Does my company qualify for the Workplace Charging Scheme?
To qualify, your business must have off-street parking.

The grant is available for new charge points only (cannot claim on existing ones).
How does the Workplace Charging Scheme work?
The Workplace Charging Scheme is a voucher-based system. Companies complete an online application.
If successful, a voucher code will be awarded within 5 working days which can then be presented to your OLEV-approved installer. The voucher code is only valid for 120 days from the date of issue.
How do I claim the Workplace Charging Scheme voucher?
To claim for your voucher, you will need to complete and submit the WCS online application. Once OLEV has assessed and approved your application, they will send you the voucher. Please note that some OLEV applications may require more information and it is ultimately OLEV’s decision on allocating the voucher. To view the full application guidance, download the Workplace Charging Scheme Guidance PDF document from the OLEV website.
Once you have received the WCS voucher, please contact PowerEV to discuss your order requirements. Please note that you must have your voucher prior to placing your order and arranging installation.
