EV Charger Grants

This government electric vehicle charger grant is offered by OZEV Office of Zero Emission Vehicles’ subject to their terms and conditions.

Offered to UK businesses, Charities and Public Sector Buildings with off street parking for staff and fleet cars. However, hotels and short stay holiday accommodation premises are also allowed to apply for the grant.

Allows up to £350.00 per charge point to a maximum of 40 charge points at one or multiple sites. Voucher application process details will be provided with each quote.

Elite Vehicle Chargers are authorised by OZEV to install these funded approved electric car chargers grants.

By comparison to Petrol and Diesel cars, work place EV charging works out much cheaper to fuel a car. On average, the savings depending on the EV car are at least 50% less than fossil fuels. “We even run an EV van fleet ourselves and on average we save £200.00 a month on diesel costs alone for each van”. It’s incredible. We also avoid Vehicle Tax, Congestion Charge Fees and ULEZ fees for travel into London.

Business’s that have an EV charging facility will attract customers and at the same time they stay will longer on site, especially in the retail sector thus providing many more sales opportunities.

Workplace charging facilities will help attract and retain staff who drive EV cars.
