Workplace EV Charging: The Employee Benefit That Pays for Itself

The Rise of Workplace Charging

As EV adoption accelerates, employees are increasingly looking for workplaces that offer charging. For employers, this represents both a talent attraction opportunity and a potential revenue stream.

Workplace charging is one of the fastest-growing segments of the EV charging market — and for good reason.

Why Employees Want Workplace Charging

For EV-driving employees, workplace charging is incredibly convenient:

• 8+ hours of parking provides plenty of time for a full charge on Level 2 equipment
• No need to charge at home — especially valuable for employees without home charging access
• Reduced range anxiety knowing their car will be fully charged for the commute home
• Cost savings compared to public fast charging stations

Benefits for Employers

Offering workplace charging delivers tangible business benefits:

• Talent attraction — EV charging is a sought-after perk, especially among younger professionals
• Employee retention — Charging access increases job satisfaction and reduces turnover
• Sustainability goals — Workplace charging helps meet corporate ESG and carbon reduction targets
• Brand image — Demonstrates commitment to sustainability and innovation
• Revenue potential — Employers can charge a fee for workplace charging and generate income

Funding Workplace Charging

Workplace charging projects qualify for the same generous incentives as other commercial installations:

• Federal 30C tax credit
• State workplace charging grants (many states have specific programs)
• Utility make-ready programs
• Sustainability-focused corporate grants

With incentives covering a large portion of costs, the payback period for workplace charging can be remarkably short.

Implementation Options

Employers can structure workplace charging in several ways:

• Free charging as an employee perk (similar to free parking or coffee)
• Subsidized rates below public charging prices
• Market-rate pricing through a networked platform with payment processing
• Tiered access — free for some employees, paid for others or visitors
