The £500 OZEV Grant — And Whether You Qualify

From April 2026 the OZEV Chargepoint Grant rose to up to £500 per socket. As an OZEV approved installer we check your eligibility on the survey and handle the entire claim — you don't fill in a single form.

£500 per socket · OZEV Chargepoint Grant 2026

You may be eligible if you:

  • Rent your home, or own a flat or apartment
  • Live in a property with off-street parking
  • Own or lease an eligible electric vehicle
  • Are a landlord fitting chargers for tenants
  • Haven't already claimed for that parking space

Not sure? That's normal — the rules changed in 2026. Tell us your situation on a free survey and we'll confirm in plain English what you can claim.

Zappi, Pod Point & Autel Home Chargers

We're an independent installer, so we recommend the charger that suits your car, your driveway and your tariff — not whichever brand we're tied to.

Zappi

Best for solar owners

The Zappi smart EV charger automatically prioritises free surplus solar energy to charge your car. As a Zappi charger installer Chester and Deeside homeowners call first, it's our top pick for any home with solar PV.

  • Surplus solar diversion
  • Eco & Eco+ charging modes
  • 7kW single-phase / 22kW three-phase

Pod Point

Best for simplicity

Clean, understated and genuinely easy to live with. Pod Point installation Chester and Flintshire drivers love — plug in, walk away and forget about the app.

  • Discreet, compact design
  • Schedule off-peak charging
  • Tethered or untethered

Autel MaxiCharger

Best for future-proofing

The same Autel MaxiCharger range we install commercially, scaled for the home. Robust, fast and ideal if you have a three-phase supply or two EVs on the drive.

  • 7kW to 22kW output
  • Dynamic load balancing
  • Rugged weatherproof build

A Fixed Price, With Nothing Hidden

You get a written, fixed quote after the survey — not a headline price that grows on the day. Standard home EV charger installation Chester, Deeside and Flintshire customers book with us includes everything below.

  • Free site survey — supply check, earthing check and grant eligibility confirmed.
  • The charger itself — your choice of Zappi, Pod Point or Autel, supplied and warranted.
  • Dedicated circuit & protection — new RCBO or consumer unit way, correctly rated cable.
  • Up to 10m of tidy cable run — clipped, trunked or buried as your property needs.
  • Testing, certification & DNO notification — plus app setup and a walkthrough.
  • Your £500 OZEV grant — claimed by us and deducted from the invoice.

How Long Will It Actually Take to Charge?

Nearly every UK home is on a single-phase supply, so a 7kW smart charger is the right answer — roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour, and a full battery every morning. A three-pin plug gives you about 8 miles an hour, which is why a proper charging point matters.

Charging methodPower0–100% (60kWh car)
Three-pin plug & extension2.3kW~26 hours
7kW home charging point recommended7.4kW~8 hours, overnight
22kW charger (three-phase only)22kW~3 hours

Figures are indicative for a 60kWh battery and vary with your vehicle's on-board charger. We confirm real-world times for your exact car on the survey.

Charge Your Car on Sunshine, Not Standing Charges

This is where being MCS and OZEV accredited pays off. Pair a smart charger with solar panels and your surplus generation goes into the car instead of back to the grid for pennies — self-consumption instead of export. Most homes we fit both for see their cheapest miles come from their own roof.

  • Surplus solar diversion — a Zappi sends spare PV straight to the car.
  • Off-peak scheduling — charge on a cheap night rate when the sun's not out.
  • Battery storage ready — store the day's generation and charge after dark.
  • One visit, one contractor — solar, charger and electrics by the same team.

Questions Homeowners Ask Us

How much does home EV charger installation cost?

It depends on the charger you choose, the state of your consumer unit and how far the cable has to run. A standard 7kW installation on a modern supply is a straightforward job, and the £500 OZEV grant comes off the total if you're eligible. We give you a fixed written price after a free survey — no day-of surprises.

Can I claim the £500 OZEV grant for a home charger?

Possibly — the EV Chargepoint Grant is worth up to £500 per socket from April 2026 and is aimed at renters, flat owners and landlords with off-street parking. As an OZEV approved installer we confirm your eligibility on the survey and submit the whole claim for you, deducting it from your invoice.

Do I need a 7kW or a 22kW charger at home?

Almost certainly 7kW. A 22kW charger needs a three-phase supply, which very few UK homes have, and most cars can't accept 22kW AC anyway. A 7kW smart charger adds roughly 25–30 miles of range per hour and fully charges overnight on a cheap tariff. We check your supply on the survey and tell you honestly.

How long does the installation take?

A typical home EV charger installation takes about 3 to 4 hours, and your power is only off briefly while we work on the consumer unit. If your property needs an earthing upgrade or a longer cable run we'll tell you at survey stage so there are no surprises on the day.

Which home charger is best — Zappi or Pod Point?

If you have solar panels, a Zappi — it diverts surplus solar into your car so those miles are free. If you want something simple and discreet that just charges on a cheap overnight rate, Pod Point is excellent. We're independent installers of both, plus Autel, so we recommend on merit rather than commission.

Can I charge my car from my solar panels?

Yes. With a solar-compatible smart charger such as a Zappi, surplus generation that would otherwise be exported goes into your car instead — self-consumption rather than export. As MCS certified solar installers and an OZEV approved EV charger installer, we can design and fit both together.

Do you cover my area?

From our Queensferry base on Deeside we cover Chester, Deeside, Connah's Quay, Buckley, Mold, Holywell, Flint, Wrexham and the wider Flintshire, North Wales and Cheshire area, including Ellesmere Port and Neston. Call 01244 470222 and we'll confirm straight away.

Do I get a certificate for the work?

Yes. Because we're NICEIC approved electrical contractors, you receive a full electrical installation certificate for the new circuit, tested to BS 7671 18th Edition, plus DNO notification. That's the documentation your home insurance and vehicle warranty may ask for — and something a non-electrician fitter can't issue.
