The UK EV market is thriving, and businesses need to take notice, especially if they want to capitalise on opportunities within this rapidly growing market.
Part of this is understanding how drivers’ behaviours change as they make the switch to electric. The convenience and availability of electric car chargers are a key part of an EV driver’s decision-making process. Many drivers will structure their day around where and when they can charge their vehicle, so businesses could be getting ahead of the demand with on-site EV car charging facilities.
Charging Electric Vehicles at work is much more convenient for employers and employees alike, compared to stopping at roadside fuel stations and the company can even generate revenue from their electric car charging stations.
Although the initial outlay for commercial EV car charging can be high, the Government’s Workplace Charging Scheme helps employers with the cost of installing charging points at a business premises. The scheme can reduce the cost of charging points by up to 75 per cent, with grants of up to £350 towards the installation of individual charging points for up to a maximum of 40 charge points.
If a company invests in one or more charging points, it can claim 100 per cent tax relief on the installation cost too. (Find out more here: Workplace ev car charging)
