OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme - Business EV Charger Grants Perthshire
The OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme provides financial support for businesses looking to install EV charging points at their premises. It helps reduce the upfront cost of workplace charging, making it easier to support staff vehicles, fleet use, and long-term EV adoption.
EV charger installations are carried out across Perthshire, including Perth and surrounding areas, as part of our work as an OZEV-approved installer. Systems are designed based on site layout, electrical capacity, and expected usage, ensuring they are set up safely and operate reliably from day one.
This is one of the main options for businesses exploring EV charger grants in Scotland or workplace EV charging in Perthshire.
