Changes to the EVHS are due to come into effect in April 2022.
The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme currently provides a 75% contribution (or up to £350 inc.vat) towards the purchase and installation of Electric Vehicle chargers at their home. Currently requirements inlcude that the customer owns, leases, or has ordered a qualifying vehicle and has dedicated off-street parking at their property. The customer must also use an EVHS installer who will check the customer's eligibility for the scheme and make an application on their behalf.
However, from April 2022, the EVHS will no longer be open to homeowners(including people with mortgages) who live in single-unit properties. This includes bungalows and detached, semi-detached or terraced houses.
Installations in single-unit properties must be completed by 31 March 2022 and claims submitted to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) by 30 April 2022.
The EVHS scheme will remain open to:
- homeowners who live in flats
- people in rental accommodation (flats and single-use properties)
You can find out more about the changes to the EVHS scheme on the gov.uk website.
