What are the benefits of installing electric chargers in car parks?

Every car park should consider installing EV chargers. As the demand for electric vehicles increases, more EV drivers search for places to charge their cars when out and about, or on a road trip.

Installing electric vehicle chargers in car parks can benefit your business by attracting customers and building revenue.

We’ve shared a guide explaining why installing electric chargers benefits your business.

The benefits of EV chargers in car parks

 

Attracting more customers and increasing footfall

EV drivers seek charging stations when deciding where to park their car, whether for a short or long stay. Installing EV chargers means your car park will pop up in searches, and you can attract new or existing customers to stay in your car park. 

When EV drivers charge their cars, they need to keep busy. Customers are likely to spend more time at nearby businesses, such as retail and dining places,  supporting local businesses.

 

Enhance the brand’s sustainable image

With the increase in a societal green ethos, many businesses, including car parks, can show commitment to green initiatives and improve their company’s reputation. Environmentally conscious customers actively search for businesses that match their ethos, and you can attract them to your car park.

Your sustainable image and future-proof design can also attract corporate clients who practise the same forward-thinking approach and drive electric cars.  

 

Future-proof your car park

Electric cars are the future. The electric car market is significantly expanding, with 19.6% of UK new car registrations in 2024. With that growth, getting ahead of the curve will benefit your business as a place EV drivers can rely on to charge their cars.

You’ll stand out by offering essential services for the growing EV market and encourage customer loyalty.

 

Optimise parking spaces

Every car park should maximise efficiency, balancing charging station placement to meet the needs of electric vehicle drivers. With efficient placement, you can improve the flow and rates in your car park.

 

Price models for EV chargers in carparks: 

  • Pay-as-you-go EV charging: Customers pay every time they visit the car park and use the electric charge point.

  • Free EV charging: This isn’t a direct revenue stream; however, this long-term investment can align with organic business growth, where visitors will pay for car park facilities.

  • Loyalty pricing for regular EV charging: Ideal for customers who use the car park regularly, such as those who work nearby.
