From April 2022, the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) will no longer be open to homeowners (including people with mortgages) who live in single-unit properties such as bungalows and detached, semi-detached or terraced housing (source Gov.UK).

To get the EVHS grant, the wall charging unit has to be installed by a supplier approved by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) who will then be able to claim for the grant on the homeowner’s behalf.

The current April 2022 sees two very important changes:

  1. The UK Government focus is shifting from providing support to homeowner in favour of renters and apartments.
  2. An increase in demand for non OZEV supplier to install wall EV car charging units as the EVHS grant is coming to an end in April 2022.

Demand for EV car charging points is set to increase

The number of EV car registrations continues to increase year after year. With the end of the EV Government grant in April 2022, the demand for EV car charging point installation is set to increase as more homeowners will now shop around to find the best supplier irrespective of the scheme associate OZEV.
