​Workplace Charging Scheme Extended to 2026: A Strategic Opportunity for UK Businesses

Introduction

The UK’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is accelerating, and businesses are at the forefront of this change. To support this shift, the Government has extended the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) until 31 March 2026, providing significant financial incentives for organisations to install EV charging infrastructure. This extension presents a timely opportunity for businesses to enhance their sustainability credentials and prepare for an electric future.​

What is the Workplace Charging Scheme?

The WCS is a voucher-based initiative that offers eligible UK businesses, charities, and public sector organisations up to 75% off the cost of purchasing and installing EV charge points, capped at £350 per socket and a maximum of 40 sockets per applicant. 

Key Features:

• Financial Support: Up to £14,000 in grants per organisation.
  
• Eligibility: Available to businesses, charities, public sector bodies, and small accommodation businesses across the UK.
  
• Installation Requirements: Charge points must be installed by an OZEV-authorised installer. ​Home – Roamfind-government-grants.service.gov.uk+3evcsolutions.co.uk+3Homepage+3Home – Roam+5find-government-grants.service.gov.uk+5Homepage+5
