EV Charging at work
Discussion
Hi all,
I have been asked to find out about the potential to install EV charging points in the company car-park to charge a couple of employees Outlanders.
Does anybody have any experience of what I need to do?
I understand there is a Government grant scheme in place since late November IIRC, which could help pay for the installation.
The premises is rented so I guess speaking to the landlord is also required.
In practice I think it's a brilliant idea, if I was the landlord I'd be thinking it makes the offices more "rentable" in the future but I can't help thinking it's going to be a massive paperwork "box ticking" exercise all wrapped up in copious amounts of red tape!
Anybody been there, done that?

Be mindful of any BIK implications. Section 5.5 states private cars being charged at work need to be recorded as BIK.

Contact POD Point - they have a dedicated workplace team which will be able to answer all your questions. Their software allows you to restrict access to the charge point to just employees (if needed), charge people money for using them or make them completely open access.

We've just had two pod points installed at work; each point has 2 7KW Type 2 points on it. Charging and billing is done through their phone app. As yet the points haven't been commissioned so I can't say whether it works well or how much it costs but work weren't interested in any complications and it all had to be handled by Pod Point. The fact that they went ahead with it says a lot for Pod Point...
