EV Chargers – A complete guide to costs, grants, and smart choices

 

Installing EV chargers at your company is not only a step towards a greener future, but also an investment in the company's attractiveness and sustainability.

With increasing demand for electric cars among employees and customers, access to charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important.

 

What do EV chargers for businesses cost?

The cost of installing EV chargers varies depending on several factors, including the type of charger, the number of charging points, and installation conditions.

The average cost usually ranges between the price of a wall-mounted charging box, which is between SEK 13,000 and SEK 26,000, while a charging pole can cost between SEK 17,000 and SEK 30,000.

These prices are also after deductions from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (green deduction).

 

What grants and support are available for businesses?

Companies can apply for the "Charge the car" grant via the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, which can cover up to 50% of the costs for purchasing and installing charging stations, with a cap of SEK 15,000 per charging point.

This grant applies to chargers not intended for public use.

 

What EV chargers are there to choose from?

  • Wall-mounted charging boxes – Cost-effective and easy to install, especially if parking spaces are close to buildings.
  • Charging poles – Flexible in placement but often require more extensive installation, including groundwork.
  • Fast chargers (DC) – Offer fast charging and are suitable for locations with high throughput, such as shops or restaurants.
  • Ultra-fast chargers – With a capacity of up to 600 kW, they are suitable for companies with a need for very fast charging, a good example of this is logistics companies.

 

Who pays for the charging?

Companies can choose to cover the electricity cost or let users pay.

If users are to pay, options include direct payment at the time of charging or payroll deduction.

It is important to choose a solution that suits the company's policy and users' needs.
