Workplace Charging

Electric Vehicle Charging

Benefits of installing electric chargers at work

  • Enables electric fleet charging
  • Future-proof your place of work
  • Significantly reduces charge times
  • Convenience for staff and visitors
  • Enhances your company's image for visitors
  • User accounts to allocate and track spending
  • Monitors and controls the electricity usage to prevent your property from tripping due to excess electricity usage

Installation costs

Once electric vehicle chargers are installed, the only ongoing expense is for the electricity used to charge your vehicles. If you have solar panels, many of our chargers can be powered exclusively by solar energy, effectively allowing you to charge your car for free!

Grants (Workplace Charging Scheme)

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

We are approved by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) to install under Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). Check your eligibility to get started.

Monitoring costs and consumption

EV Chargers come with very sophisticated monitoring software to keep track of costs and consumption.

The Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) facilitates seamless communication between your charging station and a central management system, allowing you to generate detailed usage reports, allocate costs accurately, and even implement user-specific access.

There are many OCPC providers, but we recommend Fuuse or Monta.

 

How payments are processed:

  1. Each OCPC provider adds a QR code on the charge point.
  2. The user simply scans the QR code to set up and pay, or they can have the app on their mobile.
  3. You set the rate you wish to charge (which can be zero).
  4. The user is charged at your set rate.

 

OCPP costs:

  • Fuuse and Monta charge £65-£80 per annum, plus 10% of all transactions.
  • The Charge Point payments are made directly to the elected receivable bank account.
  • All licenses are for one full year and there is no tie-in period after that.
