Home charging is the primary charging method for most Irish EV owners as it’s convenient and cheaper for the consumer as well as assisting in the overall management of the national grid. Over 80% of charging is expected to happen at home.
The Home Charger Grant Scheme provides a grant of up to €600 towards the installation cost of a domestic charge point for new and second-hand BEVs or PHEVs. As the grant acts as an incentive, the eligibility criteria clearly states that homeowners should not commence any work before the start date on the letter of offer, otherwise the expenditure is deemed ineligible and grant support will not be received.
Queries on individual cases should be directly to the SEAI for consideration.
