As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, the need for accessible and affordable charging infrastructure is greater than ever. To support this transition, the UK Government is offering two EV Charge point grants designed to make it easier for landlords, renters, or flat owners to install charging points at their properties. The application deadline has been extended to 31 March 2026, providing additional time to take advantage of these grants. Here’s everything you need to know.​

Section 1: EV Charge point and Infrastructure Grant for Landlords

What Is It?

The EV Charge point and Infrastructure Grant for Landlords provides funding to support the installation of EV charge points and the necessary infrastructure in residential rental properties. This scheme is part of the government’s efforts to promote EV adoption by making charging more accessible for tenants.​

Eligibility Criteria

• Who can apply: Residential landlords, right-to-manage (RTM) companies, residents’ management companies (RMC), private registered providers of social housing (PRP), public sector organisations, charities managing or owning residential property, and registered social housing providers in England or registered property factors in Scotland. ​
• Property requirements: The property must be rented out and meet the scheme’s eligibility requirements. Applications can be submitted for multiple properties, making it ideal for landlords with large portfolios.​

Benefits for Landlords

• Attract environmentally conscious tenants: Offering EV charging facilities can make your property more appealing to tenants who own or plan to own electric vehicles.​
• Increase property value: EV infrastructure is seen as a valuable asset, future-proofing your property as EV adoption grows.​
• Government support: The grant reduces the financial burden of installing charge points and associated infrastructure.​
