OZEV Grant Eligibility for Homes, Flats, and Landlords
The OZEV Homecharge Scheme offers up to £350 off the cost of installing a home EV charger. To qualify, the property must meet specific criteria, and an OZEV-approved installer must complete the installation. Diligent Electrical Contractors ensures full compliance with the grant process. Below are the eligibility rules, explained clearly for each case:
- Homeowners with private driveways: You must own the property and have a private, off-street parking space where the charger will be installed.
- Landlords installing for tenants: You can claim grants for up to 200 properties. Each must have off-street parking and be registered as a rental property.
- Flat Owners with building permission: If you own a flat and have approval from your building manager or freeholder, you may be eligible if the property includes off-street parking.
Tethered vs Untethered EV Chargers
When choosing an EV charger, one of the first decisions is whether to go with a tethered or untethered unit. A tethered charger has a built-in charging cable that is permanently attached to the unit. You simply plug the cable into your car whenever you need to charge. An untethered charger, on the other hand, does not include a fixed cable. Instead, you use your own Type 2 charging cable, which plugs into the charger and the car as needed. Both types are equally safe and effective, but your choice depends on convenience, appearance, and daily charging habits.
| Feature | Tethered (Fixed Cable) | Untethered (Removable Cable) |
|---|---|---|
| Setup Speed | Faster | Slightly longer |
| Appearance | Bulky | Sleek |
| Theft Risk | Lower | Moderate |
