The National Residential Landlords Association is highlighting an opportunity for landlords to claim a grant up to £500 for installing an Electric Vehicle (EV) charger.
The figure represents around half the typical installation cost and represents a 40% increase in funding.
The funding is available until March 2027 and aims to help with the up-front cost of installation.
The NRLA says the move will give landlords and tenants greater confidence to switch to TVs.
“Almost nine in 10 landlords with a suitable property would install EV charge points if a tenant asks them to undertake this work” explains association chief executive Ben Beadle.
“Given the extent of landlords’ willingness to provide them, we welcome the Government’s plans to encourage more widespread installation of these points across the sector.
“We urge landlords to make best use of the grants now available where it is feasible for them to do so.”
Before the end of this month (March) landlords applyvia the OZEV portal here.
From April 1 applications should be made on the government’s Find a Grant service.
