OLEV grant scheme - Manchester

Manchester OLEV Grant Scheme.

Residents across Manchester and Greater Manchester can claim up to £500 off the cost of a home EV charger through the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant. We connect you with OZEV-authorised installers who handle the grant application on your behalf.

Grant renamed, not removed. The OLEV grant was rebranded in 2022 as the OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant when the Office for Low Emission Vehicles (OLEV) became the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). The scheme is still active - the name is the only thing that changed.

OZEV EV Charger Grant in Manchester

The OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant (formerly the OLEV/EVHS grant) is available to eligible households across Manchester and the wider Greater Manchester area. The scheme covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost of a dedicated home EV chargepoint, up to a maximum of £500 per installation. If you rent or own a leasehold flat in Manchester, you could pay as little as a few hundred pounds for a fully installed smart charger.

Who qualifies in Manchester?

The grant is open to the following in the Manchester area:

  • Renters - private and social tenants across Manchester and Greater Manchester
  • Leasehold flat owners (e.g. apartments in city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport)
  • Landlords installing chargepoints for their tenants
  • Social housing providers with eligible properties
  • All applicants must have dedicated off-street parking at the property

Freehold homeowners are not eligible for the home grant. If you own a business with off-street parking in the Manchester area, you may qualify for the Workplace Charging Scheme instead - ask us when you get a quote.
