Workplace EV charger installation in Eastleigh
MCI Electrical fits workplace EV chargers for offices, depots and yards around Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End, Whiteley and Southampton. We quote the work ourselves and stay on the job until the charger is live and certified.
“I have worked on commercial premises across Eastleigh and Southampton since 2009. I quote the job, do the work and sign it off myself, so you always deal with the person who knows your building.”
Who books a workplace EV charger
- Firms around Eastleigh, Whiteley, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End and Southampton book this when staff or vans need a charger on the car park, not on the street.
- Managers in Eastleigh and Chandler's Ford ask us to put a charger on an existing staff space so people can charge at work during the day.
- Yards in Hedge End, Botley, Whiteley and Segensworth need a charger next to the vans, with a feed from the existing board rather than a domestic socket.
- Workshops and warehouses around Southampton and the docks book a charger when drivers start bringing electric vans onto the site.

What happens on the day
We arrive ourselves, isolate the board, fit the charger and leave you with a working bay and the certificate.
- 01
Arrival and isolation
We meet you at the car park, confirm the bay and isolate the board so the new circuit can go in safely.
- 02
Fit the charger and the feed
We run the dedicated circuit, mount the charger and terminate the tails at the board and at the unit.
- 03
Test and certificate
We test the circuit, put the charger into service and leave the NICEIC certificate and test sheets with you.
How this is priced
The starting price of £1,250 buys a grant backed workplace charger for a typical small office or depot bay, including the written quote, the fitting on your car park and the certificate at the end.
- Extra bays, longer cable runs and three phase feeds are priced after we see the car park.
- Where you qualify, we price the charger so you can claim under the Workplace Charging Scheme.
- Out of hours attendance is a separate rate from £105 an hour.
- Fixed wire testing is priced on the number of boards and circuits, not by the hour.
- Emergency lighting is priced per light, and the three hour test is priced separately.
- Repairs are priced item by item off the report, so you choose what to do and when.
- Work outside your trading hours costs a different rate, and I tell you what it is before I set off.
- Quotes are free, rescheduling is free, and there is no callout fee.
What you get from a workplace charger
You are left with a working staff or van bay, a written price that matches the grant claim, and the electrical records for the building.
- Define the proposal
- We write the charger quote around the bay, the board and the grant claim so the price on paper matches the work on the car park.
- The charger priced by itself
- The charger is quoted on its own, so other lighting or board work on the same site does not sit inside the grant claim.
- Match any requested record
- If your landlord, insurer or grant form asks for a named certificate or test sheet, we issue that record against the charger circuit.
- Certification and records
- You keep the NICEIC certificate, the test results and the charger details for the Workplace Charging Scheme and for the building file.
Where the rules come from
Two public guides sit behind a workplace charger job: the grant rules for applicants, and electrical safety at work.
- Workplace Charging Scheme, guidance for applicantsGov.uk sets who can claim, what hardware counts and how the application works at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/workplace-charging-scheme-guidance-for-applicants
- HSE, electrical safety at workThe Health and Safety Executive sets how electrical work is done on a workplace at https://www.hse.gov.uk/electricity/
Why customers choose MCI Electrical
The board is opened and checked before a figure is written, so the charger sits on a supply that has been seen rather than assumed.
