Nominate a school and get a £50 referral bonus for each charger they install

The clock is ticking for state-funded schools across the UK to apply for the government’s Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) grant. This initiative, designed to make EV charging infrastructure more accessible, is set to end soon. 

If you work at or have connections to a school in your local area that may have been considering installing EV chargepoints, now is the time to act. Plus. We’re offering a £50 referral payment for every charger they install, as our way of saying thank-you for the introduction.

Why the urgency?

The grant application deadline is fast approaching. While installations can still take place after the deadline, applications must be submitted beforehand. Delaying your application could mean missing out on substantial cost savings for your school.

The benefits of EV charging for schools

As highlighted in our previous blog, installing EV chargers on school premises offers a host of advantages:

  • Convenience for staff and visitors: Provide an essential service for EV owners.
  • Income generation: Generate additional revenue by offering public access outside school hours.
  • Sustainability leadership: Showcase your school's commitment to environmental stewardship.
  • Future-proofing: Prepare for the increasing shift to electric vehicles.

Simple application, long-term rewards

The WCS application process is straightforward and can be completed with minimal hassle. Plus, VoltShare is here to support you every step of the way – from application to installation.

Don’t miss out on this valuable opportunity to bring EV charging to a school in your community. 

Act now and make your school part of the UK’s green energy future – simply contact our team to get started before the deadline passes, or send an email to info@voltshare.co.uk to refer a school.
