Apply

Before you apply, you must:

  • complete any necessary upgrades to the building’s electrical supply
  • arrange regular maintenance checks of the chargepoints
  • decide how the electricity and running costs will be paid
  • make sure the chargepoints are accessible
  • update your property’s risk assessment to include the chargepoints
  • be ready to act on the risk assessment and put in place and maintain appropriate fire safety measures

You can apply for multiple sockets at the same address. If you’re using more than one installer or applying for more than one address, submit a separate application for each one.

  2. Agree with your installer what work will be carried out before you apply for a grant.

  3. Choose a chargepoint model from the list of eligible chargepoints.

  4. Complete the online application.
