The Government is continuing to provide grants to encourage people to charge at home overnight, and it is our intention that all new homes, where appropriate, should have a chargepoint available. Through the Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS) the Government provides a grant of up to £350 towards the installation of domestic chargers. To date over 130,000 domestic chargepoint installations have benefited from HMG grants.
