Commercial EV Charging
Chargers available from Zappi, Tesla, Wallbox and more.
With the increasing interest in electric vehicles, due to Government electric car schemes and the future ban of new petrol and diesel cars, a whole host of necessary changes to infrastructure have had to come about. This includes retailers introducing charging points within customer parking and charging points for businesses.
Which Businesses Need EV Charging Points?
Different businesses may need to assess the requirement to instal electric car charging points at their office location in different ways. For example:
- Large office complexes need to think about employees who require electric charging points for vehicles they drive to work. Currently 75% of EV users are unable to charge their cars at work.
- Businesses with an electric commercial fleet, such as logistics companies, will require commercial electric car charging stations to accommodate large number of company-owned vehicles.
- Taxi firms with electric vehicles in their fleet could benefit from having charging points on the premises.
- Leasing firms with electric vehicles on offer will need to ensure there is sufficient charging available for testing and demonstrating purposes.
