Smarter charging solutions for businesses ready for the electric future.
EV charging can be more than simply an extra facility for electric vehicle drivers.
For businesses, the right charging infrastructure can support day-to-day operations, improve customer experience and create new commercial opportunities.
Give company, fleet and employee vehicles convenient access to charging at your premises.
Businesses such as retail parks, hotels, offices and leisure facilities can provide charging while customers spend time on-site.
Where appropriate, businesses can offer paid charging and generate revenue from their charging infrastructure.
EV charging can form part of a wider strategy to reduce transport-related emissions and support your sustainability objectives.
There is no single charging solution that suits every business.
The right setup depends on factors such as:
TRE can assess these requirements and help develop a charging solution suited to your site
Provide convenient charging for employees and company vehicles during working hours. Workplace charging is particularly useful for businesses where vehicles remain parked for several hours, allowing charging to take place throughout the working day.
Keep electric company and fleet vehicles ready for their next journey. Fleet charging can be planned around vehicle schedules, daily mileage and operational requirements to help minimise vehicle downtime. For businesses operating multiple vehicles, charging management can also help make better use of available electrical capacity.
Give customers and visitors the ability to charge while they use your facilities. Public and customer charging can enhance the overall customer experience, provide an additional amenity and, depending on the business model, can be offered as a free service or as a paid charging facility.
Choose the right charging solution based on how long vehicles remain on-site and how quickly they need to recharge. AC charging is generally suited to locations where vehicles remain parked for longer periods, while DC rapid charging is designed for situations where faster charging and higher vehicle turnaround are important.
AC charging is generally suited to locations where vehicles remain parked for longer periods.
Examples include –
DC charging is designed for situations where vehicles need to recharge more quickly.
It can be suitable for:
The appropriate charging capacity should be determined based on the vehicles, site requirements and available electrical infrastructure.
Installing multiple chargepoints can place additional demand on a site’s electricity supply.
Smart charging and load-management technology can help distribute available power across multiple vehicles and reduce unnecessary strain on the site’s electrical capacity.
This can be particularly useful for businesses looking to expand their charging infrastructure over time.
A properly designed system can help businesses:
Assess → Design → Install → Manage
We start by understanding how your business operates, how vehicles are used and what you want your charging infrastructure to achieve.
We consider parking arrangements, available electrical capacity, potential charger locations and future requirements.
We develop a charging setup based on your current and expected future requirements.
The required charging infrastructure is installed and commissioned in accordance with the project's technical requirements.
Where required, charging management and monitoring solutions can help businesses manage usage and understand their energy consumption.
Your EV requirements may change as your business transitions towards electric vehicles. Rather than designing a system only for today's needs, TRE can help businesses consider how their charging infrastructure could develop over time.
We look at EV charging as part of your wider energy strategy.
Your business, vehicles and electrical infrastructure determine the right solution.
Where suitable, EV charging can be combined with solar, battery storage and other renewable technologies.
We consider how your charging requirements could develop as your business moves towards greater EV adoption.
This depends on your number of vehicles, charging habits, parking time, daily mileage and available electrical capacity. A site assessment can help determine the appropriate number and type of chargepoints.
AC charging is generally better suited to locations where vehicles remain parked for longer periods, while DC charging is more appropriate where faster charging and quicker vehicle turnaround are required.
Yes. EV charging can be integrated with commercial solar PV, allowing businesses to use renewable electricity generated on-site for vehicle charging.
Potentially. Smart charging and load-management systems can help distribute available electrical capacity across multiple chargepoints. However, each site needs to be assessed individually.
Depending on the charging solution and business model, commercial chargepoints can be configured for private or public use, with payment options available where appropriate.
A properly planned system can be designed with future expansion in mind. The ability to add more chargepoints will depend on the site’s electrical capacity and infrastructure.
