Glasgow on-street FAQs
Can Glasgow owner-occupiers without driveways get the £500 grant?
Yes. The 2026 OZEV On-Street Parking scheme covers Glasgow homeowners (and renters) without off-street parking, provided you install a council-approved cross-pavement gully. £500 toward the charger; gully cost (£600-£1,200) is separate.
Does Glasgow have ORCS infrastructure?
