"Terms and conditions for customers, installers or installer representatives applying for or claiming OZEV home or workplace grants."
The page carries a publication date of 25 February 2026 and lists a single HTML document under its documents heading, titled "OZEV home and workplace grants terms and conditions"1. No grant rates, eligibility criteria, named schemes or payment amounts are given on the page as published1. The page does not state which specific OZEV grant schemes the terms and conditions apply to, nor whether they replace earlier terms1. Those details have not been reported on the page.
Why it matters for households
OZEV grants sit behind a large share of domestic chargepoint installations, and the terms and conditions are the document that governs whether a claim is valid, what an installer must evidence and what happens if a condition is not met. For a household weighing up a home chargepoint, the terms and conditions determine who can apply, what the installer must be and what the customer must keep or declare. Until the document is read alongside a specific scheme's rules, the practical effect on any individual installation is unclear from the publication alone1.
The terms and conditions also matter where a home chargepoint is intended to run alongside solar panels or a home battery, because grant conditions can attach to the equipment installed and to who carries out the work. Households looking at the wider picture of funded home energy work can compare this with the full guide to home energy grants and schemes and with grants, schemes and household energy independence. Charging arrangements themselves are covered in the EV charging hub and in charging an EV from solar panels.
