Workplace EV charging provides employees with a simple way to charge while they work. It can be designed around staff parking areas, company cars and office car parks, with the number of units based on demand.
Customer charging is ideal where people spend time on-site. VoltArc can help businesses provide convenient commercial EV charging points for retail, hospitality, leisure, professional services and visitor destinations.
Fleet EV charging supports businesses moving company vehicles to electric. We consider vehicle numbers, charging windows, available capacity and operational requirements so vehicles can be ready when needed.
Why Install an EV Charger at Your Business?
Workplace charging gives EV-driving employees a convenient place to recharge during the working day. It can make commuting easier, support staff retention and help your business remain attractive to current and future employees.
Offering charging can add genuine value for customers and visitors spending time at your premises. Whether they are shopping, attending a meeting or enjoying hospitality, charging availability can improve their overall experience.
Dedicated charging infrastructure can help businesses operating electric company cars, vans or other vehicles. Planned EV charger installation enables fleets to charge where they are parked, helping support daily operations.
EV ownership continues to grow across London and the surrounding counties. Installing suitable charging infrastructure now can help your business respond to changing employee, customer and fleet requirements over time.
Existing spaces can become useful charging bays for employees, visitors or fleet vehicles. A well-positioned system can improve the function of your car park without compromising safe access and vehicle movements.
Commercial charging can form part of a wider environmental strategy. Providing EV charging shows that your business is taking practical steps towards lower-emission transport and a more sustainable workplace.
Workplace charging gives employees and visitors a practical charging option during the day. We can assess staff parking areas and design business charging points around your available spaces and electrical supply.
Charging facilities can encourage customers to spend longer at your site while also supporting staff who drive electric vehicles. Suitable placement helps keep bays accessible and easy to use.
Hotels, restaurants, event venues and other hospitality businesses can offer charging as an added guest service. This is particularly useful where visitors remain on-site for extended periods.
Warehouses, workshops, industrial units and commercial sites may require charging for employees, visitors, company vehicles or vans. We plan installations around operational areas and vehicle movements.
Managed car parks and shared parking areas can benefit from multiple charging points. We can help consider charger locations, cable routes, protection measures and future expansion potential.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer. A business EV charger installation should reflect how your premises operates today while allowing sensible room for future demand. We start by understanding your parking and charging requirements rather than recommending chargers based on assumptions.
The right number of EV chargers may depend on:
Start with your current requirements, then consider how employee travel, customer behaviour and fleet electrification may change. Parking layout is also important, affecting charger positioning, cable routing, accessibility and the number of bays that can be served safely.
Where several vehicles charge at once, the electrical capacity of the building must be considered. A planned EV charger installation can include compatible load management where appropriate, helping to manage demand across multiple charging points without placing unnecessary strain on the existing electrical system.
Load management can distribute available power between chargers according to site capacity and charging needs. This is particularly useful for shared employee parking, customer bays and fleet charging. We assess existing electrical demand, the proposed number of chargers and how vehicles are expected to use them before recommending a suitable approach.
Every business EV charger installation begins with understanding the site. We review parking areas, property layout, charger locations, cable routes and the existing electrical infrastructure.
We assess whether the current electrical supply is suitable for the proposed charging installation. Where necessary, we identify additional electrical work or upgrades that may be required.
Charger locations should be practical for drivers and safe for everyone using the site. We consider parking bays, cable reach, pedestrian routes, vehicle movements and protection from accidental damage.
Safe, tidy cable routes are essential for a professional installation. We plan routes carefully to reduce disruption, protect cabling and achieve a practical finish across the property.
We consider who will use the chargers, including employees, fleet drivers, customers and visitors. This helps shape the right access arrangements, charging setup and location of each unit.
Your initial solution should suit your present business requirements. That could mean a small workplace charging installation, a dedicated fleet solution or several chargers for shared customer and employee parking.
EV adoption is likely to increase among staff, visitors and commercial fleets. When possible, it makes sense to consider future cable routes, electrical capacity and additional parking areas from the outset.
A tethered charger has a fixed charging cable attached to the unit. This can be a convenient choice for regular users, such as employees or fleet drivers, because the cable is ready to use. VoltArc supplies tethered chargers with 5m and 10m cable options, helping accommodate different parking layouts and vehicle positions.
An untethered charger does not have a permanently attached cable, so drivers use their own compatible Type 2 cable. This can offer a neat, flexible option for shared locations with different users. We can advise on charging power, smart functionality, connectivity, user access, load management and the most suitable physical setup for your premises.
The cost of charger hardware varies according to charging power, number of units, smart features, connectivity and whether you choose tethered or untethered equipment.
Installation costs depend on the property, cable run lengths, charger positions, number of charging points and the complexity of the required electrical work.
Some commercial sites may require electrical upgrades before extra charging capacity can be installed. This will depend on the existing infrastructure and proposed charging demand.
Planning for expansion can influence the initial investment. Including suitable provision for future chargers may be more cost-effective than redesigning the installation later.

The best commercial EV charger depends on who will use it, how long vehicles are parked, available electrical capacity and whether you need employee, visitor or fleet charging. Tethered chargers are convenient for regular users, while untethered chargers can suit shared locations. VoltArc can recommend suitable smart, load-managed EV charging equipment following a site assessment.
The right number of workplace EV chargers depends on your parking spaces, number of EV-driving employees, visitor demand, fleet vehicles, dwell times and future growth plans. Many businesses begin with a smaller installation and allow for additional chargers later through planned cable routes, capacity and load management.
Commercial EV charger installation costs vary according to the number and power of chargers, cable run lengths, charger locations, groundworks, electrical capacity and any required upgrades. Smart features and provision for future expansion can also affect costs. VoltArc provides a site-specific quotation after assessing your premises and requirements.
Yes. EV chargers can be installed in employee car parks, subject to a suitable electrical supply, safe cable routing and practical charger positioning. VoltArc assesses parking bays, vehicle movements, pedestrian access, cable reach and protection measures to create a safe workplace EV charging installation.
Fleet charging should be designed around vehicle numbers, battery sizes, operating schedules, overnight parking periods and the time vehicles need to be ready. Smart charging and load management can help distribute available power across several vehicles. The most suitable charging power and layout will depend on your fleet's daily operational requirements.
Not always. VoltArc reviews your existing electrical infrastructure, site demand and proposed charger capacity during the assessment. Some sites can use load management to help avoid unnecessary upgrades, while others may require additional electrical work or a supply upgrade to safely support multiple commercial EV chargers.
Three-phase electricity is not essential for every business EV charger installation, particularly for smaller workplace charging schemes. However, it can be beneficial where faster charging, multiple chargers or fleet charging is required. We assess your existing supply and charging requirements before recommending the most appropriate solution.
Yes, businesses can choose to provide charging free of charge or use compatible smart charging systems that support user access and payment arrangements. The most suitable approach depends on whether chargers are intended for employees, customers, visitors or fleet drivers, as well as your chosen charger platform and operating policy.
