Commercial EV Charging Finance
Charging infrastructure is civils, power and software. Fund all three.
The chargepoint is rarely the expensive part. Trenching, switchgear, supply upgrades and payment systems are, and they need funding too.
Typical project size , £40,000 – £2,000,000
What usually gets in the way
- Quotes arrive split across installer, DNO and software vendor.
- Supply upgrade costs land late and blow the approved budget.
- Revenue-generating charging needs funding that survives a ramp-up period.
Why businesses finance it
- Fund the whole install as one asset rather than three disconnected invoices.
- Start earning or saving before the capital is fully repaid.
- Protect cash for the operating side of the business.
