EV charging services
EV charger installations need more than simply fixing a unit to the wall. BIM checks the electrical supply, route, protection, earthing, load and grant position before the installation goes ahead.
OZEV grant applications
Where the installation is eligible, BIM can support the installer-led grant process and help apply before the charger is installed.
Landlord EV charging
Chargepoint installation support for landlords, property managers and rental properties where EV charging is being added for tenants.
Flats and apartments
EV charging support for flat owners, renters and apartment parking areas where permissions, supply routes and grant rules need checking.
Workplace charging
EV charging for staff parking, business premises, small fleets and workplaces looking to install one or more chargepoints.
Load and supply checks
Consumer unit condition, main supply, earthing, bonding, cable route and load requirements reviewed before installation.
Consumer unit works

Multiple chargers
Support for landlords, businesses and managed sites planning more than one charger or staged EV charging infrastructure.
Charger replacements
Replacement EV chargepoints and upgrade routes where an old charger needs changing or a new vehicle requires better charging provision.
EV grant support before the charger is installed.
Current government EV chargepoint grants are administered through OZEV. The older term OLEV is still commonly used, but the current office is OZEV. Grants are available under selected schemes for eligible renters, flat owners, landlords, workplaces and other qualifying applicants.
Grant position
Grant schemes can provide up to £500 toward eligible installations under current government guidance. Eligibility must be checked before installation and the claim is normally handled by the approved installer.
OLEV / OZEV approved EV charger installers
BIM Electrical Group can help eligible customers use the correct grant route and avoid installing first, then finding out the grant cannot be claimed.
Home EV charger grants
Current home EV chargepoint grant support is mainly aimed at eligible renters, flat owners and some specific parking arrangements. A standard homeowner with a private driveway may not qualify under the same rules, so eligibility should be checked before quoting the job.
Landlord EV charger grants
Landlords and property managers may be able to apply for chargepoint grants across eligible rental properties. This can help reduce the upfront cost of adding EV charging to a property portfolio.
Workplace Charging Scheme
Businesses, charities and eligible organisations may be able to claim support for workplace EV charging sockets. This can be useful for staff parking, fleets and business premises preparing for electric vehicles.
Safe electrical installation
An EV charger is a high-demand electrical installation. The circuit, protective device, cable route, earthing arrangement, consumer unit and load must all be considered before installation.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about EV charger installation, OLEV/OZEV approval and grant applications.
Are you OLEV or OZEV approved installers?
Yes. BIM Electrical Group can support OLEV/OZEV approved EV charger installations and eligible grant applications. OLEV is the older name many people still use; the current government office is OZEV.
Can you apply for the EV charger grant?
Where the installation is eligible, the grant process is normally installer-led. We can help confirm eligibility and apply before the installation goes ahead.
How much is the EV charger grant?
Selected government EV chargepoint grants can provide up to £500 toward eligible chargepoint installations under current guidance. Eligibility depends on the applicant, property, parking, vehicle and scheme rules.
Can landlords claim EV charger grants?
Eligible landlords and property managers may be able to claim grants for chargepoints at rental properties. The number of sockets and qualifying rules depend on the current OZEV scheme.
Do I need off-street parking?
Most domestic EV charger installations and grant routes require suitable parking arrangements. Private driveways, allocated off-street parking, communal parking and on-street arrangements all need to be reviewed properly.
What checks are needed before installation?
The consumer unit, earthing, bonding, cable route, charger location, main supply and electrical load need to be assessed before an EV charger is installed.
