The UK government’s Electric Vehicle Chargepoint Grant (EVCG) has helped fund the installation of over 7,700 home charging points across the country.

The good news is that the EVCG caters to a wide range of situations. Whether you’re a homeowner with a flat, a renter, a residential car park owner, or a landlord, there’s a grant opportunity for you. Here’s a breakdown of the current statistics:
