Landlords can claim 75% of the cost of EV chargepoints at rental properties — up to £500 per socket — but the scheme is in its final year, closing 31 March 2027.
The Landlord Chargepoint Grant: £500 per socket, final year
EV charging is fast becoming a tenant expectation. The Residential Landlord Chargepoint Grant helps landlords meet it at a fraction of the cost — and as of 1 April 2026 the rate rose to £500 per socket.
The scheme covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost, up to £500 per socket, and you can claim for multiple sockets across your properties — making it genuinely useful for portfolio landlords and property-management companies, not just single units.
⏰ It closes 31 March 2027
Like the other OZEV grants, this one has been extended for a final year and closes on 31 March 2027. After that, the funding route ends. Landlords electrifying parking across a portfolio should plan installs while the grant is live.
What you get
- 75% of cost, capped at £500 per socket
- Claimable for multiple sockets across your rental properties
- Available to residential landlords, including social housing providers and property-management companies
Why it matters for landlords
- Tenant demand: EV-ready parking is increasingly a deciding factor for renters and a differentiator for your properties.
- Asset value: charging infrastructure adds long-term value and future-proofs parking.
- Portfolio scale: because you can claim across multiple properties, the savings compound for landlords with several sites.
How to claim
Applications are made through the government's Find a Grant platform, and the work must be carried out by an OZEV-authorised installer — you can't claim directly. Energy Partners handles the application and installation across your portfolio, with £0 upfront through grant funding and nationwide deployment.
