Deadline looming to claim home charge point grant

Volt-Age EV Charging Limited are advising home owners who have an electric vehicle to book their charge point installation before the deadline for the government grant expires on 31 March.

Any installations booked after this date will not be eligible to take advantage of the £350 government EVHS grant.

Ian Rea, director of the Birmingham-based firm, said: “The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme expires at the end of March for anyone who owns a single-unit property such as a bungalow or detached, semi detached or terraced housing.

“The installation needs to have taken place by 31 March for the grant to be applied but demand in the charge point units will realistically mean homeowners will need to book by the end of January to make sure the installation has taken place in time ”

The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) are currently keeping the scheme open for homeowners that live in flat with designated parking and those in rental accommodation.

The Workplace Charging Scheme remains unchanged and is worth up to £14,000 for businesses requiring charge points for employee and customer car parks.

Volt-Age EV Charging Limited provide home and work place charger installations throughout the Midlands.
