Workplace Charging Scheme: total grant value (£) (15412) Metric type

Help text
This is the cumulative value of grants issued in pounds for installations under the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which is a voucher-based scheme that provides support towards the up-front costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle chargepoints. Any business, charity or public authority is eligible to claim the grant towards the cost of installing electric vehicle chargepoints, providing they have dedicated off-street parking for staff or fleet use only.

The WCS is designed to provide eligible organisations with support towards the upfront costs of the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charging devices. If an application is successful, applicants are issued with a unique identification voucher, which can then be used to install multiple charging devices. In these statistics, the number of sockets installed is counted as sometimes there is one grant for up to four charging devices in the same workplace carpark.

Data is taken from a database which records grant applications for administrative purposes. Grants can take several months to process and the most recent months are most likely to be undercounted.

The Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) provides grants to support the use of electric vehicles, including the installation of charging devices. OZEV is part of the Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy.
