Charger types

Workplace charging

Workplace charging provides EV charging at a place of work for employees, visitors or fleet vehicles using the site's electrical infrastructure. Charging power and access arrangements vary with dwell time, fleet needs and site capacity. A workplace with several charge points may need load balancing so charging demand does not exceed the available electrical capacity. The charging system can also use access control, scheduling or billing depending on who is allowed to charge. Private workplace charge points sold in Great Britain can fall under the Electric Vehicles (Smart Charge Points) Regulations 2021. Publicly accessible workplace chargers can have different regulatory obligations.
