Frequently Asked Questions
The SEAI Electric Vehicle (EV) Home Charger Grant is a government funded support scheme helping residents and homeowners to install an electric vehicle charge point on their property. Under the scheme you can get a grant of up to €300 (reduced from previous rate of €600 on 1 January 2024) 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, such as our team at Actavo HomeCharge. You can apply for a grant as a homeowner, whether you own an electric vehicle or not (once you have not availed of a previous EV home charge point grant).
The charge point can also be used for visitor use or at rented accommodation. The EV must be parked on an off-street parking location associated with the home and the charger must be connected back to your home fuse board.
To apply for the grant, you need your 11-digit Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN), which you can find on your electricity bill, and your Eircode, to confirm the location of your home. You can apply for the grant on the SEAI website https://www.seai.ie/grants/electric-vehicle-grants/electric-vehicle-home-charger-grant/
Once your application has been approved by SEAI, you will receive a Letter of Offer by email, with Terms and Condition and a Payment Request Form link. You will also receive an email containing the Installation Details Form that needs to be completed by your Actavo HomeCharge electrician – please forward this email to us.
The SEAI Letter of Offer has a start date noted – you must not commence the installation before this date or it will not quality for the grant. You have 6 months from this date to complete the installation of your charge point.
When we install your car charger for you, we will complete the Installation Details Form and give you all the evidence you need to complete your SEAI Payment Request Form - Certificate Number 3, Test Record, Photo of Installation, Actavo HomeCharge Invoice.
