OZEV Workplace Scheme

Any business, charity or public authority is eligible to claim the grant towards the
cost of installing electric vehicle charge points providing they have dedicated off-street parking for staff or fleet use only.  The grant is available throughout Scotland and England.

The grant will pay up to £350 per socket, up to a maximum of 40 chargers

Yes, but you must be able to attach evidence that they are registered as a company with HMRC. You will need to provide a copy of your registration on application. If you are a charity, you can use your registration to the Charity Commission.

No. However, you need to declare either a current need for EV charging infrastructure or an intention to encourage uptake amongst your staff and/or fleet.

The Government will legislate a tax exemption in relation to employees who charge their own electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles at work. This means the value of the electricity used will not be taxed as a benefit-in-kind.
