EVHS grant additional work

[bristollspark]

Hi all, with regards to the EVHS grant amount, does the grant include any additional work required, for example if the bonding arrangements were not present ?, I understand about rcd, pen fault protection etc, advice greatly appreciated.

Yes, any work required to install a safe and compliant charger, so if the work requires bonding upgrade or new consumer unit it raises the costs but the grant is still capped at £350.

many thanks gavin for the information, I don't yet have any installs booked in, plus I need to buy new test equipment to enable me to test the charge equipment.
always money.

Have a look at the paperwork involved BristolSpark. You have to fill out a lot of forms in order to claim the grant. For this reason I have personally given up on offering the grant when I install EV's, also I am still waiting for my first payment 6 months on from my first install.

However, Gavin (above) has become very successful at navigating the OZEV process, so it is possible. I guess you will give it a go and see if it is for you. Remember the EVHS grant for private owned/occupied homes stops in March.

I took a look at the paper work involved, lots of it. I can't wait for the grant to end in March for the private sector. there is still the grant for private landlords. so will consider that too. less paperwork is a bonus In my eyes. I still need to buy a another mft and the ev adapter. as my mft won't test to 6mA.
