Chargepoint manufacturer CTEK is advising businesses and individuals to act fast if they want to benefit from financial incentives for installing EV chargepoints, many of which have less than one year to run.
Grants available from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) that are due to close on 31 March 2025 include:
- The Workplace Charging Scheme: offering businesses, charities and public sector employers up to £350 per charging socket, for up to 40 sockets in total across each applicant’s site or sites.

- Chargepoint and infrastructure grants for landlords: up to £350 per socket, with a maximum of 200 grants a year for residential properties and a further 100 for commercial properties. Infrastructure grants for the wider work needed to install multiple chargepoints are £500 per parking space, for chargepoints installed now or envisaged in the future.
- For renters or flat owners: up to £350 to install a chargepoint at a dedicated off- street parking space.

Daniel Forsberg, Marketing Manager EVSE at CTEK, said: “Applying for these grants involves partnering with OZEV- approved installers and, in some cases, directly with OZEV. Our UK team of experts are on hand to help installers and their customers with technical and operational advice and information.”
