CASE STUDIES

EV Charger Installation at Local Business

Installing new EV chargers for a local business is one of the most effective ways to support modern workplace needs and provide greater convenience for staff and visitors. In this case, we were contacted by a business owner who wanted to introduce reliable charging facilities on their premises. The aim was simple: make the site more accessible, enhance sustainability efforts and future-proof the property as electric vehicle use continues to grow. Although the installation may seem straightforward, the chargers now play an important role in the day-to-day operation of the business and contribute to a more forward-thinking environment.

Understanding the client’s goals allowed us to create a clear installation plan that met their expectations.

Our work began with a general assessment of the site to identify the most practical and accessible locations for the chargers. This involved looking at available space, discussing the number of charging points required and ensuring the installation would integrate neatly with existing facilities. Once the plan was agreed, our team completed the installation with minimal disruption, fitting the chargers securely and ensuring they connected safely to the existing electrical infrastructure. Before the upgrade, the business had no dedicated charging points, which limited the options for both staff and customers. Installing EV chargers gave them a dependable, modern solution that aligns with how people travel and work today.

Convenience

One of the strongest motivations for the business was the reassurance that professionally installed EV chargers would support their long-term operational needs. While there is no single law that states EV chargers must be installed in workplaces, businesses are expected to follow recognised safety standards. For this project, every stage was completed in line with best practice, giving the client confidence that their new charging facilities were safe, reliable and ready for daily use. Without this reassurance, they could have faced challenges during inspections, insurance checks or future property reviews.

The installation also supported the company’s insurance requirements. Many insurers expect electrical upgrades to be carried out responsibly and documented thoroughly. By providing clear evidence of the work, the business demonstrated that risks were being managed effectively. In the event of an electrical incident, this documentation helps avoid delays or complications with claims, offering an additional layer of protection.

Reducing operational disruption was another key objective. Before the installation, employees relied on off-site charging, which often caused inconvenience and occasional delays. By introducing dedicated on-site chargers, the business eliminated this issue and supported a smoother working routine. Even small improvements in daily logistics can enhance productivity, and the new chargers provided a noticeable benefit for staff who rely on electric vehicles.

The new charging facilities also helped create a more modern, welcoming and environmentally conscious workplace. Staff expressed confidence knowing the chargers were professionally installed and regularly maintained. Clear signage, accessible placement and straightforward operation all contributed to a better experience, encouraging more employees to consider switching to electric vehicles in the future. The improvement also aligned with the business’s sustainability ambitions, strengthening its reputation with clients and visitors.

The entire installation was completed efficiently and with respect for the business’s working hours. We scheduled our work around busy periods to minimise disruption and kept the client updated throughout the process. Once finished, we provided full documentation outlining the installation, confirming safe operation and offering guidance on long-term use and maintenance. These records can be used for internal audits, insurance purposes or future planning. As workplaces continue to adapt to changing transport habits, installing EV chargers has become a simple, cost-effective way to enhance convenience, support sustainability and improve the overall working environment. This project delivered reassurance, practical benefits and a future-ready upgrade designed around the needs of the business.
