EV chargers for commercial use
The government’s Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant offers £350 per socket for up to maximum of 40 sockets across all sites for each application. The grant is open for applications from eligible businesses, charities, and public sector organisations. You must use an EV charger installer authorised by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

As an OZEV-authorised EV charger, Barton Knight can install, commission and service your charging points.

We will also guide you through the grant applications.

Residential and commercial developments
Increasingly EV chargers are forming part of new developments as local authorities mandate adoption. We have completed many high profile residential and commercial developments which incorporate the latest car charging technologies.

Local Authorities
We have extensive experience installing EV charging points in local authority sites including hospitals and council buildings.

How does it work?

Step 1

Contact us to discuss your requirements - we will discuss your current energy usage, systems, and tariffs, budget, timescales, and any low-carbon goals.

Step 2

We will visit your property to assess its suitability for various options - size, access, age, insulation, number of/proximity to other properties, and your existing systems will all influence our recommendation. We will also advise and assist with any relevant applications for government grant funding or to eg UK Power Networks/National Grid if required.

Step 3

Once a solution has been agreed, we will arrange an installation date and timescale at your convenience. Depending on the system you have chosen, we will advise on any preparation required - typically this is minimal.

Step 3

Once the system has been installed and tested, we will walk you through the controls and give you a thorough handover, along with all operating and maintenance and warranty documents.

FAQs for organisations

The UK government has committed nearly £5 billion in funding to help businesses in reaching net-zero emissions by 2050. This covers government grants, tax relief, and specialised green loans, with some examples as follows:

SMEs can apply for Green Business Grants to install technologies that reduce carbon emissions, such as LED lighting and solar PV panels – available until March 2026. The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) can provide up to £15,000 off the cost of installing Electric Vehicle chargers. And local authorities often provide bespoke funding for energy efficiency improvements.

Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) offer a “zero-capital” option where a third-party developer installs and maintains renewable equipment (like solar) on your site at no upfront cost, and you buy the electricity at a fixed, discounted rate. 

In addition, many major banks offer loans for sustainable investments (e.g., Lloyds Clean Growth Financing, Barclays Green Loans, NatWest Green Loans) with features like lower interest rates, no arrangement fees, or cashback rewards.

We will review your requirements in detail and conduct a site survey and energy audit to determine the best technology, calculate your energy profile, and assess structural suitability.

Most commercial rooftops, warehouses, and ground-mounted areas are suitable. South-facing roofs offer the highest output, but east/west splits are effective for daytime energy usage.

We aim for minimal disruption, working around business hours if required. A standard commercial installation can take from a few days to a few weeks, depending on the system, scale, and property. 

As an NICEIC Approved Contractor, we are regulated by the UK’s largest voluntary register of electrical businesses, which assesses the installation work of over 36,000 contractors.
