Save Money on Installing Your Home Chargepoint With My Home Sheffield

Switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is no longer just a trend, it’s the future of driving in the UK. With rising fuel costs and growing clean air initiatives, more people are making the move to electric. But one concern holds many back:

“How much will it cost to install a home EV charger?”

The good news is that the UK Government offers the EV Charger Grant to help renters and flat owners cover installation costs. At My Home Sheffield, we’ve guided countless households through this process, making EV charging simple and stress-free.

What is the EV Charger Grant?

The Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant is a government scheme that helps with the cost of installing a home charging point:

• Covers up to £350 or 75% of the installation cost (whichever is lower)
• Available to renters and flat owners with a private off-street parking space
• Managed by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV)

More details are available on the official GOV.UK website: EV Chargepoint Grant – GOV.UK

Why is the Grant Offered?

The government wants to make electric vehicles more accessible and encourage more drivers to switch. As part of its net-zero targets, the UK plans to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035. Grants like this are designed to:

• Reduce the cost of owning an EV
• Support people living in flats and rented homes
• Make charging at home safer and more reliable
  

Who Can Apply?

You may be eligible if:

• You rent a property or own a flat
• You have a private off-street parking space
• You own, lease, or regularly use an eligible EV from the OZEV-approved list

You are not eligible if:

• You own a standalone house (unless it’s converted into flats and you live in one)
• You’re a lodger in someone else’s home
• You’ve already claimed a previous home charging grant

What About Businesses?

It’s not just homeowners who can benefit from government support. If you run a business, charity, or public sector organisation, the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCG) can help cover the cost of installing chargers on your premises.

The grant offers up to £350 per charging socket (covering 75% of installation costs) for up to 40 chargers per site, making it easier and more affordable to support electric vehicles for staff and visitors.

At My Home Sheffield, we work with local businesses across South Yorkshire to design, install, and maintain safe, professional charging setups. As OZEV-approved electricians, we handle everything from the grant paperwork to a fast, tidy installation that’s built to last.
