Home EV Charger Installation
Single-socket 7kW domestic install, with the OZEV grant where eligible. BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 Section 722 compliant.
From £800 (£300 net of OZEV)Install EV charging for your staff and fleet. The Workplace Charging Scheme pays up to £500 per socket on up to 40 sockets. Costs, the grant, and how to get it installed.
Workplace EV charging is now a mainstream staff benefit and fleet enabler. With the 2030 ban on new petrol/diesel car sales now confirmed by government, fleet operators have a hard timeline to electrify — and workplace charging is the lowest-friction route. The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) pays up to £500 per socket for installations completed on or after 1 April 2026, on up to 40 sockets across all sites per applicant. It closes on 31 March 2027.
Who's eligible for the WCS grant:
Typical workplace installs in Cornwall:
Three-phase 22kW units charge most modern EVs in 1-3 hours and are the standard for fleet/staff use where vehicles cycle through the bays during the working day. Where supply is constrained, dynamic load balancing lets multiple chargers share an MPAN headroom intelligently — a single 100A supply can support 6-10 22kW chargers in load-balanced mode where actual concurrent demand is well below nameplate.
Choose an OZEV-approved installer who handles the WCS grant claim, DNO G99 notification, site survey, and commissioning end-to-end. Most projects from survey to working chargers: 3-6 weeks.

Everything you need to know about workplace EV charging in Cornwall.
For installations completed on or after 1 April 2026, the WCS grant pays up to £500 per socket, on up to 40 sockets across all sites per applicant. The scheme closes on 31 March 2027.
Businesses, charities, and public sector organisations registered at Companies House or equivalent, with dedicated off-street parking for staff or fleet use. The applicant must be the property owner or have the landlord's written consent. Each site requires its own application (multiple sites permitted up to the 40-socket overall cap).
22kW (three-phase) is the standard for workplaces — most modern EVs charge in 1-3 hours, so a single bay can serve multiple vehicles through a working day. 7kW (single-phase) is fine for low-cycling sites (e.g., staff who park all day). Mixed installs are common: some 22kW for fleet/visitor use, some 7kW for long-stay staff parking.
Survey to working chargers: typically 3-6 weeks. The critical-path items are DNO G99 notification (2-4 weeks where supply uplift is required) and the WCS grant authorisation (which must arrive before installation starts). Hardware install itself is usually 1-3 days on site depending on socket count.
Yes — modern workplace chargers run on the OCPP protocol and pair with back-office platforms that handle RFID/app authentication, per-kWh or per-minute billing, and payroll deduction or visitor card payments. Common back-office providers: Monta, AmpEco, Driivz, ChargePoint Connect. Setup adds £20-£50/socket/month typically.
Sometimes. For 4+ socket 22kW installs, the DNO will model your existing demand profile vs charger load. If headroom is tight, you'll need either a supply uplift (DNO-quoted, £0-£20,000+ depending on works needed) or a dynamic load-balancing system that throttles chargers when site demand is high. Load balancing is often cheaper than uplift.
Yes — the grant covers 75% of the combined cost of purchase, supply (cabling, switchgear, DNO works) and installation, up to £500 per socket (scheme details). It does not cover ongoing back-office subscription fees or future maintenance. Your installer deducts the grant from your invoice.
