Are you a facilities or procurement manager or a business owner?
To encourage businesses to switch the electric or hybrid fleets and to support them in providing charging points for staff and visitors, the government has two grants available - the Workplace Charge Scheme grant and the Infrastructure Grant. These grant makes it more affordable for companies to install EV charging points and future-proof their business premises, whether it be an office block, warehouse, industrial unit or destination charging location such as a car park. Small businesses, charities and small accommodation businesses* may be eligible for the Workplace Charging Scheme grant. Find out more here.
WCS is a voucher-based scheme designed to provide eligible businesses with help towards the costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charge points. Contributions are limited to 75% of purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £350 for each socket. Each applicant can apply for up to a maximum of 40 charge points across all sites.
You can apply for the scheme using the online application portal. If your eligibility check is successful, you will be issued a unique identification voucher code via email which you then pass to us prior to the installation date.
WCS vouchers are valid for four months so installation must be completed within this time. Vouchers will be issued confirming eligibility, but please be aware that until you receive a unique identification voucher code, there is no guarantee that you will receive the grant. You can speak to us if you are unsure of any of the above, we are always happy to help!
