As more and more of us are taking steps to reduce our carbon footprint and venturing into the use of renewable energy, you may have noticed the increase in electric vehicles or EV on the roads. EV avoid the use of traditional fuels such as petrol and diesel which are huge contributors of carbon dioxide which is a greenhouse gas.
The majority of the population are now appealing to their employers and companies they use on a regular basis to also make steps to becoming more ‘green’ and environmentally friendly.
There is greater demand for more EV charging points to keep up with the sheer number of EV on the road, this in itself creates more opportunities for businesses such as yourself.
Back to topEMC Electrical Group have installed a number of EV charging points at commercials sites across Bristol, South Wales and South West England and typically find that a ‘fast’ charging speed of 7kW or a ‘rapid’ charging speed of 150kW are preferable. Understandably, faster charging speeds are slightly more expensive but we can work with you to find the best package to meet your needs.
Back to topOnce EMC Electrical group has visited your Bristol, South Wales or South West England premises and discussed factors such as the location of the charging points, how many charging points you require, we can then get a more concrete plan into place.
We will discuss extra costs involved with the installation process such as any groundworks, additional cabling which will need to be laid and of course labour charges. Once we have a better understanding of the site your premises are on, we can share our best advice with you.
Back to topThe workplace charging scheme (wsc) and EV infrastructure grant are government grants for commercials businesses who want to invest in EV charging points. We are very familiar with both grants and can assist you with the applications if your business qualifies for the grant.
