What is fleet charging
An EV fleet is a group of vehicles that are owned or leased by the same individual or organisation. An electric fleet is usually operated by a company, government agencies, non-profit organisations or other institutions. Examples include delivery vans, taxis or any other form of public transportation. Fleet charging refers to a number of electric vehicles being charged at once through charging points installed at a central location.
EV Fleet Charging Infrastructure Grants
If you’re a landlord, you may be eligible for the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Grant to help towards the cost of building and installation work required to install multiple EV chargers. You can get up to 30 infrastructure grants each financial year, claiming up to £30,000, or 75% off the cost of the work, depending on how many parking spaces you require.
You can apply for the EV infrastructure grant if you own or manage flats, houses, apartment blocks or business premises in the UK. The grant must be used on existing properties and cannot be used for buildings under construction. What you can apply for also depends on whether you’re a residential or commercial landlord and the type of property you own or manage.
Home charging for fleets
Charging at home can be beneficial for fleets as it helps to prevent downtime. It also helps you to support your employees in their transition to electric. Home charge points allow staff to charge overnight at their own convenience, so your vehicles are always ready for the road the next morning. You can also take advantage of cheaper overnight electricity rates if your employees are on an off-peak tariff.

Frequently asked questions
There are 4 main types of EV charge point with different charging capabilities, these are the standard, fast, rapid and ultra-rapid chargers.
Usually standard charge points have a power output of 7kW and operate on AC (alternating current) electrics, whereas rapid or ultra-rapid chargers can have up to 250kW of power and usually operate on DC (direct current) electrics.
DC rapid chargers are ideal if you need to recharge your fleet and get back on the road quickly, but they are more expensive to install than AC chargers. A mixture of AC and DC charge points are recommended if you have a mixed fleet of vehicles, where some need fast chargers and some don’t.
Fleet owners have full control over who uses their charge points, and how they use them. For example, you can use RFID cards to limit charging to employees only during the week, but you could set them to public use at the weekends for a passive revenue source.
