Westhill-based ORKA Solutions is encouraging businesses to review their EV charging plans following confirmation that the UK Government’s Workplace Charging Scheme will remain open until March 31, 2026.
The scheme offers grants of up to £350 per charge point, covering up to 75% of installation costs, with support available for up to 40 sockets per applicant. It is designed to help businesses install EV charging for staff and fleet vehicles and must be delivered by an OZEV-authorised installer.
Duncan Booth, director at ORKA Solutions, said: “This confirmation gives businesses clarity, but it also creates a clear deadline. For organisations already considering EV charging, this is the period where the financial case is strongest.”
ORKA Solutions advises businesses to consider charger numbers, future demand, and how EV charging fits into wider energy strategies such as solar generation and battery storage.
The Workplace Charging Scheme is currently confirmed until March 31, 2026, after which future funding is not guaranteed.
