ELECTRIC CAR CHARGING POINT GRANT.
A charging point could really help speed things up when it comes to recharging your electric car, with some points taking just three hours to charge from 0-80%. There’s a selection of grants available to help owners and businesses with the cost of purchasing and installing charging points.
HOME CHARGING POINT GRANT.
If you have off-street parking and live in rental accommodation or own a flat, you could qualify for the government EV chargepoint grant.
The EV chargepoint grant pays 75% towards the cost and installation of a home chargepoint unit outside your flat or rental accommodation (up to a maximum of £350). Thanks to its ultra-low emissions, MINI Electric has been approved by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), which makes it eligible for the scheme.
To qualify for the grant you need to be able to prove that you’re the driver who’s purchasing, or leasing, a qualifying car like MINI Electric. You’ll also need dedicated off-street parking outside your flat or rental accommodation and the installer must confirm ownership of the property.

WORKPLACE CHARGING SCHEME.
Registered businesses, charities and public sector organisations can help their workforce charge up easily thanks to the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS).
The scheme is voucher-based, offering applicants a maximum of £350 towards each charging point, and helps with the upfront cost of making your workplace electric car friendly. You can apply for up to 40 charging points across all of your companies’ sites.
To be eligible you’ll need to prove that you’re a registered business in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland with your Companies House reference number. You’ll also need to let them know you have a genuine need for electric vehicle charging equipment, or are intending to encourage uptake with your staff.
