With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming increasingly popular across Ireland, the government has introduced an initiative to make home charging more accessible and affordable. The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant offers up to €300 towards the cost of installing a home charging unit, making it easier for homeowners to embrace the future of sustainable driving.
Whether you’re an EV owner or simply planning for the future, this grant provides a practical and cost-effective way to equip your property with smart charging infrastructure. Here's an expanded look at what the scheme offers and how you can benefit:
The grant is open to a variety of homeowners, including those who may not yet own an EV.
Primary residences: Homeowners can install chargers for their personal use, future-proofing their property for an electric transition.
Landlords and short-term let owners: If you rent out your property or host visitors, the charger can enhance its appeal and convenience for tenants or guests.
This flexibility makes the grant ideal for both long-term planners and those looking to attract eco-conscious renters.
To ensure energy efficiency and future readiness, the grant supports only smart chargers that meet SEAI (Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland) standards.
Advanced features: Smart chargers enable scheduling, load balancing, and remote monitoring, helping users optimise charging times and reduce electricity costs.
Quality assurance: All eligible chargers must be on SEAI’s Smart Charger Register, ensuring they meet high technological and safety standards.
Installing a smart charger not only supports sustainability but also offers long-term cost savings for EV owners.
The scheme isn’t just for homeowners—it’s also accessible to contractors or businesses applying on their behalf.
Simplified process for contractors: Companies can apply for the grant on behalf of clients, streamlining the installation process.
Required steps: Contractors must provide their CRO (Companies Registration Office) number and ensure that chargers are listed on SEAI’s approved register.
This makes it easier for homeowners to delegate the application and installation process to trusted professionals.
By installing an EV charger, you’re contributing to Ireland’s ambitious climate action plan, which includes significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
Lower carbon footprint: Supporting EV adoption through home charging reduces dependency on fossil fuels.
National impact: Every charger installed plays a role in Ireland’s transition to cleaner energy and sustainable transport.
This is more than a convenience—it’s a tangible way to contribute to a greener future.
Applying for the Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is designed to be as simple as possible.
Requirements: Use a Safe Electric Registered Electrical Contractor to ensure safety and compliance during installation.
Steps for third-party applicants: Contractors applying on behalf of homeowners must email SEAI with company details, including their CRO number, before proceeding.
Comprehensive support: Detailed guidelines and resources are available on SEAI’s official website.
