There be some catches. Do you own or are you about to buy an EV?

It seem that you need to be available for the OLEV grant in order to get
the "special offer".

Well I am genuinely thinking about it, since I only do a low
mileage.

What would be the typical cost of installing one of those
'£299' charge points without the grant ?. Have you installed any ?.

If some EV cars need an AC charger and some a DC charger (as I
interpret the charger at the local library). How do these
domestic charge points do it ?.

Most EVs have two charging sockets.
The low/medium charge socket takes AC, rectified by the car's on board rectifier. (The same one used to regeneratively charge your battery on a journey.) This can be as low as 2Kw for overnight charging.

The other "fast" socket is DC from something like 60kW supply, the sort of thing you see on motorway service stations. You won't find this in domestic houses.
