Charging Point at work
Discussion
Now I have my 330e on order I want to look at charging it (I don't really need to as I have a fuel card but wouldn't mind if it was easy)
We dont have any charging points at work so while I can plug it in with the 3 pin, a charging point would be cool (and fit with our company ethos)
Before I speak to the relevant people are there any benefits for the company in getting one installed? I can see there is a £300 grant which doesnt bring the cost down much) is that the only incentive?

I don't believe there are any financial benefits for the company.
I arranged to have 5 fitted at our offices; no real benefit to anybody but the driver. It does give a whole 'sustainability' vibe though, which is handy in my industry.
If you do get them fitted, unless you have 24hr monitored parking, make sure the installer fits a timed isolator to the circuit. You don't really want Joe Public charging his car off the company grid during the night.

Agree on sustainability vibe, we have similar as we are Print/Pack/Recycling
Good shout on the timing, although to come to our office you really have to be coming here, its not a place you just drive past
Well I must admit I doubted you guys, but no you are correct. Spoke to MD and he had previously looked into it and yeah it not as easy at it looks
As I am the only one with a hybrid due for now he's gonna chuck a 3 pin weatherproof socket outside (near where I park) for the maintenance guy to plug his leafblower into
He has said he thinks the Hybrids in the car park will explode this year as most people are seeing the BIK benefits at which point he may get a few proper posts installed and deal with the HMRC nonsense
