OZEV-APPROVED ELECTRIC VEHICLE (EV) CHARGING POINT INSTALLER

EV Charging Grant Support for Businesses, Charities & Public Sector Organisations

As an OZEV-approved EV charging installer, we help workplaces across the UK take advantage of government funding for electric vehicle infrastructure.

What is the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS)?

The OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme is a government-backed initiative offering financial support to companies looking to install EV charging points at their premises. Administered by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), the scheme offers up to £500 per socket for a maximum of 40 charging points per organisation, across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Who Can Apply?

Your organisation may be eligible if:

You’re a registered business, charity or public sector body.
Your premises has dedicated off-street parking.
You have a current or planned need to support electric vehicle charging.

💡 Work from home? If your home is also your registered place of business (as shown on Companies House or HMRC), you can still apply.

How to Apply for the WCS Grant

Do i qualify for the workplace charge scheme with my home address as the registered business address? The answer is yes if you meet the criteria. If you apply for the voucher and you’re successful and have a company that OZEV can find through companies house you’re nearly there. The registered address for the business must match where you’re having the install done at. We have to send evidence to the DVLA showing the address its been installed at and a serial number for the charger. Its as easy as that! See link below for your voucher.

Can I Combine This with Other Grants?

An extra £350 per charging point, plus
Up to £500 per EV-ready parking space prepared.

We’ll advise you on how to maximise support during your site survey.

What If My WCS Application is Rejected?

Although rare, if your application is declined, you can appeal by contacting the DVLA at [email protected]. A manager will review your case and respond with a final decision.

Can I Extend My Voucher or Reapply?

If your installation can’t be completed in time, you’ll need to withdraw the voucher and submit a new application. Only chargepoints installed after a new voucher is issued will be eligible.

If you’ve partially used a voucher (e.g., installed 10 of 15 sockets), we’ll claim the grant for those completed, and you can reapply for the rest.

Want to Install More Chargers Later?

Absolutely. You can continue to apply for additional vouchers, up to a total of 40 sockets per organisation. For instance, if you’ve installed 12 so far, you’re still eligible for up to 28 more.
