Property managers can get up to 50% towards the cost of buying and installing electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at communal residential parking areas in Scotland.

The funding helps people living in factored developments to have better access to EV charging.

Please note, only people who manage communal parking for residential properties, known as a property manager or property factor, can apply for the funding.

How to find an approved charge point installer

To be eligible for funding, charge points must be installed by an installer who is approved by both Energy Saving Trust and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Search our list of approved installers to find one in your area.

You should agree on payment terms with your chosen installer before you apply for the funding. We don’t recommend that you pay before the charge point(s) are installed. We will only reimburse you after the installation has been completed, signed off as operational and commissioned.

If there’s an installer that you’d like to use who isn’t on our list of approved installers, they will need to complete our onboarding process first. The approved installer list shouldn’t replace your standard procurement checks and due diligence.

Please forward our approved installer process to them. This tells them the information we need and how to apply.

If you have any questions, email us at electricvehiclesscotland@est.org.uk.
1. If your application is approved, we will issue you with a grant offer letter.
2. Once you have this, you can arrange a date for the work with your chosen installer. Remember, you must not install your chargepoint before you receive your grant offer. If you do this, you won’t be eligible to receive the funding.
3. If your costs go up after receiving your grant offer letter, please tell us as soon as possible. If you change installers without telling us or without having your new quote approved, we will withdraw your grant offer.
4. Once the work is complete, your installer will provide you with an invoice along with an electrical installation certificate.
5. Once you’ve paid for the installation, you’ll receive a paid invoice from your installer. Please follow the instructions provided with your grant offer letter. You’ll also need to send us your completed claim form, paid invoice and electrical installation certificate, so that we can process your claim.

OZEV funding

OZEV also offers funding for flatted developments. You may be eligible for other OZEV funding in addition to our funding.

You should speak with your chosen installer about any potential funding from OZEV.

We are not responsible for any additional external funding you may wish to access.
