This page gives an overview of the grant process for authorised installers.

Your responsibilities as an authorised installer

As an authorised installer, you must:

• help the customer to understand if they meet the grant criteria
• only install eligible chargepoint models
• test that all installed chargepoints work and meet safety requirements
• provide and upload all documentation to submit the claim
