Landlords to save up to £500 as Government increases EV charge point grants
Landlords and tenants will now be able to claim up to £500 in grant funding for the installation of an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger.
The figure represents around half the typical installation cost and represents a 40% increase in funding.
The cash pot will be avilable until March 2027 and is designed to ofset of one of the key barriers to installation - the upfront cost.
We have welcomed the funding announcement, which is good news for all landlords, renters and small businesses keen to embrace greater sustainability.
Increased confidence
NRLA chief executive Ben Beadle said the move will give landlords and tenants greater confidence to switch to electric vehicles, with landlords keen to support their tenants to make the changes.
He said: “Almost nine in ten landlords with a suitable property would install EV charge points if a tenant asks them to undertake this work.
"Given the extent of landlords’ willingness to provide them, we welcome the Government’s plans to encourage more widespread installation of these points across the sector.
"We urge landlords to make best use of the grants now available where it is feasible for them to do so."
