The Business Case for EV Charging

Mark Emery • 28 March 2025

Why Your Business Should Invest Now


With the UK on a mission to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2050, electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming the new norm. The demand for EV charging infrastructure is soaring, and forward-thinking businesses are already making the switch. But why should your business invest in EV charging stations now? Let’s explore the benefits and opportunities available to UK businesses.


Boost Your Business With EV Charging


Installing EV charging points isn’t just about keeping up with regulations—it’s a smart business move. Here’s why:

  • Attract and Retain Employees – More employees are driving EVs, and workplace charging is a valuable perk. Providing convenient charging solutions helps attract top talent and keeps your workforce happy.

  • Increase Foot Traffic – Offering charging to customers encourages them to spend more time at your business, increasing dwell time and potential sales.

  • Enhance Sustainability & CSR Credentials – Consumers and clients favour businesses with strong environmental commitments. Installing EV chargers showcases your dedication to sustainability.

  • Generate Additional Revenue – Paid charging services can create a new revenue stream, offsetting installation and operational costs.


Government Incentives & Cost Savings


To help businesses transition, the UK government offers financial support through the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). This provides grants of up to £350 per socket to help reduce installation costs. Additionally, businesses can benefit from tax advantages and long-term energy savings, making EV charging a cost-effective investment.


Future-Proofing Your Business


The UK government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, meaning the demand for EV charging stations will only increase. Installing charging points now ensures you’re ahead of the curve, avoiding costly retrofitting later on.


Investing in smart charging solutions that integrate with renewable energy can also help businesses lower electricity costs over time, making operations more efficient and sustainable.
