Installing electric car charging stations at work and how they can improve your business
Installing electric car charging stations at work now will ensure that you are keeping up with your competitors and future-proofing your business. Many businesses are beginning to consider how the government’s commitment to end new petrol and diesel cars and van sales will impact their workplace. Whether you’re moving towards an electric fleet, or your staff are moving to electric vehicles for commuting, it offers a great incentive to make the switch and allows easier travel in a sustainable way. There are also financial benefits of electric vehicles, as several exemptions and benefits are available to businesses with electric car fleets.
At Perfect Sense Energy we practice what we preach, we have 6 electric cars in our fleet and two EV charging points installed at our current site.
