Government Grants Available

The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) covers up to 75% of the purchase and installation cost, capped at £350 per charging socket for up to 40 sockets. This means businesses can claim up to £14,000 towards workplace EV chargers. There is also a separate EV Infrastructure Grant for staff and fleet charging, worth up to £15,000 per building. This covers electrical infrastructure such as cabling, posts and groundworks. Both grants can be used at the same location, provided they are not claimed for the same chargepoints. Combined, businesses may be able to claim up to £29,000 in government funding. Optima Electrical handle the full grant process and paperwork for you.

Why Offer Workplace Charging

Why Offer Workplace Charging

Workplace EV charging is becoming an increasingly popular employee benefit.

Staff with electric vehicles value the ability to charge during the working day, and many businesses now include workplace charging as part of their sustainability strategy.

For companies running electric fleets, on-site charging can also significantly reduce running costs compared with petrol or diesel vehicles.

Customer-facing chargers can also attract visitors to hotels, restaurants, gyms and retail sites.

Charger Options for Your Business

We install workplace EV chargers ranging from 7kW to 22kW depending on the needs of your site.

7kW chargers are ideal for staff who park for longer periods during the day.
22kW chargers are better suited to faster charging for shared or customer parking areas.

We also install smart charging systems with load management, allowing multiple chargers to operate without overloading your electrical supply.

Optional payment and monitoring systems can be added if you want to track usage or charge for electricity.
