The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme offered a contribution, widely remembered as £350, towards a home chargepoint for eligible households. That broad homeowner offer is not the scheme to budget against now. Later OZEV support has focused on groups such as renters, flats and workplaces. If a seller, a forum or a quote still subtracts £350 from every driveway, treat that as out of date until GOV.UK says otherwise in the current guidance.
How is the £350 EVHS grant still available moves the job
Building a budget that needs the £350 to 'work' will hurt if the claim is impossible. Price the full install, then treat any grant as a bonus you have checked.
What goes wrong with is the £350 EVHS grant still available
The mistake is sending an old EVHS form, or paying a company a fee to 'recover' a closed voucher.
Point at is the £350 EVHS grant still available in the pack
Keep a screenshot of the GOV.UK eligibility page on the day you decide. It beats an argument later about what a sales email promised.
Is the £350 EVHS grant still available
Open the live chargepoint grant page and read who can apply. If your case is an owner-occupied house with its own drive, expect to fund the install unless a current scheme clearly includes you.
- The famous £350 was a specific old scheme
- Do not subtract it by default in 2026
- Check live eligibility
- Price the job without the grant first
Is the £350 EVHS grant still available: questions for the first visit
Ask the installer to remove any grant line that they cannot tie to a scheme name and a rule you meet. A discount disguised as a grant is just a discount: fine if it is real, misleading if it depends on a voucher you will not get.
Frequently asked questions
Could a new scheme use the same number?
Governments change amounts. Only the figure published for a scheme you qualify for is real.
I installed years ago under EVHS. Is that invalid?
No. Past claims that were valid at the time stay valid. This is about new budgets.
My installer insists it is still there.
Ask them for the current GOV.UK URL. If they cannot produce it, do not rely on the discount.
Are flat grants the same £350?
Do not assume the amount. Flat and renter schemes have their own caps. Read them.
