Government grants are available for housing associations, offering up to £500 towards the purchase and installation of a charge point.

We will shortly be launching a consultation on ways to ensure more people have the ability to charge from home. This includes ways to support landlords and freeholders to provide timely permissions to install charge points.

Government is engaging with stakeholders to understand barriers and develop policy that will allow housing providers to provide scalable, affordable charging for their residents.
