SEAI Home Charger Grants

The grant is available when you purchase either a NEW or SECOND HAND electric vehicle (EV).

Any private owner who buys an eligible EV in 2018 or later is eligible to apply for this grant.
The EV must be parked at an off-street parking location associated with their home and the charger must be connected back to the fuse board/consumer unit of the applicant’s home.
The Meter Point Reference Number (MPRN), found on your electricity bill, will be used to confirm the location of your home.
The property can not be associated with a previous EV vehicle grant and charge point offer. For example, it can not have availed of the free ESB Ecars home charger pre 2018.
You should not commence any work prior to the start date on your ‘Letter of Offer’, otherwise you will not receive grant support for this work.
On the day of install, our electrician will issue a Safe Ireland/RECI cert and complete the SEAI ‘Payment Request Form’ upon completion of install. Both of these documents should be submitted to SEAI for the grant to be paid.

Only vehicles registered new or bought second hand from 2018 onwards are eligible for a home charger grant.
Only vehicles which are now or were previously eligible for grant support under the EV Grant Scheme are eligible.
EVs include Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) or Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs).
Vehicles purchased new in Ireland, privately imported as new or privately imported as second hand and registered in Ireland in 2018 or later are eligible.
Second hand cars where ownership by the applicant occurs in 2018 or onwards are eligible.
Vehicles must be registered for private use
