Workplace Charging Scheme
If you can show a need for an EV chargepoint at your place of work or for your business, you can apply for The Workplace Charging Scheme which is a voucher-based scheme that provides support towards the up-front costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle chargepoints for eligible businesses and public sector organisations.
This will give up to £350 off the cost of the purchase and installation of a new single socket chargepoint and you can claim for up to a maximum of 40 points (40 single socket or 20 double socket chargepoints).
To qualify for the grants you must have off-street parking, be able to clarify a need for an EV chargepoint for the business and have the chargepoints installed by an OZEV-approved workplace chargepoint installer - like us!
To apply for the grant you simply need to fill in an online application form and if successful you will be emailed a voucher code which you can then present to the TBE EVC team for your installation. The voucher code is valid for 4 months.
