The cheapest
way to charge
Save 20-50% on all charging costs through salary sacrifice,
at home, at the office or in public.
What is The Charge Scheme?
Our goal is to make driving an electric car accessible and affordable for everyone.
The Charge Scheme is an employee benefit that makes EV charging fairer, easier, and more affordable. Whether employees drive a company car or use a salary sacrifice scheme, they can now save 20-50% on the cost of their EV charging, at home, at work, or on the road.
Created by the award-winning team behind The Electric Car Scheme, The Charge Scheme tackles one of the biggest blockers to EV adoption: the rising cost of charging.
