What does the grant offer?
The factored development charge point grant is funded by Transport Scotland and managed by Energy Saving Trust. Grant funding is available to help households living in factored developments to install charging infrastructure for electric vehicles (EVs).
The grant can cover up to 100% of the purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £20,000 per project.
This support is designed to remove cost barriers and help individuals and households take practical steps towards cleaner, more sustainable travel.
Who can apply?
We accept applications from property managers or factors who manage communal parking for residential properties in Scotland.
Represent the interests of owners of a residential property in Scotland with private communal parking facilities such as Housing Associations, Retirement Communities and Student Halls.
All applicant organisations must have consent and authority to apply for funding from the owners of the property where installation of funded charge points will take place.

How do I apply?
To apply, simply follow the link below and fill out our online application form.
Payment terms are between you and your installer. However, we don’t recommend paying until the charge point has been installed. We will only reimburse you after installation has been completed and commissioned.
To be eligible for funding, your installer must be deemed eligible by Energy Saving Trust and by OZEV.
We welcome applications from new installers to be added to our list. They can read about this process on our eligible installers webpage.
From application to appearing on our list, our onboarding process can take up to 15 working days.
You’ll receive a decision on your application within 8 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 email these to us.
We aim to process claims within 8 working days. Assuming there are no delays due to missing or inaccurate information in your claim, your payment will be made within 10 working days.
OZEV funding
Further funding to install charging infrastructure at a flatted development may be available from OZEV.
You should speak with your chosen installer about any potential funding from OZEV.
Energy Saving Trust is not responsible for, nor associated with, any additional external funding you might access.
