Frequently asked questions

How long does workplace EV charger installation take?

Installation times vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. A small workplace installation may take just a few days, while larger or fleet-focused projects can take longer.

Following a site survey, SGS Energy will give you a clear timescale and schedule the work to minimise disruption to your operations.

‍

Will we need to upgrade our electrical supply?

Not always. A site survey will confirm whether your existing electrical supply can support the planned chargers.

Where capacity is limited, load balancing can distribute the available power between vehicles and reduce the need for an immediate supply upgrade. Larger installations may require additional electrical infrastructure.

‍

Can workplace EV chargers use solar energy?

Yes. Workplace EV chargers can be combined with commercial solar panels so that vehicles use more electricity generated on site.

Battery storage can also save surplus solar electricity for charging later, helping businesses reduce grid use and make better use of their renewable generation.

‍

How do businesses manage and monitor workplace EV charging?

Smart workplace EV chargers connect to a central management platform, giving you a clear view of how the chargers are being used and who is using them. From the same platform, you can manage driver access, set charging prices and produce reports for billing, expenses and energy monitoring.

Can workplace EV chargers be used by employees, visitors and fleet vehicles?

Yes. A workplace EV charging system can be configured for employees, visitors, company vehicles or a combination of all three.

Access can be controlled through a mobile app or a staff charging card, with each driver linked to their own account.

How much does workplace EV charging cost?

The cost of workplace EV charging varies from site to site. It will depend on the scale of the installation, the charger speeds required and how much electrical or groundwork is needed to connect everything safely.

SGS Energy can survey your site and provide a tailored proposal covering the chargers, installation and any supporting infrastructure.
