OZEV Grant Eligibility: Check Where You Stand

Renting or owning a flat, everything in place: you appear eligible

Based on OZEV's published rules you appear eligible (gov.uk), and you have what the application asks you to upload, apart from the installer's quote (Find a Grant). Get that quote from an OZEV-authorised installer, then apply on Find a Grant yourself (Find a Grant). Nothing can be installed until OZEV confirms you're eligible (Find a Grant).

Renting or owning a flat, something still missing

Based on OZEV's published rules you appear eligible, apart from these (gov.uk). Before you apply, you need:

• Parking that counts: off-street, private and clearly defined; it does not have to be part of the property (gov.uk).
• Written permission from your landlord or freeholder: Find a Grant asks for any necessary third-party permissions first (Find a Grant). Use our letter template.
• Your uploads: a utility bill under three months old, plus a signed and dated tenancy agreement if you rent (Find a Grant).

Not eligible for the household grant on these answers

• If you own the house you live in: you can't apply, unless it is converted into flats and you live in one (gov.uk). See our homeowners page.
• If you have no electric vehicle yet: one on order counts (gov.uk).
• If you've claimed before: you can't apply if you've already claimed the grant or its predecessors (gov.uk); OZEV decides.

The cost guide shows what affects the price without a grant.

On-street parking only: a different scheme

The household grant needs your home's own private off-street parking space (gov.uk). Homes that park on the street have a separate grant (Find a Grant), and Cornwall Council runs a cross-pavement channel scheme (Cornwall Council). See on-street charging in Cornwall.

It's for a business: a different scheme

See our workplace charging page.

Landlord, evidence ready

On your answers, your letting business meets the registration condition (Find a Grant), the property and parking appear to meet the landlord grant's conditions (gov.uk), and you have the evidence Find a Grant asks for, apart from the installer's quote (Find a Grant). Then apply on Find a Grant; nothing may be installed before OZEV confirms you're eligible (Find a Grant). See our landlord grant page.

Landlord, something still missing

On your answers, the property appears to meet the landlord grant's conditions, apart from these (gov.uk). You need:

• Parking that counts: off-street, private, clearly defined and accessible to your tenant (gov.uk).
• Your evidence: a current insurance policy (private landlords) or the Land Registry title (freeholders of a multi-unit property) (Find a Grant).

Landlord: the landlord grant isn't open to you (yet)

• Registration, if your answer was no or not sure: the landlord grant needs a business registered at Companies House or VAT registered with HMRC (Find a Grant), or a registered social housing provider (gov.uk). To check, search the Companies House register, or look for a VAT registration number from HMRC. If you aren't registered, your tenant can still apply under the renters and flat owners grant with your written permission (Find a Grant): see flats and renters and the permission letter.
• Only used for holiday accommodation: not eligible (gov.uk). See our holiday-let page.
• You live in the property: you can't apply (gov.uk).
• No off-street space your tenant can use: the space must be off-street and accessible to your tenant (gov.uk).
• A grant claimed here before: check gov.uk's landlord pages first (gov.uk); OZEV decides.
