Commercial Landlord Chargepoint Grant

The Commercial Landlord Chargepoint Grant closed to new applications on 31 March 2026. However, newer grants have superseded this scheme, which you may be eligible for.

The Commercial Landlord Chargepoint Grant supported landlords who owned or managed property let or leased to a business that paid business rates. It paid 75% of cost up to £350 per socket, with a cap of 100 sockets per year per landlord. Chargepoints had to be for the tenant business’s staff or vehicles only - not public - and each parking space had to be off-street, private and clearly defined.

It sat alongside the (also-closed) Residential Landlord Infrastructure Grant and the Workplace Charging Scheme. A landlord with both residential and commercial tenants could draw on multiple schemes if eligibility evidence stacked up correctly. That stacking is no longer available because two of the three schemes have closed.

New customer applications are not being accepted. If you applied before 31 March 2026, the installer claim window is still open under closed-scheme transition rules:

• 26 May 2026: final installer claim submission deadline.
• 6 July 2026: final resubmission deadline if OZEV requests further evidence on a claim.

After 6 July 2026 the scheme is fully closed.

There is no direct replacement for the Commercial Landlord Chargepoint Grant. The scheme had a specific niche (landlords leasing to business tenants) that the new five-grant portfolio doesn’t cover head-on. There are three options:

• Workplace Charging Scheme: if the chargers will be used by your business tenants’ staff and you can apply on their behalf or alongside them. The WCS covers £500 per socket × 40 sockets. The applicant is the business tenant or workplace operator, not you as landlord.
• Depot Charging Scheme: if the chargers are for your tenants’ commercial fleet (vans, HGVs, coaches), the DCS covers up to £1m and 70% of cost. Tenant fleet operators apply directly.
• Residential Landlord Chargepoint Grant: if your property is mixed-use and includes residential lets, you can apply for the £500 × 200 sockets per year grant on the residential side.

For purely commercial-let landlords with no fleet tenants and no residential element, there is no current OZEV grant you can take advantage of, however your tenants may still be able to claim WCS or DCS.
