For short-term leases that roll month on month, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) will accept a claim once a person has had the lease for at least 6 months and can evidence this.
If a ChargePoint is bundled in with a vehicle lease, the following requirements must be met:
- the customer must have a qualifying vehicle.
- the installation must take place at the customer’s place of residence (which must have off-street parking as per our dedicated off-street parking requirements)
- the lease agreement must clearly:
- state the customer will be the owner of the ChargePoint once payment is complete.
- itemise the cost to the customer of the ChargePoint and its installation (including any applicable VAT) – this is the amount that a grant may be offset against
- ensure the warranty for the ChargePoint meets the EVHS requirements.
- ensure any associated vehicle lease is for at least 6 months.
- a copy of the lease agreement must be submitted to DVLA with the application so that the above can be verified.
