Commercial / Industrial EV Charging Points

  • High-capacity, rapid electric vehicle charging infrastructure for workplaces.
  • Perfect for commercial fleets, employee perks, and client parking areas.
  • Features smart load-balancing to protect your main distribution board from overloading.
  • Installed by OZEV-registered contractors to help reduce corporate carbon emissions.

Commercial and industrial EV charging points are dedicated, high-capacity charging stations installed at business premises to power electric vehicles. As the UK transition towards electric transport accelerates, businesses are increasingly finding that standard, slow chargers are no longer sufficient. From workplace car parks to industrial fleet depots, installing rapid, intelligent electric vehicle charging infrastructure has become a key requirement for modern operations.

This service is primarily sought after by business owners, commercial landlords, and facilities managers who need to support an electric fleet, provide staff perks, or accommodate visiting clients. Professionally installed charging stations are vital to handle high daily usage and complex load requirements. A professional installation ensures that the chargers are safely integrated with your existing distribution boards without overloading your electrical supply.

Investing in commercial EV chargers delivers significant long-term value, exceptional efficiency, and enhanced green credentials. Having the work carried out by qualified contractors guarantees strict compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations and IET codes of practice. Ultimately, this professional approach provides a reliable, future-proof energy solution that keeps your business moving and supports your environmental goals.

Why This Service Matters

Fleet Operational Efficiency

Transitioning to an electric fleet requires reliable, high-speed charging infrastructure to minimise vehicle downtime. Dedicated commercial chargers ensure your delivery vans, company cars, and service vehicles are fully powered and ready to go. Having high-capacity chargers on-site guarantees maximum operational reliability, keeping your daily logistics running on schedule.

Attracting and Retaining Talent

Providing reliable workplace charging points is an incredibly attractive benefit for both current employees and prospective clients. As EV adoption rises, drivers actively seek out employers and destinations that offer charging convenience. Installing professional charging stations on your premises enhances employee satisfaction, showcases progressive values, and encourages longer visitor dwell times.

Substantial Cost Savings

Installing on-site EV chargers helps businesses significantly reduce fuel and fleet expenses compared to using public charging networks. By integrating smart charging systems, you can schedule charging times to take advantage of cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs. Additionally, eligible businesses can access financial support through government initiatives like the OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme.

Supporting Corporate Sustainability

Every modern business must actively work toward reducing its environmental footprint. Transitioning your business vehicles to electric power and providing charging infrastructure directly lowers your corporate carbon emissions. This visible commitment to clean energy enhances your brand reputation, appeals to eco-conscious clients, and satisfies environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets.

FAQ’s

AC (Alternating Current) chargers are the most common type for workplaces where vehicles are parked for several hours, typically delivering between 7kW and 22kW. DC (Direct Current) chargers are rapid or ultra-rapid units that convert power before it reaches the vehicle, providing rapid charging up to 50kW or more. These are ideal for logistics depots, service stations, or businesses with fleets that need to top up power quickly. Our team can help you determine the best mix of chargers to keep your business running efficiently.

This is one of the most important considerations for any business. Before any work begins, we conduct a comprehensive electrical load survey of your commercial property to assess your existing supply capacity. If your system is close to its limit, we can install intelligent load-balancing chargers. This smart software monitors power draw in real-time, distributing energy safely and efficiently across all connected vehicles without overloading your main distribution board.

Yes. The UK government, through the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), offers financial assistance under schemes like the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS). This grant provides businesses, charities, and public sector organisations with funding towards the purchase and installation costs of EV charge points. As an OZEV registered installer, Premlex can guide you through the application process and apply the grant discount directly to your installation, helping to make the transition more affordable.

Absolutely. Modern commercial EV charging systems offer advanced software controls that allow you to manage access easily. You can restrict usage to specific employees, fleet drivers, or authorised visitors using RFID keycards, secure smartphone apps, or PIN codes. Furthermore, this software allows you to track individual energy consumption, generate usage reports for taxation purposes, and even set up billing structures if you choose to charge visitors for electricity.

The installation time depends heavily on the number of charge points, their power capacity, and the distance between your main distribution board and the parking bays. A straightforward installation of one or two wall-mounted workplace chargers might take a single day. Larger projects requiring groundworks, trenching, and cable laying across car parks can take several days or a week. We always provide a detailed project schedule and keep you updated every step of the way.

Commercial chargers are robust and designed to withstand heavy daily use and harsh weather. However, to ensure safety and reliable operation, regular preventative maintenance is highly recommended. This includes visual inspections of cables and plugs, testing the integrated safety trip switches, and updating the unit’s software. Regular servicing ensures your chargers remain compliant, safe, and fully functional, helping to protect your capital investment for the long term.
