OLEV Approved Electric Vehicle Home Charge Point Installer
* Please Note: In March 2020 the UK Government announced that the OLEV Grant available for new installations of EV Charge Points from 1st April 2020 will reduce from a maximum value of £500.00 to £350.00. Accordingly all new quotations that we give to customers will now be set at the OLEV grant rate of £350.00
Stirling Electrical Services Ltd. are an OLEV (Office for Low Emission Vehicles) approved installer for your home charge point.
We check your eligibility and apply for the OLEV grant on your behalf. Currently the OLEV grant contributes up to 75% (capped at £350.00* including VAT) of your charge point installation which must be installed by an approved OLEV installer such as Stirling Electrical Services Ltd.
We apply and retain the OLEV grant at the end of your installation as the grant amount will have been deducted from your installation cost.
For eligible households in Scotland an additional £300 grant is available via the Energy Savings Trust - view more information, which means you can receive up to £650.00 towards the cost of your electric vehicle charge point installation.

Property and Off-street Parking Eligibility
The OLEV EVHS grant is for domestic properties only.
The customer must be resident at the property. This will be checked via vehicle registration details. Where the link between the customer and the property is unclear, additional supporting evidence may be required (for example, a utility bill).
Any necessary third-party permissions (such as from a freeholder or managing agent of a block of flats) must be obtained by the customer before an installation occurs. This will be needed for rented or leasehold properties where it’s the renter or the leaseholder applying.
Where an installation requires cabling or other parts of the installation to be placed in or on another person’s property, or public land, access rights and permissions must be agreed by all parties using legally binding arrangements, such as legal covenants, before an installation begins.
The customer’s property must have designated, private off-street parking. This may be co-located with the property or separate from it. Where the parking is separate, the customer must be able to demonstrate that they have a legal entitlement to the parking space through the provision of land registry title deeds.
The parking must be suitable for a chargepoint installation (a survey before installation must be conducted by the installer). The parking must be able to permit an eligible vehicle to be charged safely. The customer must be able to access the parking space at all times.
