How the EV charger grant for landlords works
Landlords have their own dedicated route into the OZEV chargepoint grant, separate from the renter and homeowner schemes. It is designed so that a landlord can fit chargepoints across a property portfolio rather than just one home, recognising that EV-driving tenants increasingly expect somewhere to charge. You claim up to £500 per chargepoint socket, covering 75% of the combined hardware and installation cost.
Crucially, the grant is per socket and can be claimed across many properties, with an annual cap on the number of grants a single landlord can claim. That makes it practical to roll out charging across a block of flats or a set of rental houses in stages, claiming the grant on each install as you go.
Who qualifies and exact eligibility
To qualify as a landlord you must own the property and be letting it (or making it available to let), the chargepoint must be installed at a residential rental property with suitable parking, and you must use an OZEV-approved installer fitting an approved smart chargepoint. Both private and commercial landlords can use the scheme, and there is a separate workplace and residential car-park variant for communal parking areas.
There are annual limits on how many chargepoint grants and how many infrastructure grants a landlord can claim in a financial year, which is why portfolio rollouts are often phased. Your installer confirms how many sockets you can claim for in the current period before quoting, so there are no surprises.
The claim process in detail
As with the tenant routes, you do not file paperwork with the government yourself. You decide which properties to fit, we match each to an OZEV-approved installer covering that postcode, the installer surveys and quotes a fixed price per socket with the grant already deducted, and they file the grant claim for each install. You receive an invoice per property showing the grant discount applied.
Most single-socket installs are completed in a half-day, and a phased portfolio rollout is simply a series of those visits. Because the grant is deducted at invoice rather than reclaimed afterwards, your cash outlay per property is the net figure from day one.
Common pitfalls and the value case
The main pitfalls are claiming more sockets than the annual landlord cap allows, mixing up the residential car-park (communal) variant with the single-dwelling route, and using a non-approved installer or chargepoint model. A good installer flags all three before you commit. Keep proof of ownership and the let status, as landlord claims can be audited.
On value: a home or allocated-bay chargepoint is now a genuine letting differentiator, can shorten void periods with EV-driving tenants, and contributes to the property's wider energy-efficiency story. Part-funding it at £500 per socket turns what was a full capital cost into a much smaller net investment.
Questions
Can a landlord claim the EV charger grant?
Yes — there's a dedicated landlord route. You must own and let the property, fit an approved smart chargepoint via an OZEV-approved installer, and you can claim up to £500 per socket across multiple properties, subject to annual caps.
Can I claim the grant for multiple properties?
Yes. The landlord route supports chargepoints across a portfolio, claimed per socket and per property, subject to the per-socket cap and an annual limit on the number of grants one landlord can claim.
Who qualifies for the landlord EV charger grant?
Private and commercial landlords who own and let residential property with suitable parking, using an OZEV-approved installer and an approved smart chargepoint. A separate variant covers communal residential car parks.
How much is the EV charger grant for landlords?
Up to £500 per chargepoint socket, covering 75% of the combined hardware and installation cost, claimed on each install across your portfolio within the annual scheme limits.
Does a charger help with tenant demand?
A home or allocated-bay chargepoint is increasingly expected by EV-driving tenants, can make a rental more attractive, let faster and reduce void periods, and supports the property's wider energy-efficiency profile.
Who handles the grant claim?
Your matched OZEV-approved installer manages the grant paperwork for each property and deducts the support from each invoice, so you pay only the net balance.
