Workplace Charging Scheme

Workplace Charging Scheme

The aim of the Workplace charging Scheme is to help with the transition to electric vehicles by accelerating the provision of chargepoints in the workplace.

The scheme is run by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) and administered by the Driving and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)

The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a voucher-based scheme that provides eligible businesses with support towards the upfront costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargepoints.

All businesses can use it to help provision chargepoints for their staff or fleets. Charities and small accommodation businesses can further use it to provision chargepoints for their guests or visitors.

The grant covers up to 75% of the total costs of the purchase and installation of EV chargepoints (inclusive of VAT), capped at a maximum of:

  • £350 per socket; or
  • 40 sockets across all sites per applicant – for instance, if you would like to install them in 40 sites, you will have 1 socket available per site.

Closing date: 31 March 2024.
