Claim up to €600 towards the purchase and installation of an electric vehicle home charger unit.
About the scheme
The Electric Vehicle Home Charger Grant is a government funded support scheme assisting residents and homeowners to install an electric vehicle charge point on their property. The scheme provides a grant up to the value of €600 towards the purchase and installation of a home charger unit. To receive payment, you must ensure that you use a Safe Electric Registered Electrical Contractor.
The grant is now open to homeowners to apply for a grant, whether they own an electric vehicle or not. This charge point can also be used for visitor use or at rented accommodation.
The EV Home Charger Grant Scheme will only support smart chargers which are registered on SEAI's Smart Charger Register.

How to save money

Electric Vehicle Grant Values
Privately bought EVs
A maximum grant of €3,500* is available for qualifying new M1 (passenger car) battery electric vehicles (BEVs) when purchased privately. Approved EVs with a full price of more than €60,000 and less than €14,000 will not receive a grant. The grant amount will depend on the list price of the vehicle. This is the full non-discounted price in the absence of VRT relief or grant support.
Commercially bought EVs
SEAI provides grant supports towards the purchase of new N1 (light commercial vehicle) category electric vehicles for business and public entities. N1 category vehicles are typically small goods carrying vans with a technically permissible maximum mass not exceeding 3500kg. For the purpose of the grant SEAI will classify these as N1S vehicles.
A maximum grant of €3,800 is available for qualifying N1S category BEVs when purchased commercially. Approved BEVs with a list price of over €60,000 or less than €14,000 will not receive a grant. It should be noted that these grants apply to new vehicles only and cannot be claimed on second hand vehicles.
