Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme

To help private plug-in vehicle owners offset some of the upfront cost of the purchase and installation of a dedicated domestic recharging unit the Government is running the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme.

The Office for low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) provide the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. Customers who are the registered keeper, lessee or have primary use of an eligible electric vehicle and hybrid (PHEV) vehicles registered in the keepers name from 1st October 2016 may be eligible for this scheme.

The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) provides a grant for a 75% contribution towards the cost of one chargepoint and its installation up to a maximum of £350.

EVHS Key features:

• 75% Contribution up to £350.
• The grant must only be claimed by installers which have been authorised by OLEV and have approval from a chargepoint manufacturer to install their accredited equipment.
• South Coast Charging will make the claim on your behalf as an approved ROLEC installer which has been authorised by the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV).
• Eligible for homeowners who live in flats or people in rental accommodation.
• Customers must provide evidence of keepership, lease, be named as the primary user of an eligible electric vehicle or have a vehicle on order in order to be able to qualify for the grant.
• The installation address must have designated private off-street parking with good access for an eligible vehicle to be charged safely.
