In order to be eligible for OZEV EV chargepoint grants, chargepoints must meet certain technical requirements.

This document specifies the minimum technical requirements for commercial chargepoints.

Chargepoints need to meet these standards to be eligible for the following grants:

• Workplace Charging Scheme

There is a different minimum technical specification for residential chargepoints.

Manufacturers need to register their chargepoints with OZEV to be eligible for these grants. You will need to prove that a chargepoint meets the minimum standards set out in this document as part of the registration process.

Read separate guidance about registering a chargepoint so it is eligible for OZEV grants.

Where standards or regulations are mentioned, you must comply with the most current edition at the time of the installation. In cases of apparent inconsistency, the聽+聽take precedence for electrical installation requirements.

Installation

This specification is for the charging equipment only and not the final installation.

But you must carry out the final installation in accordance with:

• IET Wiring Regulations - if installed before 31 July 2020 or BS 7671:2018+A1:2020 if installed after 31 July 2020
• the recommendations of the
• all other applicable standards

If you鈥檙e installing on a public highway, you must use a contractor registered through the .

Charging equipment must be installed in accordance with .

The electrical supply of the final installation must allow the charging equipment to operate at full rated capacity. Where local supply constraints prevent this, the charging equipment shall be classified according to actual output capacity.

The equipment will permit chargepoints to be installed in compliance with . The design must consider the needs of electric vehicle (EV) drivers who may be disabled or have mobility issues

Charging equipment

Common requirements
