Does my company qualify for the Workplace Charging Scheme?
To qualify, your business must have off-street parking. Your business does not need to own an electric vehicle however you do need to declare either a current need for EV charging infrastructure or an intention to encourage uptake amongst your staff and/or fleet. 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.
