Hi, some friends of ours have just invested in their first EV They're not able to easily get a charger installed at home, so charging at their respective workplaces would be ideal.

They're going to speak to their respective employers to ask them to get one installed. I just wondered if anyone knew of a handy list of reasons / business case that could help them persuade their employers? Other than 'happier employees', what would be in it for the building / car park owners?

Both work at school sites, so I assume the car parks wouldn't be public access.

Happy Employees?
Contribute to company's sustainability policy?
As a school - educate pupils about EVs, charging, sustainability?

Worth passing details of the workplace charging scheme onto the employers:

"Workplace Charging Scheme guidance for applicants, installers and manufacturers - GOV.UK" Workplace Charging Scheme guidance for applicants, installers and manufacturers

Certainly pre-Covid, the car chargers at my employer added to the distances that employees were willing to travel to work (35-50 miles away).

Sure, still costs time to drive a big commute, but drastically reduced commuting costs is an easy incentive, and easy to measure in the pocket.
