I INSTALLCHARGEPOINTS ATMY BUSINESS?

Truthfully, this isn’t a question I get asked daily.

Most of the businesses I engage with have already identified a need for electric vehicle charging infrastructure, that is why they get in touch…

As we enter a New Year and eagerly await an update on the OLEV Workplace Chargepoint Funding – hoping this may be extended past the 31st March deadline…

Let’s take a look at some of the benefits of installing electric vehicle charge points in your organisation:

• Happy employees…By providing a facility for your employees to charge their vehicle whilst at work, you are making their lives a little bit easier. As an EV driver, I know all too well – I rely on the chargepoint at work, it really is a pivotal part of my re-charging routine, every single day!

• Reduce your carbon footprint! You don’t have to be a tree-hugger to care about the environment and you might even get some good PR or a couple of awards out of it too.

• More customers, that stay longer and hopefully spend more money. Did you know that some EV drivers will only visit a place to charge their vehicles? By having an EV charging facility, you can attract a whole different type of customer. A customer who is greedy for electricity. A customer who is enthusiastic to plug-in to charge at new places. A customer that would rather charge in a public place than charge at home, using their own electricity… Yep, you guessed it, I’m talking about myself again!

• Convenience for clients and a positive brand reputation. EV Chargepoints outside of your office or factory offer an attractive facility for guests who can charge while visiting or in a meeting.

• Switch your fleet to electric, save money, improve efficiency and reduce CO2! Get ahead of the game.

• Funding on workplace chargepoints. You can claim £500 per socket for up to 20 charging sockets…but only until the pot runs out.

So, what are you waiting for?
