Ogilvie Fleet is now offering leasing clients the option to fund drivers’ home chargers and installation costs via their rental agreement.

Developed in partnership with ChargedEV, the new service makes home EV charging simpler, faster and more accessible for Ogilvie leasing clients who are switching to electric vehicles.

Clients who use the service can add the cost of an Indra Smart Pro domestic charge point and standard installation to their monthly vehicle rental, spread out over the duration of the contract at no extra cost.

The new approach removes the upfront cost and administration involved in installing home charging infrastructure for drivers, which is one of the most common barriers to EV adoption, ensuring drivers have reliable charging access from day one.

Once a driver opts into the service, ChargedEV manages the end-to-end onboarding process, from carrying out a home survey and outlining technical requirements, through to a formal quotation and installation, which is typically completed within three weeks. The driver portal allows optional extras or alternative chargers to be selected, with the difference paid for by the driver.

The new service builds on a long-standing relationship between Ogilvie Fleet and ChargedEV and aligns with both firms’ focus on providing independent advice and tailored solutions that meet the needs of individual customers, rather than promoting a one-size or one product-fits-all approach.

ChargedEV delivers a nationwide design, supply, installation and maintenance service for commercial and domestic customers requiring EV charging. The company has been operating since 2013 and is one of the UK’s most established EV charging providers, with over 70,000 domestic installations and more than 3,000 commercial and fleet projects delivered nationwide.

Andrew Pealin, managing director at ChargedEV, said: “By combining our nationwide installation experience with Ogilvie’s fleet expertise, we can make the transition to electric smoother for businesses and drivers.”

For Ogilvie Fleet customers, the partnership delivers a more joined-up EV experience, combining vehicle rental and home charging into a single, managed solution that supports smoother EV adoption and long-term fleet decarbonisation.

Ashley Crookes, sales and marketing director at Ogilvie Fleet: “Our ChargedEV partnership builds on a long-standing relationship and allows us to offer a more joined-up solution for clients transitioning to electric vehicles. Access to reliable home charging is critical to successful EV adoption, but the upfront cost and complexity can be a barrier for many.”

Ogilvie Fleet manages over 25,000 vehicles in the UK, including almost 15,000 plug in-hybrid and battery electric vehicles. Almost eight in 10 (79%) of the current car order bank is made up of PHEVs and BEVs as the leasing and fleet mobility firm continues to support hundreds of businesses with their transition to electric.

Crookes added: “This is just one of the steps we are taking this year to make it easier for businesses to support drivers, control costs and accelerate their move to electric.”
