This guide explains how commercial EV charger installation works for UK businesses: typical phases, cost drivers, and how funding and managed models fit in. For a tailored quote, see our commercial EV page or contact ZOLB EV.
1. What counts as commercial installation?
Commercial projects cover workplaces, retail, hospitality, fleets and public-facing sites. Requirements differ from home installs: load management, access control, payment and compliance all need planning up front.
2. Typical project phases
- Site survey and connection capacity (DNO where needed)
- Design: bay layout, AC vs DC, future expansion
- Civil works and installation
- Commissioning, test and handover
- Ongoing monitoring and maintenance
3. Costs and funding
Costs depend on power available, number of bays, hardware class and groundworks. OZEV and grant routes may apply—verify eligibility on GOV.UK. ZOLB EV also offers funded and revenue-share options so sites can avoid large upfront capex.
