<p>The Government recognises that not being able to recharge at home can dissuade
drivers form making the switch to electric. Government’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge
Scheme supports eligible electric vehicle owners with up to £500 towards the costs
of installing a chargepoint in domestic properties, including in blocks of flats.</p><p>
</p><p>In addition, as announced in November 2017 in the Industrial Strategy, Building
Regulations will be amended to ensure that cabling infrastructure is provided for
chargepoints when new dwellings are built, to help future-proof new homes and avoid
retrofitting costs.</p><p> </p><p>For those without off-street parking facilities,
Government’s On-street Residential Chargepoint Scheme also provides grant funding
for local authorities towards the cost of installing on-street residential chargepoints
for plug-in electric vehicles.</p><p> </p>
