As company car fleets go electric and salary-sacrifice EVs take off, charging at the office has shifted from perk to expectation — and it's 75% grant-funded.
Charging is now a workplace expectation
With salary-sacrifice EV schemes booming and company cars going electric, employees increasingly expect to charge at work. For office employers, providing it is becoming part of a competitive benefits package — not a nice-to-have.
Why offices invest
- Recruitment & retention: charging is a visible, practical benefit that supports your EV-driving talent.
- Salary sacrifice synergy: workplace charging complements salary-sacrifice EV schemes, making the whole package more attractive.
- Sustainability & ESG: on-site charging is a tangible step toward net-zero commitments and scope-3 reporting.
- Asset value: EV-ready parking future-proofs your premises.
Funded by the Workplace Charging Scheme
Offices with dedicated off-street parking qualify for the WCS: 75% of cost, up to £500 per socket, for up to 40 sockets — so a meaningful bank of chargers costs far less than the headline. Our Workplace Charging Scheme guide covers the detail, and the cost guide shows real numbers; our office sector page shows how we design them.
