EV Chargers
A wide number of businesses across the UK are starting to embrace new technologies that support them within their own decarbonisation goals. One of the biggest changes noted for commercial businesses is the adoption of electric vehicle (EV) charging which is a service that can be utilised by both employees and customers.
What are the benefits?
As a society, we have started to move towards utilising hybrid and even fully electric vehicles. With further advancements being made within this landscape all the time, the benefits of businesses moving to electric fleet are vast. One of the biggest advantages is that the use of EV vehicles can play a huge role in reducing the carbon footprint of your business. Through switching from traditional petrol or diesel vehicles, you can directly contribute to creating cleaner air and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting the wider goal of decarbonisation and reducing the reliance on other fuel types. For any businesses already utilising EV but without their own charging stations, they will also note a reduction in costs. On-site charging facilities means businesses can take advantage of off-peak energy tariffs, charging vehicles overnight, reducing electricity costs whilst also reducing downtime due to off-site charging. Investing in EV chargers can also provide an additional revenue stream for businesses, allowing employees and visitors the opportunity to pay to charge their vehicles. This could particularly beneficial within areas where there are limited locations for charging. Furthermore, the technology could help to support future growth for the business, as the ability to charge their vehicle on-site could be an important bonus or perk for prospective team members.
Supporting Decarbonisation Goals
The growth in the EV market is part of a wider, global goal for decarbonisation. The adoption of EV not only works towards this in a positive way for businesses, but it can also help employees and clients follow suit. The availability of on-site EV chargers means employees may also be able to invest in an electric vehicle and take advantage of the on-site charging points. This not only helps reduce their own personal costs, but it means they too are supporting decarbonisation. From a customer perspective, on-site EV chargers can strengthen your reputation as an organisation. Working with like-minded businesses who share the same values and goals is of great importance for many businesses. The adoption of EV chargers shows that your business is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility which will attract environmentally conscious clients.
