The Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EHVS) has been available since October 2016, providing a grant of up to £500 towards the cost of a home chargepoint for purchasers of new or second hand eligible electric vehicles. Demand has increased significantly which has led to the Office of Low Emission Vehicles processing a higher than usual number of applications. As the market for electric vehicles continues to grow the Government will keep the scheme under review and implement operational improvements where appropriate.
