How Does Commercial EV Charging Installation Work?

Thinking about installing EV chargers for your business but worried it’ll be a complicated process? You’re not alone. Many business owners assume that EV charging installation is disruptive, expensive, or full of red tape.

The truth? With the right installer by your side, it’s a smooth, fully supported process that can be completed with minimal hassle and maximum benefit.

Here’s how a commercial EV charging installation works when you partner with a trusted provider like Midland Fire.

Step 1: Consultation and Site Survey

Everything starts with a conversation.

We’ll arrange for one of our qualified engineers to visit your site and carry out a full survey. This includes checking:

• Your existing electrical supply
• Parking layout and space availability
• Any groundwork or upgrades needed

We’ll also chat with you about your current needs and future plans. Whether you’re supporting a small team or a growing fleet, we’ll tailor our advice to suit your business.

You’ll then receive a clear breakdown of:

• Project costs
• Timescales
• Available government grants to help reduce your upfront spend

Step 2: Securing Grant Funding

EV charging might be more affordable than you think thanks to government funding.

Through the OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme, businesses can claim:

• Up to 75 percent of the cost
• A maximum of £350 per socket
• Up to 40 sockets across your business

Midland Fire is an OZEV-approved installer. We can guide you through the application process and redeem your grant for you, so you see the savings directly on your invoice.

Step 3: System Design and Proposal

Once funding is confirmed, we’ll design a system that works for your site and your needs.

This includes:

• Recommendations on charger type and smart features
• Options for staff-only or public access
• A fixed quote and a clear project timeline

You’ll know exactly what to expect, with no hidden costs or technical confusion.

Step 4: Installation and Testing

Next comes installation, carried out by our qualified engineers with full attention to safety and compliance.

• Chargers are mounted securely and connected to your electrical system
• Cabling is routed neatly and safely
• The system is tested in line with UK regulations to ensure everything runs as it should

Our aim is to minimise disruption and get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Step 5: Setup, Training and Ongoing Support

Once the installation is complete, we don’t just hand over the keys and walk away.

We’ll provide:

• On-site training so your staff know how to use and manage the chargers
• Ongoing maintenance and support to keep everything working long-term
• Advice on scaling your system as your EV needs grow

You’ll always have someone to call if you need help or advice.
