The first thing to bear in mind is the SEAI grant must be applied by yourself. The online application form is the easiest and quickest way to apply for the electric car grant.

Once your application has been approved, you will receive a Letter of Offer. This will be issued to you complete with a set of Terms and Conditions and a Payment Request form, after receiving the offer letter, you have 6 months to complete the installation of your charge point.

The work can only be performed by a fully qualified electrician who has registered accordingly with Safe Electric Ireland. Once the installation is completed you should complete the Payment Request Form. This will be completed by you and your Electrician. Your Electrician must provide you with a copy of Certificate Number 3. Review this and ensure it is completed properly.

Post your Payment Request Form to the address indicated on the Form together with the following items:

• Fully signed and completed Payment Request Form including bank account details
• Certificate Number 3
• Copy of Test Record sheet from Electrician
• Vehicle Registration Form (not required for a New car purchased in Ireland)
• Photographs of the installed charge point and the EV showing vehicle registration plate

Your electrician must send a fully completed copy of Certificate Number 3 to Safe Electric Ireland. We will check with Safe Electric Ireland that the relevant certificate has been filled for that work and that the electrician is a fully approved and registered electrician. Once this is confirmed, we will make an electronic payment of the grant amount to the bank details provided by the you.
