Electric Vehicle Charge Points

EV Charging

Installing electric vehicle (EV) charge points can provide significant benefits for businesses, particularly as more employees, customers and company vehicles switch from petrol and diesel to electric vehicles.

EV charging infrastructure allows businesses to provide convenient charging for company vehicles, employees, customers and visitors. For businesses operating electric vans or cars, on-site charging can also reduce reliance on public charging networks and help ensure vehicles are ready for use when required.

Key benefits for businesses

  • Support fleet electrification – Businesses can charge company cars, vans and other EVs on-site, making it easier to transition away from petrol and diesel vehicles.

  • Reduce vehicle running costs – Charging an EV on-site can be considerably cheaper than conventional fuel, particularly when electricity is generated from on-site solar PV.

  • Attract and retain employees – Workplace charging can be a valuable employee benefit, particularly as EV ownership continues to increase.

  • Improve customer experience – Retail, hospitality, leisure and other customer-facing businesses can offer charging while customers are on the premises.

  • Generate additional revenue – Businesses can charge customers or visitors for electricity used, creating a potential additional income stream.

  • Make better use of renewable energy – EV chargers can be integrated with solar PV and battery storage, allowing businesses to use more of their own generated electricity rather than exporting it to the grid.

  • Support sustainability targets – EV charging can contribute towards reducing transport-related carbon emissions and demonstrate a commitment to environmental responsibility.

  • Future-proof the business – Installing suitable electrical infrastructure now can help businesses prepare for the continued growth of electric vehicles and increasingly stringent emissions requirements.

Integration with solar and battery storage

For commercial premises, EV charging can be particularly effective when combined with solar PV and battery storage. Solar generation can be used to charge vehicles during the working day, while batteries can provide additional power when solar generation is insufficient or help manage peak electricity demand.

A properly designed system can therefore combine solar generation, battery storage, energy-efficient electrical systems and EV charging to reduce overall energy costs and improve the site's energy efficiency.
