The OZEV grant is now only for flat owners, renters and landlords, up to £350 or 75% of the cost. If you own a house with a drive, there's no grant, so the typical South Molton price of £975 is what you'll pay.

What's different about electrics in farmhouses near South Molton?

Usually not for a normal home, but the rules are tighter in a National Park. Kit on a wall facing the road, ground-mounted panels and anything on a listed building can need consent. Check with Exmoor National Park Authority planning before you book, not after.

Will my fuse needs upgrading for an EV charger?
