The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based scheme designed to provide eligible applicants with support towards the upfront costs of the purchase and installation of EV chargepoints.
The contribution is limited to 75% of purchase and installation costs, up to a maximum of £350 for each socket, up to a maximum of 40 across all sites for each applicant.
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is available to registered businesses, charities and public sector organisations that have dedicated off-street parking.
- In addition to the £350 per socket, the WCS will also be able to provide additional help for small and medium-sized enterprises (less than 250 employees) to provide their staff or fleet car parks with EV chargepoints.
- The additional grant monies will provide up to £15,000 per building towards the cost of installing chargepoints, with a maximum of 5 grants available.
- The amount of grant available will depend on how many parking bays are being provisioned with either a chargepoint socket (up to £850 available per bay) or supporting infrastructure for a chargepoint to be installed at a later date (up to £500 available per bay).
- The business location must have associated private parking. There is no limit as to how many chargepoint sockets can be installed at each site (within the overall number of grants available). A minimum of 5 bays must be provisioned, at least one of which must have a working chargepoint.
You must use an authorised installer, our partners Pod Point are an OZEV-approved installer.
