Newcastle OLEV Grant Scheme.

OZEV EV Charger Grant in Newcastle

The OZEV EV Chargepoint Grant (formerly known as the OLEV grant) covers 75% of the purchase and installation cost of a home EV charger, up to a maximum of £500 per installation. The grant is available to eligible renters and flat owners across Newcastle upon Tyne and the wider Tyne and Wear area - you do not need to be a homeowner to claim it.

• Private and social renters living in Newcastle or Tyne and Wear

OZEV-authorised installers in Newcastle

We work with OZEV-authorised electricians across Newcastle upon Tyne and the surrounding Tyne and Wear area, covering postcodes including NE1–NE13 and beyond.

How to apply for the grant in Newcastle

You do not apply for the OZEV grant yourself. Once you have been matched with an OZEV-authorised installer, they will confirm your eligibility, submit the application to OZEV on your behalf, and deduct the grant value from the price you pay. You simply pay the remaining balance after the grant has been applied. The process is straightforward - most Newcastle customers find it takes only a few days from first contact to confirmed installation date.
