Workplace EV Charging

Adding an EV charger to your business literally gets you on the map.

Anyone that drives an electric vehicle knows that they must plan their journeys (especially long ones) according to where they can charge their vehicle. EV Drivers today use maps that display where charging stations are located, so when you install an EV charger at your business, you’re getting yourself on the map. This makes people aware that you have a charger, encouraging them to stop by while boosting your brand’s reputation, as one that is making a difference and caring for the environment.

Our smart charger management tools give business owners the opportunity to tailor their charging stations to their business needs by controlling who pays for the charging and how much they pay for it. As an example, an office building may decide to open their chargers or offer a discount for employees using a company RFID card to charge their cars, while other visitors in the building pay a fee. Other businesses offer the charging station as a free service for an initial period of time.

EV chargers can create an additional stream of revenue while encouraging EV drivers to visit the business location. EVs help brands to attract loyal customers whilst giving employees an incentive to drive an EV to work.

Sustainability is important, businesses globally are going green, reducing their carbon footprint, and doing their part to benefit the environment. It’s become an expectation that businesses exhibit a corporate social responsibility and do their part to protect the environment.

Installing EV chargers is one of the biggest ways to make a true impact on your business’ environmental footprint. By installing an EV charger, your business is doing its part in helping to change the EV landscape. Giving drivers access to EV chargers is a critical step in promoting the purchase and use of EVs, as drivers must make sure they will have access to chargers if needed.

Even though Australia has had some of the slowest growth of EV sales, current trends show that electric car sales are increasing year on year. This is an opportunity for companies that are not yet in the market. As the infrastructure continues to grow in Australia, early adopters of EV charging stations will have the upper hand in offering services that many of their competitors will be lacking.

Adding EV chargers in a company’s parking lot can be included as a staff benefit. When new employees come in to discuss their employment terms including hours, salary, and holidays etc., you can offer EV charging sessions as a benefit for the employee from the get-go.

While this may seem like a relatively small thing, these small gestures are what keep employees around and make them appreciated. Even if an employee doesn’t have an EV when s/he starts with the company, they will enjoy the idea of having access to a charger, if necessary, in the future.

Having EV chargers is also a statement in the eyes of interviewees. Presenting the idea of having EV chargers to people interested in working at the company shows a lot about the company’s personality and ideals. It shows commitment to sustainability and the planet’s future.

The world needs businesses to take bold steps to promote new technologies and ways to help our environment remain green and functional. 

Right now, we are at the point where businesses can become industry leaders in the EV scene. While many major companies have already announced bold initiatives to reduce and eliminate carbon footprint, there is still the opportunity for smaller businesses to get in on the trend before the commercial advantage diminishes.
