I work for a regional arts centre and have proposed the installation of an EV charger to the management. They’ve asked me to come back with a proposal and I’m just wondering if anyone can recommend a charger that will meet our needs.

Ideally, we want a destination charger with a contactless payment facility. It will be in our car park and available to staff and the general public. We would hope to make some level of income from it which is why the contactless payment element is important.

Additionally, are there any grants available to organisations to help cover some of the initial costs?

    There’s some decent info here as well as some stuff about the Workplace Charging Scheme your company could tap into.

    I wouldn’t get too hung up on contactless, indeed having an app could also mean you could restrict users.

    You would be unlikely to make much if any profit especially consdering business energy costs and having to charge VAT etc. The business would have to think of it as an employee perk and aim to cover costs.
