Everything you need to know about EV Charging
Your Guide to EV Charging
Getting your charging solution right is key to a successful EV transition, and Northgate makes the whole process simple.
Charging Options - What Do They Even Mean?
WHAT ARE THE BEST EV CHARGING OPTIONS FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
Every solution starts with driver surveys and site assessments, ensuring your charging infrastructure is aligned to how your business operates. Charging points can be installed across workplace and home locations, keeping your fleet powered and ready to go.
Charge cards provide easy access to public charging networks, making driver reimbursement simpler while giving drivers the flexibility to charge on the go. They help you strike the right balance between cost, convenience, and control.
Are you eligible for government grants? We can help you understand which government funding you may be eligible for, to help reduce the upfront costs of your charge point installations and make your EV transition more affordable.
DEPOT INFRASTRUCTURE
Take a forward-thinking, phased approach to depot charging with a “dig once” strategy so the groundwork completed today can support your future business as your EV fleet grows.
Depot charging lets your vehicles charge overnight on premises meaning your drivers arrive to vans that are fully powered and ready for the day. It also reduces reliance on the less convenient (and often more expensive) public charging network, whilst supporting your sustainability goals and brand reputation. Our team can also support you in accessing available infrastructure grants, helping to reduce upfront installation costs.
Home Charging
Home charge point installations enable your drivers to benefit from lower-cost, off-peak electricity by charging vehicles overnight, so they’re ready to go each day. This helps reduce overall running costs, improves driver convenience, and maximises vehicle uptime. Installation typically requires access to a suitable driveway or garage.
Northgate can support with:
✓Identifying which drivers are best suited to home charging
✓Recommending driver reimbursement options
✓Advising on tariffs and optimising energy usage
DO YOU HAVE ESG TARGETS?
Our EV Consultants work with you to build a tailored strategy that reduces carbon emissions whilst maintaining operational performance. As sustainability becomes increasingly important in tendering (particularly for public sector contracts over £5 million), a clear EV strategy can also strengthen your competitive position.
