Wandsworth grant FAQs
Do Wandsworth residents qualify for the £500 OZEV grant?
Yes — eligibility is determined by your housing situation, not your local council. Wandsworth residents who rent, own a leasehold flat, own a property without a driveway, or are landlords all qualify for the relevant 2026 OZEV scheme. The £500 applies UK-wide.
Does Wandsworth participate in ORCS?
Yes. Wandsworth participates in the On-Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme (ORCS), which provides council-led infrastructure (lamppost chargers, kerbside bollards) for residents without driveways. This is separate from the OZEV £500 individual grant.

Who claims the £500 grant in Wandsworth — me or the installer?
Always the installer. The OZEV grant is paid directly to your OZEV-authorised installer, who deducts £500 from your invoice. You never claim money from the government yourself. This applies the same way in Wandsworth as anywhere else in the UK.
