At Midlec Ltd, we’re helping more businesses across the Midlands make the switch to electric. Our latest installation took place at a commercial premises in Duckmanton near Chesterfield, where we installed three double 22kW AC electric vehicle chargers, capable of charging six vehicles at once — ideal for workplace parking, fleet charging, or visitor use.
But this wasn’t just a hardware upgrade — it was a smart financial move, too. We helped the customer secure a £2,100 grant through the government-backed Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), making the transition to EV charging more affordable and future-proof.
💷 What Is the Workplace Charging Scheme?
The Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a government initiative managed by the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV). It offers eligible businesses, charities, and public sector organisations a grant of up to 75% of the cost of purchase and installation of EV charge points, capped at:
£350 per socket
Up to 40 sockets per applicant
For our client in Duckmanton, this meant £2,100 off the total installation cost — making their investment in EV infrastructure not only future-proof but cost-effective too.
⚠️ Important: The WCS is only available until May 2026, so if you’re considering EV charging for your site, we recommend acting soon while funding is still available.
