What are workplace EV charging stations?
Workplace charging refers to electric vehicle charge points that are typically installed at a workplace or office building. These charge points offer a convenient way for employees who own electric vehicles to charge their cars while they work. Additionally, if you manage a fleet of EVs, workplace charging ensures your vehicles remain charged and ready to go at all times.
As of February 2024, there are more than a million fully electric cars on the roads of the UK. Given the continued rise in electric vehicle usage, it may be time to start considering a workplace EV charging solution for your business. From attracting and retaining new customers to improving employee satisfaction, investing in EV charging infrastructure now will get you ahead of competitors as we approach the ban on petrol and diesel vehicles.

Benefits of workplace charging
Improve employee satisfaction
Workplace charging offers a significant convenience to employees who own EVs, alleviating range anxiety and providing a hassle-free charging experience. By keeping your staff happy, you can boost your employee retention rate and enhance your company's reputation.
Reduced carbon footprint
One of the main advantages of EV workplace charging is the reduction of your business's carbon footprint. With the majority of people using their cars to commute to work, installing EV infrastructure can encourage staff to switch to electric vehicles, leading to reduced carbon emissions associated with commutes, daily travel, and business trips.
Attract and retain customers
By making your charge points available for public use, your business can attract and retain more customers. EV owners are more inclined to visit and spend more time at businesses that offer EV charging facilities than those that don't.
Futureproof your business
Investing in EV charge points early can give your business an edge over competitors and boost your bottom line. As planning and installing EV infrastructure can take some time, it's best to plan ahead to avoid the rush and any potential additional expenses due to increased demand for charge points and installers.
Brand image and Corporate Social Responsibility
Workplace charging is not just an environmental benefit, but also sends a clear message to consumers about your company's stance on sustainability, which is increasingly crucial in today's climate.
Attracting top talent
Workplace EV charging demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, which can make your company more attractive to environmentally conscious job seekers. It can be a valuable perk that sets your organisation apart from competitors when recruiting top talent.
Workplace EV charging station installation
The installation process for workplace charging infrastructure involves several steps, starting with an online survey so that we understand your site requirements. Our experienced team will then support you in choosing a charge point that meets all your needs and will provide a quote for our recommended solution.
Our certified installers will implement your charging infrastructure according to the agreed specifications. Once complete, we’ll set you up on our intuitive software platform that allows you to effortlessly manage and oversee your EV estate.
Throughout the process, our support team will guide you every step of the way, answering any questions and resolving any issues you may encounter. With our end-to-end installation process, you can be sure of a seamless transition to workplace charging.
Workplace charging payment processes
As a business owner, you have the option to either charge your employees for the electricity used during charge sessions or provide free charging during work hours as an additional employee benefit. To make the process simpler, you can track charge sessions, energy usage, and reimbursements through the use of RFID charge cards and EV charging management software, such as the Radius Charge portal.
Once employees have received their RFID cards, they can easily tap their card on the charger after connecting it to their vehicle to begin, end, and pay for a charging session. The user is charged for the energy consumed during the session, and this information is sent to the software to be stored in user-friendly invoices, making it easy to keep track of usage and payments. If you are offering free charging to your employees, you can use this data in the same way to simplify the reimbursement process and reduce administrative time.

Workplace EV charging grants
If the initial cost of installing EV chargers at your premises is a concern, you may qualify for a grant from the UK Government to alleviate some of the expense. Businesses can claim up to a maximum of £850 per charge point when combining the Workplace Charging Scheme and the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant for staff fleets.
To be eligible for the grants, an authorised EV charge point installer must be used, such as Radius Charge. Get in touch with our team of experts who can check your eligibility and offer guidance and support throughout the application process.

EV charge cards
If you own an EV fleet or your business requires extensive on-road travel, investing in EV charge cards can simplify the charging experience. With access to one of the UK's largest charging networks, charging while on the go has never been more convenient for your employees.
EV home charging
To further support your employees in their journey to electric, consider installing EV charge points at their homes. This allows staff to charge company EVs outside of work hours to avoid downtime and provides convenience, allowing them to charge around their lifestyle.
Workplace EV charging policy
It's essential to develop a workplace charging policy alongside your EV charging strategy. They serve as a set of guidelines that regulate the use of chargers installed at the workplace premises. It establishes rules, best practices and charging etiquette for employees and any visitors who may have access to the chargers. A typical workplace EV charging policy also covers aspects such as rules for usage, safety regulations, charging costs and contact information for reporting any charger issues.
