Frequently Asked Questions
The EV chargepoint grant, eligibility, and this directory's rebuild
How much is the EV chargepoint grant?
Renters and flat owners can get 75% off the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint socket, up to a maximum of £500 per socket. Landlords have a separate scheme at the same £500-per-socket rate, up to 200 sockets a year. From 1 April 2026 the maximum rate rose from £350 to £500. Always check current eligibility and rates on GOV.UK, since scheme terms change.
Who is eligible for the grant?
Broadly: you must own and live in a flat, or rent and live in a residential property, own an eligible electric vehicle, and have your own private off-street parking. Landlords apply under a separate route. Full eligibility rules are on GOV.UK.
Why did the old directory listings and pages disappear?
This site previously carried leftover content from an unrelated template, along with installer counts and approval claims we couldn't verify. We removed both rather than leave inaccurate information live, and are rebuilding the directory with real, sourced installer data.
How much does a home EV charger cost, or how long does installation take?
We don't publish our own cost or timescale figures, because these vary by property and installer. Get quotes directly from installers for figures specific to your home.
