ECCUK were contacted by management at Unusual Rigging enquiring about the process of establishing their needs and costings for the fitting of workplace EV charging stations. The management had identified numerous places in the new car park that was being built along with the new multi-million pound offices where they wanted chargers for their customers and their own fleet of electric vehicles.
The process of fitting the commercial electric vehicle chargers involved several crucial steps which ECCUK and Unusual Rigging management worked closely together on. These included:
Workplace EV Charger Site Assessment:
ECCUK conducted a thorough assessments of the various sites to identify optimal locations for EV chargers for the business considering accessibility, power supply, and future expansion possibilities.
EV Charger Selection
ECCUK carefully selected commercial EV chargers based on the expected usage patterns, charging speed requirements, and compatibility with various electric vehicle models. Consideration was also given to scalability for future expansion of the Fleet and customer EV charging infrastructure.
Cost Analysis and Budgeting:
ECCUK worked closely with the management at Unusual Rigging and conducted a comprehensive EV charger installation cost analysis, factoring in ongoing maintenance expenses and electricity consumption to develop a budget that aligned with Unusual Rigging financial objectives.
The electrical power infrastructure across the site was sufficient with what the company had in mind with more power available if required for future proofing. So, no hurdles were identified to the EV charger roll out across the business.
Solution Implementation
The process of fitting the fleet and customer electric vehicle chargers was carried out by the ECCUK installation team. Once the EV chargers were live and operational the chargers were set up on a back-end EV charger management portal which allowed the Unusual Riggings management team to fully manage the usage of the fleet and customer EV chargers.
The final training and handover process was handled by the ECCUK office where the Unusual Rigging management were shown how to use the EV chargers and the EV charger management portal.
The successful implementation of the fleet and customer EV charger infrastructure has brought about several positive outcomes for Unusual Rigging . Including increased satisfaction among employees, customers and visitors who now had convenient access to EV charging and the financial benefits to the company of having pay to charge EV chargers on their sites.
While fleet and commercial EV charger installations have initial investment costs, the long-term benefits include the extra revenue from EV charger users and helps Unusual Rigging with their continued move towards sustainable business practices.
Conclusion:
Fitting a commercial electric vehicle charger proved to be a transformative step for Unusual Rigging, showcasing the benefits of sustainable practices within the business. This case study highlights the importance of strategic planning, and the positive impact that such initiatives can have on a company’s image, employee satisfaction, and the bottom line.
