How do I know an installer can actually deliver a fleet depot?

OZEV authorisation is necessary but not sufficient — it covers commercial work generally, not depot scale specifically. Ask for two redacted recent depot projects of similar socket count and supply level, and ask whether load management is baked in or an add-on.

Which grant applies to my fleet site?

If it is a workplace car park with staff and fleet parking, the Workplace Charging Scheme (up to £500/socket, the rate in force since 1 April 2026) applies. If it is a dedicated fleet depot moving zero-emission HGVs, vans or coaches, the new Depot Charging Scheme is the better fit — 70% of chargepoint and civil costs up to £1m per organisation, first window 25 March – 30 June 2026.

Can I stack the WCS with the Depot Charging Scheme?

Not generally on the same sockets. A good installer applies whichever scheme fits each site type; mixed-use sites are split by use case in the application.

How long does a fleet depot installation take?

On a site with adequate existing supply, 8–14 weeks from order. On a site that needs a DNO reinforcement or new transformer, lead times are 6–18 months end-to-end — the DNO works are the long pole.

Do these installers cover the whole UK?

Most do — OZEV authorisation is national. The directory lists each installer at their registered office postcode, but service radius is wider. Confirm coverage when you ring.

Fleet EV Charging Installers UK — 1132 Verified OZEV-Authorised Providers

Fleet EV Charging Installers UK

For fleet operators running vans, HGVs or company cars. 1132 OZEV-authorised commercial EV charging installers on the official GOV.UK list, filtered to those offering commercial work — independent, free, and rebuilt weekly.

Fleet EV charging is its own discipline. Charging twenty vans overnight is not "home chargers, twenty times over" — it is a load-management, supply-sizing and back-office problem. The installer you pick has to think in diversity factors, G99 connection applications and OCPP back-offices, not single sockets.

The 1132 installers on this page are all OZEV-authorised for commercial work on the public GOV.UK list — the same authorisation that covers fleet depot installs. OZEV does not publish a separate "fleet specialist" sub-tag, so the right next step is to shortlist three, then ask each for a recent comparable fleet project. The EV charging for fleets guide sets out what a credible answer looks like.

Typical fleet charging scope

Depot AC, 7–22 kW per bay — overnight charging for vans, cars and light commercial vehicles returning to base. Load management is usually mandatory: 20 × 11 kW is 220 kW of unmanaged peak.
Depot DC rapid, 50–150 kW — for HGVs, coaches and back-to-back van duty cycles. Almost always needs DNO reinforcement.
Mixed workplace + fleet sites — staff and pool cars share infrastructure; load management and tariff strategy separate operating cost from over-spec.

Grants that apply to fleet projects

Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) — up to £500 per socket (the rate in force since 1 April 2026; was £350), covering up to 75% of cost, capped at 40 sockets per applicant. Scheme funded to 31 March 2027. Eligible for off-street staff/fleet parking. See the WCS guide.
Depot Charging Scheme — new for 2026. Funds 70% of chargepoint and civil costs (trenching, cabling, electrical upgrades) at fleet depots, capped at £1m per organisation. First application window: 25 March – 30 June 2026; works to be completed by 31 March 2027. Aimed at zero-emission HGVs, vans and coaches. See the grant guide.

Questions to ask every fleet installer

Have you delivered a fleet depot of this socket count and power before? Show me a redacted recent example.
Is dynamic load management baked in, or a paid add-on?
Is the G99 (DNO) application included, with a separate budget line for DNO works?
Are WCS and (where applicable) the Depot Charging Scheme shown explicitly on your quote?
What OCPP back-office and what does it cost beyond year one?

For worked numbers — including a 20-van depot at £83k gross / £39k net after the Depot Charging Scheme — see the commercial EV charger installation costs guide.
