Under 100 days to go for UK EV charge point grants
Fleets have fewer than 100 days left to apply for UK government grants for electric vehicle charge point installations, charge point manufacturer CTEK has highlighted.
Most of the incentives still available from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) have a deadline of 31 March 2025, giving businesses, landlords, flat owners, renters and households who park on the street fewer less than four months to apply for the hundreds of pounds available for each charge point installed.
The grants with fewer than 100 days left to run are:

Daniel Forsberg, marketing manager EVSE at CTEK, said: “With no extension or replacement for the grants announced to date, the countdown clock is ticking on applying for these valuable incentives.
“Whether you are a landlord, a flat owner, an employer or anyone else who could benefit, now is the time to talk to an OZEV-registered installer about what to install and where.
“Installers and their customers should be looking to install futureproofed hardware, such as CTEK’s CC3 charge point, which has the latest communication and security standards which is primed for the next innovations in EV charging such as Autocharge and Plug & Charge.
“That way employers, renters, flat owners and landlords can confidently invest in EV charging that can be easily installed and will be reliable and current for many years to come.”
