Why Does Your Business Need EV Charging?
With the UK accelerating towards net-zero and the government announcing no new petrol or diesel cars will be produced past 2035; now is the time to start thinking about EV charging business opportunities. This means eventually you will need to invest in commercial electric cars and business EV charging installations. By having EV charging on site, it will save you time and money. Whether you’re a local company in Peterborough or operating nationally, the opportunity to tap into the growing EV charging business is now.
At Green Energy Switch, we offer fully funded EV charger installations for businesses, making it easier than ever to be part of the UK’s electric revolution, without the upfront costs.
What did the government announce, and why should your business care?
The government has delayed the ban on selling new petrol and diesel cars to 2035. The previous plan was to ban them by 2030. However, people will still be able to sell petrol and diesel cars second hand. The reasoning the Prime Minister gave for this change is to allow people more time to make the transition to electric cars as the upfront cost can be high.
Despite the 5-year delay on the ban on the selling of diesel and petrol cars, the transition to electric cars is still inevitable.
Businesses of all sizes are recognising the benefits of installing electric car charging points. Especially for those with fleets of EVs, but also for staff, customers, and even the wider public.
What are the benefits of having EV chargers installed?
Well, firstly, you have the environmental side of things. It means your company will be enhancing their sustainable practices, demonstrating your commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This can improve your brand image and attract eco-conscious customers.
Speaking of attracting customers, there is also the potential to generate revenue. As more people transition to electric vehicles, they will be looking for EV charging in convenient places while they shop, dine, or visit your business. You can charge them to use your charging stations.
It will also mean as time goes on, more of your staff members will transition to electric cars, you may have even already seen some make the transition. Staff will be gain the benefit of being able to charge at work, and you can offer them staff rates different to public rates.
