation requires cabling or other parts of the installation to be placed in or on another person’s property, or public land, access rights and permissions must be agreed by all parties using legally binding arrangements, such as legal covenants, before an installation begins.

There is no requirement to inform OZEV if you are moving a chargepoint to a new house or if you move house."

We won't be able to claim the EVHS contribution if your charger isn't on the approved list but we may be able to complete the install outside of the scheme.
