A QUICK SUMMARY
In the context of home charging, the “OLEV Grant” refers to a government grant for electric car home chargers, provided by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).
- The OLEV Grant, brought to us by the government, (otherwise known as the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), provides up to £350 off the cost of purchasing & installing a home charging point.
- It’s on offer for the majority of electric cars and plug-in hybrid cars, old or new.
- You can claim one chargepoint per eligible vehicle and up to two eligible vehicles per household.
- An additional grant of up to £300 is available to Scottish EV drivers via the Energy Savings Trust Scotland.
- OLEV also offer the separate Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant which can be claimed by any business, charity or public authority and provides up to £350 off the cost of purchasing & installing workplace charging points, up to 40 sockets.
NOT ALL EV MOTORS ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE OLEV GRANT
Unfortunately not every electric vehicle that you see on the roads today are eligible for the OLEV grant.
If you are driving a full battery electric vehicle then you are ready to go and grab your grant,
However plug-in hybrid vehicle CO2 emissions must be calculated below 50g/km.
OLEV maintains a list of those vehicles which are eligible here.
