UK Government Announces New OZEV Grants for Workplace Charging
In 2025, the UK government has introduced a new round of grants through the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), designed to accelerate the rollout of workplace charging infrastructure. The initiative comes as part of the UK’s broader ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 while supporting businesses in adopting electric mobility.
What the New Grants Offer
The new OZEV scheme provides funding support for companies looking to install EV charging stations at their workplaces. Eligible businesses can apply for grants covering up to 75% of the installation costs, with a maximum cap per charging socket. This scheme is particularly beneficial for SMEs that want to provide charging access for employees, customers, and fleet vehicles without facing prohibitive costs.
Why Workplace Charging Matters
Workplace charging plays a pivotal role in supporting the UK’s transition to electric vehicles. By enabling employees to charge during working hours, companies can:
-
Encourage the adoption of EVs among staff.
-
Reduce range anxiety and support longer commutes.
-
Showcase their sustainability credentials to customers and stakeholders.
Wider Impact on the Market
The government expects this grant to encourage thousands of new installations, helping the UK expand its charging network significantly. Compared with other countries, the UK is among the few offering substantial financial incentives specifically for workplace charging — a model that could inspire similar policies in Turkey and across the EU.
How Click&Plug Fits In
With its flexible white-label solutions and smart load management system, Click&Plug is well positioned to help UK businesses take advantage of these grants. From shopping centres to office complexes, the platform offers scalable and secure charging solutions that align with OZEV requirements.
The combination of government support and private sector innovation promises to accelerate the UK’s EV adoption rate, making workplace charging a cornerstone of sustainable mobility.
