A car charging company is urging landlords and businesses to take advantage of government grants towards the cost of electric vehicle chargepoints.

Dominic Langley, director of the Car Charging Company, says: “There are some really great grant schemes available for people to take advantage of at the moment if they want to install electric vehicle chargepoints, particularly for landlords and businesses.

“In [a] recent case, we successfully applied for electric vehicle chargepoint and infrastructure grants for landlords, totalling £850 for each of the seven chargepoints. This was made up of £350 for each charger and £500 for the infrastructure and saved the client thousands of pounds, while adding real value to their property by having electric vehicle chargepoints.

“There have been many government grants over recent years, but they do come and go, so I’d encourage any landlords or businesses who might be considering facilitating electric in the near future to take advantage of the grants while they are available.

“With the infrastructure grant, you can even just install the infrastructure now and add the charger itself later. There’s also the Workplace Charging Scheme available for businesses currently.”
