OLEV
OLEV was the Office for Low Emission Vehicles, the former name of the UK government unit now called the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles, or OZEV. The organisation was renamed in 2020. Older grant guidance, installer documents and EV articles can still refer to OLEV. Current UK chargepoint and zero-emission vehicle grant information is published under OZEV. This glossary page is retained because the old acronym still appears in searches and historic documentation.
