Empowering Communities: EV Charging for Care Homes
As the EV revolution gains momentum, finding innovative ways to support care homes and their communities has never been more important. At Advanced EV, we recently partnered with a care home to install EV charging points (EVCPs) that go beyond just meeting their immediate needs—they benefit staff, visitors, and the wider community, creating a sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem.
Meeting Care Home Needs with Future-Proof Solutions
The care home faced a multi-faceted challenge:
Staff and Visitor Access: Ensuring easy access to reliable charging for employees and visitors to support their EV transition.
Utilising Car Parking Spaces: Making the most of the existing infrastructure to avoid unnecessary expansion costs.
Community Contribution: Leveraging the care home’s location and parking facilities to address the lack of EV charging infrastructure in the local area.
To meet these needs, we installed a range of chargers catering to different usage scenarios, from daily staff use to fast chargers for short-stay visitors. The chargers are user-friendly, secure, and integrated with our software, enabling easy management and monitoring of usage.
Tailored Tariffs for Maximum Flexibility
To ensure the charging infrastructure met the diverse needs of users, we provided a comprehensive back-office platform allowing for:
Preferential Rates for Staff: Supporting employees in their EV journey with affordable charging options.
Free Charging for Company Vehicles: Enabling seamless fleet operations without additional costs.
Custom Tariffs for Public Use: Allowing local residents to access chargers at competitive rates, generating additional revenue for the care home.
Maintenance and Long-Term Support
Recognizing that reliability is key, we included comprehensive maintenance contracts to ensure the longevity of the chargers and peace of mind for the care home. This includes:
Fast Response Times: Immediate assistance in case of any issues.
Annual Hardware Checks: Regular visits from our engineers to inspect and maintain the chargers.
Additionally, we have partnered with the care home to provide ongoing support and training for their team. From managing the software platform to hardware troubleshooting, we remain their trusted point of contact for every aspect of their EV infrastructure.
A Lasting Partnership
By combining state-of-the-art technology with dedicated support, this care home is now equipped with an efficient, sustainable, and community-focused charging solution. The revenue generated from public use directly benefits the care home, while our maintenance and support ensure their investment remains reliable and effective for years to come.
