Workplace charging

A practical way for many people to charge their EVs is at their workplace, as their car can charge up during the work day, meaning there’s no need for a home charger. It also allows many people to share a single charge point, so installation is more cost-efficient and impactful.

There is funding available to encourage workplaces to install EV chargers - the Workplace Charging Scheme is a voucher-based scheme which can cover up to 75% of the cost at a maximum of £350 for each socket, for up to 40 sockets.

To be eligible, your workplace has to have a Companies House Reference Number, own the business premises or have the landlord's permission to install the chargers, and use an authorised EV charger installer. 

Businesses who install workplace chargers benefit by reduced emissions, and being able to offer an appealing benefit for staff, as well as showcasing their green credentials with demonstrable activity.
