How to find an approved charge point installer
To be eligible for the funding, your installer must be approved by both Energy Saving Trust and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). Installers must successfully complete our onboarding process to be added to our list of eligible installers.
See the full list of approved installers.
All installers on our list are approved by the electric vehicle consumer code for home charge points (EVCC). Visit the EVCC website to learn more and find EVCC members.
You’ve applied for chargepoint funding – what happens next?
- You’ll receive a decision on your application within 10 working days.
- If your application is approved, we’ll email you a grant offer letter, including instructions to claim your funds.
- After you have received the grant offer, you can arrange the installation of the charge point. Don’t start the installation until after you have received the grant offer.
- Once the installation is complete, you’ll get an invoice and electric installation certificate (EIC) from your installer.
- Once you have your paid invoice and EIC ready, you’ll upload these to your customer portal; the link is provided in your grant offer letter.
- We aim to process your claim and make payment to your nominated bank account within 15 working days.
Remember, if you change your installer or receive a new quote for installation, you must let us know as soon as possible, so that we can ensure eligibility requirements are met, and you can still receive payment.
