Workplace charging is a power-system design, not a single wallbox impulse buy. Load availability, access control, billing and future bay count should sit in the brief before hardware is chosen.
What this service usually involves
- Load assessment and diversity
- Single or multi-bay layouts
- Access control and energy reporting
- Maintenance and expansion path
What a useful quote should cover
Ask for the same scope from every company: charger model, mount position, cable route and length, electrics, access, working hours, VAT, exclusions, grant paperwork and warranty route. A low headline total with vague allowances is harder to compare than a complete written proposal.
Compare evidence, not badges
Ask each business for the legal name that will contract with you, relevant individual and company credentials, insurance details, equipment schedule, exclusions, warranty route and payment terms. Verify evidence with the issuing body where possible. Read what we check and what you should verify.
