Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining immense popularity. Businesses aiming to not just survive, but thrive in this evolving electric landscape must stay ahead of the curve.
With EV charger incentives becoming commonplace across the UK, it's crucial for organisations to capitalise on this and proactively establish their own EV charging infrastructure, catering to the needs of both employees and customers.
Future-proof your business and operations
In the coming decade, the Government will intensify its push for businesses to prioritise environmentally friendly vehicle choices and fleet management. For organisations where employees are responsible for their own transportation, influencing the adoption of EVs can yield financial benefits too.
To gain a competitive edge and effectively navigate the substantial growth of the EV market, businesses must consider installing EV chargers now. By taking proactive steps to embrace this technology, organisations can position themselves as leaders in their industry and future-proof their operations for the inevitable shift.
Show you’re serious about sustainability
By installing EV chargers at your business, you’ll reduce your carbon footprint while signalling to the world that you are serious about sustainability. You not only bolster your business's reputation, but also inspire and motivate your staff and customers to make the switch to EVs.
Take advantage of financial incentives
Monetise - Unlock the earning potential of your EV chargers by implementing a charging system that allows you to bill visitors and employees for using your EV chargers. With most back-office systems, you can establish different tariffs for different users. To attract a wider user base, consider registering your workplace on an EV charging map like Zap-Map, opening up your EV chargers to all EV users.
Take advantage of grants - The initial cost of investing in EV charging infrastructure can sometimes serve as a hurdle to businesses. However, this barrier can be overcome through various Government grant funding options available to workplaces.
Explore opportunities such as The Workplace Charging Scheme (with final applications accepted until March 2024) and the EV Infrastructure Grant for Staff and Fleets. To learn more about accessing these grants, refer to our comprehensive guide to EV charging grants.
Reduced operating costs - If you move to an electric fleet for your business, you’ll reap financial benefits such as reduced emissions, operating costs and no road tax.
