Why should businesses consider installing EV charging points?
There are several reasons why businesses of all types should consider investing in EV charging points.
Multiple stakeholders can benefit, and it’s important to recognise that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t apply. Additionally, intangible factors like brand image and reputation should be taken into account.

ThermoFisher cut energy costs by 15% without any upfront or ongoing costs
Custodian Capital are one of our repeat clients and partners. By installing an 830 kW solar system on one of their properties, they were able to pass on a 15% reduction in energy costs to ThermoFisher.
This is under a common arrangement called a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) whereby an asset manager will fund and maintain an installation under an agreement to sell the energy at a reduced rate to the property user.
