Frequently asked questions about workplace EV charging

Still have a question?

Can our Southampton business claim the Workplace Charging Scheme grant?

Yes, provided your business meets the criteria set out under the scheme. MCI Electrical supplies the dedicated quote, technical specifications, and NICEIC installation certificate needed to support your business grant claim.

What factors alter the cost of installing a workplace EV charger?

The installation price depends on the distance from your distribution board to the parking bays, the containment required across walls or ground surfaces, and whether your existing board has available circuit ways or requires additional protection.

Can chargers be installed for commercial vans and delivery fleets?

Yes. We install charging equipment suited for commercial fleet vehicles, depot yards, and delivery vans, wiring directly into single-phase or three-phase distribution boards depending on your vehicles and power supply.

Will our electrical power need to be turned off during the installation?

A temporary isolation of the distribution board is necessary to connect the new circuit safely. We plan this shutdown period with your facility management to prevent interruptions to your core trading activities.

Is MCI Electrical registered to certify commercial EV charger installations?

Yes. MCI Electrical is NICEIC registered. Every workplace EV charging installation is inspected, tested, and issued with an official NICEIC electrical installation certificate upon completion.
