With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) in Ireland, the government is making it easier than ever for homeowners to transition to electric driving. The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is a vital scheme that assists residents in installing a charge point on their property, providing up to €300 towards the cost of the charger unit and installation.
If you're considering installing an EV charger at your home, this grant is an excellent opportunity to reduce costs while embracing sustainable driving. Here's what you need to know about the scheme and how it can benefit you:
The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is available to homeowners, whether they own an EV or not. If you're a resident with an electric vehicle, the grant can help with the installation of a charging unit for your own use. However, the grant is also available to those who rent out properties or host visitors, meaning the charger can serve both personal and visitor needs.
This makes the scheme an ideal option for both permanent residents and those with properties used for short-term lets, offering flexibility for a wide range of individuals.
To ensure that the installed chargers meet modern technological and energy efficiency standards, the grant only supports the installation of smart chargers. These chargers are registered on the SEAI’s Smart Charger Register, ensuring that they comply with current standards.
Smart chargers allow homeowners to take advantage of features such as remote monitoring, scheduling, and load balancing, all of which help optimise energy use and reduce costs.
The grant also extends to third-party applicants, such as contractors or companies who may be applying on behalf of homeowners. This is particularly helpful for those who want to have a professional handle the installation process. If you're a contractor or part of a company looking to apply for the grant on behalf of a client, you’ll need to submit your CRO number to SEAI before proceeding.
Once approved, you’ll be able to assist residents in obtaining their grant and ensuring a smooth application process for both the charger and installation.
By installing a smart EV charger at your home, you're not just gaining a convenient charging solution — you're also contributing to Ireland's ambitious emission reduction targets. The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is a step towards reducing the carbon footprint of the country, and you can be part of that change.
EV drivers are playing an essential role in cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and with this grant, the government is helping make it easier to embrace sustainable driving.
Applying for the Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is simple and straightforward. You’ll need to use a Safe Electric Registered Electrical Contractor for the installation, ensuring that the work is done to the highest safety and quality standards.
For contractors, you’ll need to ensure that the charger is listed on the SEAI’s Smart Charger Register before applying for the grant. If you’re a third party applying on behalf of a homeowner, make sure to email SEAI with your company details and CRO number as per their instructions.
