Why Your Business Needs To Install An EV Charger in 2021

The number of fully Electric Vehicles (EVs) on Britain’s roads is increasing at a rapid pace. The market share of EVs went up nearly threefold in 2020 compared to 2019, with over 100,000 hitting the roads. This is, of course, creating a high demand for more charging points across the country. Here is why your business needs to install an EV charger in 2021.

One major benefit of installing an EV charger at your premises is that it could significantly increase footfall. The EV charger at your premises will appear on popular mobile applications such as Zap-Map, an app with more than 120,000 monthly users. Zap-Map allows EV drivers to locate available charging points on a map, and it includes features such as journey planning. By appearing on apps such as Zap-Map, your business will be placed in front of a large and fast growing audience of EV drivers who are seeking an EV charger for their journey or stay. Whether you operate a pub, restaurant, hotel, or other venue, having an EV charger will undoubtedly increase footfall.   

We all have a part to play in the fight against climate change, and it’s of utmost importance that we react sooner rather than later. EVs are going to play a vital role in the reduction of carbon emissions worldwide, and by showing a willingness to contribute to this goal by installing an EV charger, your business will display a very clear and visible message that you are taking the threat of climate change seriously.

EVs are quickly becoming the norm, and before long they’ll make up a much larger number of the vehicles on the road. By installing an EV charger in 2021, you can ensure that your business is future proofed to match the ever growing demand of EV chargers. By beating your competitors to installing an EV charger, you could see a larger number of their customers come to you instead. 

For an employee, having an EV charger available at their workplace may become a necessity in the near future. There is no doubting that EVs are currently much more convenient for drivers who can charge their vehicle overnight at home, yet not everyone can do this. Therefore, having an EV charger which is available to use during working hours will allow the employee to leave work with a full charge.
