FAQ

This section of our website is designed to help answer some common questions relating to the Office of Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) - Grant schemes for the electric vehicle charging infrastructure


If this section doesn't answer your particular question, please don't hesitate to contact us and we will be more than happy to help.

  • Do I have to have a plug-in vehicle?

    Yes. You will need to be the registered keeper, leaseholder or be nominated as the primary user of an eligible electric vehicle.

  • Who is eligible to claim this grant?

    Eligibility is as follows:


    Individuals who have taken ownership of a new eligible electric vehicle on or after 1 October 2016 as long as they have not claimed against the previous chargepoint schemes.


    Individuals who have become registered keeper of a second-hand electric vehicle on or after 1 October 2016 are entitled to claim the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme Grant as long as they have not claimed against previous domestic chargepoint schemes;


    Individuals who are assigned a company car for at least six months on or after 1 October 2016;


    Individuals who lease an eligible vehicle for at least six months on or after 1 October 2016;


    Individuals who are named by their employer as the primary user of an eligible electric vehicle for at least six months on or after 1 October 2016. If the named individual changes within six months, a second grant cannot be claimed;


    Individuals who can prove that they have ordered an eligible electric vehicle and the vehicle will be received on or after 1 October 2016.

  • Do I have to pay upfront and claim it back?

    Green Leaf EV will claim the 75% (capped at £350) on your behalf. The remaining cost will be agreed with your prior to any work taking place. In any event, you should satisfy yourself whether you are expected to pay the remaining cost, and if not who will be paying for it, before the installation takes place. The grant will only be paid in arrears (i.e. once installation is complete).

  • How do I arrange for a chargepoint to be installed?

    You will need to contact Green Leaf Electrical using the contact form or contact details available on this website. 



    Your charging requirements will depend on the vehicle you wish to charge and the location of the chargepoint installation at your property so we advise you to discuss your needs with us.

  • Is there a limit on the number of chargepoints I can claim for?

    Yes. The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme grant is limited to one installation at a domestic residence per eligible vehicle, up to a maximum of two chargepoints at a single residence. In order to claim for two chargepoint units at the same address, the customer must have use of two eligible electric vehicles concurrently, which have not been used to claim previously under the EVHS or DRS by that customer. In addition, upon claiming your second chargepoint, you will need to provide the VRN of your first vehicle, or – where it is on order or is being leased privately or through your employer – valid evidence of ownership.

  • How do I know the chargepoint I get installed is eligible for the grant?

    A member of our team will advise you on the eligibility of the chargepoint you have chosen. The chargepoint installed must meet a minimum specification. Chargepoint installers and their chargepoints must be authorised by OLEV, (which Green Leaf EV are), this allows you to claim the grant. 

  • I have a vehicle with a 3-pin cable. Can I get a 3-pin socket installed?

    No. 3-pin socket installations or chargepoints with 3-pin sockets are not eligible for the grant.

  • I live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. Can I claim the grant?

    Yes.

  • I live outside the UK, but bought the vehicle in the UK. Can I claim the grant?

    No. The chargepoint must be installed at a UK address.

  • Can a householder move a chargepoint that has been installed under EVHS or the previous domestic chargepoint scheme?

    You must contact the DVLA at ChargePointGrantApps@dvla.gov.uk requesting permission to move the chargepoint, confirming the current post code and chargepoint  ID and providing the address and post code to which you wish to move the chargepoint so that our records can be updated. OLEV will not contribute to the costs of moving a chargepoint to a new address.

  • Why do you require so much information per grant claim?

    The Government are seeking to reduce the risk of fraudulent activity and ensure the value for money when spending public funds. They require enough evidence to demonstrate that a cost has been incurred and paid at market value in order to pay a grant in arrears. Any evidence of non-compliance, misrepresenting the grant, or inflating costs will be acted on and payments will not be made.
