Landlord EV charger grant: £500 per rental property
The landlord EV charger grant pays up to £500 per socket towards a charger at each residential property you let. No EV needs to be at the property to claim. We check you qualify, submit the application and deduct the grant from your quote.
Why landlords are fitting EV chargers now
More tenants arrive with an electric car every year, and a property with a charger already on the wall lets faster and holds its rent. The landlord EV charger grant takes £500 off the cost of getting ahead of that, per property, and it doesn't need a tenant with an EV to be in place first.
The charger stays with the property, the tenant charges on their own tariff, and you have added something that costs nothing to run and shows up in every listing photo.

If you let a residential property with its own parking, you almost certainly qualify. The scheme is open to individuals, companies and housing providers.
You can claim if
- You own an existing residential property that you let out, or are about to let
- The property has private, clearly defined off-street parking that you own or have the legal right to use
- You are a private landlord, a lettings or property company, a right-to-manage or residents’ management company, a housing association, a charity or a public body
- You can show a business identifier, such as a Companies House or VAT number, or your entry on the social housing register
- The charger is fitted by an OZEV-authorised installer, using an approved smart charger
You can't claim if
- You live in the property yourself (the EV chargepoint grant or Workplace Charging Scheme may apply instead)
- The property is a new build, a holiday let, or a charger is already required by building regulations
- A grant has already been claimed for a charger at that property
- There is no off-street parking for the tenant’s vehicle
- The installation was completed before your application was approved
Who should claim the grant
Two grants can apply to a rented home, but only one can be used per charger. Your tenant can claim the £500 EV chargepoint grant if they drive an EV and you give written permission. Or you claim the landlord grant, own the installation outright and keep it when the tenancy changes. Most landlords choose the second, because it keeps the asset with the property.
How we claim the grant for you
We check at quote stage
Your quote form answers tell us which scheme applies to your home, business or school, and your fixed quote comes back with the grant shown. No research needed on your side.
You apply, we do the paperwork
The schemes need the application to come from you, with our dated quote attached. It is a short online form, we walk you through it, and once it is approved we book the install.
The grant comes off your invoice
After the install we submit the claim as your OZEV-authorised installer. The grant is paid to us, so you only ever pay the price with it already deducted.

All EV charger grantsLandlord EV charger grant questions
How much is the landlord EV charger grant?
Up to £500 per charge point socket, or 75% of the cost if that is lower. On our fitted prices the full £500 applies, so an Easee One installation at £916 comes down to £416 per property. The cap rose from £350 to £500 on 1 April 2026.
Can I claim for more than one property?
Yes. The scheme is designed for landlords with portfolios: you can claim for up to 200 sockets a year across all your residential properties, and a twin charger counts as two sockets. We confirm where you stand before quoting for several sites.
Does my tenant need to own an electric car?
No. Unlike the tenant’s own grant, the landlord grant does not require an EV to be at the property at the time of the claim. It is there to help landlords fit charging ahead of demand, so a property is ready for the next EV-driving tenant.
Should I claim, or should my tenant?
Either can, but not both for the same charger. If your tenant drives an EV and wants to claim the £500 EV chargepoint grant themselves, they need your written permission and the charger stays with the property. If you would rather own the installation and keep control of it, you claim the landlord grant. Most landlords prefer the second route.
I let out a flat. Does the grant apply?
Yes, as long as the flat has a dedicated off-street parking space that the charger can serve. Where parking is shared or allocated by the freeholder, we check what is possible at the survey and tell you straight if a charger will not work.
Do I need to apply before the install?
Yes. You submit a short online application with our dated quote attached, and it has to be approved before the charger is fitted; installations done first cannot be claimed retrospectively. We handle the timing and the claim afterwards, and your quote shows the price with the grant already deducted.
What if the scheme changes?
The landlord grant is funded until 31 March 2027. The separate commercial landlord grant and landlord infrastructure grant closed in 2026, but the residential scheme continues. The rules here were checked in September 2026, and we confirm the current position before anything is signed.
