Could/should the OLEV EV charging point grant be scrapped?

Could/should the OLEV EV charging point grant be scrapped?


With the potential financial situation the country is facing could/should the OLEV EV charging point grant be scrapped? Given the level of debt the government is racking up it seems an appropriate time to say that actually people buying cars should cover the associated costs themselves without a subsidy.


If the grants are scrapped I think it would be a huge incentive for more electricians to become involved in installing EV charging points.

  • I think a photo of the DNO intake at my house is enough for an OLEV grant application to be rejected.

    So as a contractor I probably would not want to do a free site survey for installing an EV charger at home until the DNO have upgraded the supply.


    Ignore the display on the data logger, I have been going to start a discussion about that for the last week or so.
