Grants available in Bournemouth
If you rent your home or own a flat with private off-street parking, you may qualify for the OZEV EV chargepoint grant covering 75% of installation costs (up to £350 per socket).
Households that only have on-street parking can claim up to £350 towards a cross-pavement charging solution (such as a cable gully), letting you charge an EV from home safely without trailing cables across the pavement.
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) helps UK businesses, charities and public sector organisations cover the upfront cost of installing EV chargepoints at their sites.
Landlords of residential or commercial properties in the UK can claim £350 towards every EV chargepoint socket installed, helping you future-proof your portfolio for EV-driving tenants.
State-funded education institutions receive an enhanced EV chargepoint grant — £2,500 per socket, up to 40 sockets per applicant — to help electrify staff, visitor and fleet parking.
The Electric Car Grant supports the purchase of eligible new zero-emission cars in the UK. The discount is applied directly by the seller — no separate application is required.
How EV chargepoint grants work in Bournemouth
The grants are administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and apply UK-wide, so residents of Bournemouth qualify on the same terms as anywhere else in England. The grant is claimed by your OZEV-authorised installer and deducted directly from your invoice — you don't pay the full amount up front and claim it back.
Local factors that matter in Bournemouth: whether your property has private off-street parking, whether Bournemouth council permits cross-pavement charging solutions for on-street homes, and which OZEV-authorised installers operate locally.
