Thinking about installing an EV charger at home or at your business in Norfolk? Good news: in 2025 there are several UK government grants to reduce the cost — plus council-led programmes bringing more public charging to places like Norwich, Fakenham, King’s Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Dereham, Thetford, Wymondham, Attleborough, Cromer, North Walsham and Downham Market.
Below we explain each grant in plain English, who’s eligible, how much you can claim, and how to get started in Norfolk.
What it is: A UK government grant (via OZEV) that gives up to £350 off the cost of buying and installing a home charge point if you rent or own a flat. You must use an OZEV-authorised installer and meet the eligibility rules. Read More
New for 2024/25: There’s also a route for homes with on-street parking using a compliant cross-pavement solution (e.g., a charging gully) — up to £350 per socket. Read More
Who it helps in Norfolk: Tenants in apartments in Norwich city centre, renters in terraced streets in King’s Lynn or Great Yarmouth without driveways, and flat owners across Fakenham, Attleborough, and Dereham.
What it is: Support for landlords to install charge points and, where needed, the underlying wiring/conduits in residential and commercial car parks (e.g., blocks of flats in Wymondham or mixed-use sites in Norwich). Read More
Allowances (2025)
Chargepoint grant: Up to £350 per socket (or 75% of cost). Annual caps: 200 residential + 100 commercial property grants per landlord.
Infrastructure grant: Up to £30,000 per property to help prepare multiple bays (trunking, cabling, posts) so future chargers are “EV-ready”.
Where it helps: Apartment blocks in Norwich, seaside flats in Cromer, town-centre developments in North Walsham and Downham Market.
What it is: A voucher scheme for businesses, charities and public-sector bodies to cut the cost of workplace chargers for staff and fleet vehicles. Great for SMEs in Thetford, retailers in Great Yarmouth, and industrial estates around King’s Lynn. Read More
Funding level: Up to 75% of purchase & install, capped at £350 per socket, up to 40 sockets per applicant across sites. Read More
What it is: Extra help for small and medium-sized businesses (≤249 employees) to fund the infrastructure (not just chargers) at staff/fleet car parks — ideal if you’re planning multiple bays at your depot in Norwich, showroom in Dereham, or office in Attleborough.
Up to £15,000 (covers 75% of eligible costs)
Up to £350 per socket installed
Up to £500 per parking space made “EV-ready”
You can claim up to 5 sites.
State-funded education institutions can apply for a boosted Workplace Charging Scheme rate — up to £2,500 per socket (up to 40 sockets). Useful for schools and colleges in Norwich, Fakenham, King’s Lynn, Great Yarmouth, etc. Read More
While residents can’t usually claim council cash directly for a private home charger, Norfolk County Council is using national funds to expand public and community charging:
LEVI-funded rollouts for parish locations across the county (can be combined with local member funding). Read More
Ongoing installations bringing more chargers to towns and Norwich Park & Ride sites (helpful if you rely on public charging). Read More
Some districts (e.g., King’s Lynn & West Norfolk) have used national on-street programmes to add residential chargers. Read More
Tip: If your street in Fakenham or Wymondham struggles for off-street parking, speak to your parish or district council about planned LEVI sites and how residents can request locations.

Q1) I own a house with a driveway in Norwich — can I get a home grant?
Usually no — the home grant focuses on renters and flat owners. Consider WCS/Infrastructure grants if it’s for a business site, or landlord grants if you let property.
Q2) I park on-street in King’s Lynn — any help?
Yes, if you install a compliant cross-pavement solution you may get up to £350 per socket under the on-street component of the Chargepoint Grant. Also watch for council LEVI sites adding nearby public chargers.
Q3) We’re an SME in Thetford planning 10 bays — which grant?
Use the EV Infrastructure Grant for Staff & Fleets (up to £15,000 per site for infrastructure + £350 per socket and £500 per EV-ready space). If you’re just adding a few sockets now, WCS may be enough.
Q4) We manage flats in Great Yarmouth — can we future-proof bays now and add chargers later?
Yes. The landlord infrastructure grant funds the wiring and preparation now (up to £30,000 per property) so you can add chargers as residents switch to EVs.
Q5) Do we need an OZEV-authorised installer?
Yes — grants require OZEV-authorised installers for eligibility and claiming.
Q6) Are there Norfolk-only cash incentives for private home chargers?
Not typically — but the council is expanding public and parish charging through LEVI and local member funding, which improves access for homes without driveways.
DJB Electrical installs and maintains EV chargers across Norwich, Fakenham, King’s Lynn, Great Yarmouth, Dereham, Thetford, Wymondham, Attleborough, Cromer, North Walsham and Downham Market — and we’ll guide you through the right grant from start to finish.
