The Final Call for the Workplace Charging Scheme – Act Now!
As specialists in renewable energy systems, AlphaOne Electrics Ltd understands the importance of sustainable solutions in today's world. We are often asked what grants are available to support businesses with the associated costs of installing EV charge points. Today we want to bring to your attention an opportunity not to be missed,– the UK Government's Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). This initiative is crucial for businesses, However, time is of the essence: the scheme ends on 31st March 2024.
What is the Workplace Charging Scheme?
The WCS is a government-backed voucher scheme designed to support the installation of EV charging points at workplaces across the UK mainland, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This scheme represents a significant step towards embracing renewable energy and supporting the growing trend of electric vehicles (EVs).
Eligibility and Benefits
Who can benefit? Virtually any organisation:
- Businesses of all sizes
- Charities
- Public Sector Organisations
The primary requirement is a declared need for workplace EV charging facilities; However owning an EV at the time of application is not necessary.
The charging points must be installed at the organisation's dedicated off-street parking, whether directly on-site or within a reasonable walking distance. There are no restrictions on who can use the parking – it's open to employees, guests, customers, and more.
Do you work from Home? This grant also applies to you.
If your primary place of work is also a residential property (your home), you can also apply for the grant under this scheme as long as your address is either:
• listed as your place of business with Companies House
• recorded on your business rate (non-domestic) rate bill issued to you by your local council or Land & Property Services (LPS)
Financial Incentives
The WCS is notably generous, covering up to 75% of the total costs involved in purchasing and installing EV charge points. This is capped at £350 per socket, with a maximum overall limit of £14,000. One applicant can claim for up to 40 sockets across all sites.
