With speculation around potential Budget changes and shifting incentives for electric vehicle users, many Scottish businesses are taking a closer look at their EV strategies. At ORKA, we’ve seen a noticeable rise in organisations wanting clear, practical advice on whether workplace charging still makes commercial sense.
The short answer?
Yes — and more than ever.
A business decision, not just an environmental one
Workplace charging is rapidly becoming an expected facility for employees and visitors. Organisations offering reliable EV charging send a clear message:
we’re forward-thinking, sustainable, and ready for what comes next.
Even with changes to policy or incentives, the operational benefits remain strong. Electric vehicles continue to offer lower running costs than petrol or diesel, particularly for high-mileage users and fleet-based businesses. Installing chargers on-site brings those savings directly into the organisation instead of relying on more expensive public charging.
Staying ahead of policy shifts
While the Budget may influence short-term incentives, the long-term trajectory is unchanged:
Scotland is moving toward a low-carbon future, and businesses will be expected to keep pace.
Acting early avoids the cost and pressure of playing catch-up once regulations tighten.
Expert guidance for confident decisions
Duncan Booth, Director at ORKA Solutions, said:
“We’re advising companies to focus on long-term value rather than short-term policy changes. Workplace charging still delivers commercial, operational and sustainability benefits — and those who act early will stay ahead of future regulation.”
