Introducing AC charging into the workplace

If you are considering installing AC charging facilities at your workplace, there are a few important points you need to consider. What is the current demand on your power supply? How many will you need?

Being able to offer onsite electric charging can help attract and retain the best employees. It can provide convenience for your workforce by saving them time by charging whilst they’re at work and can enable mileage expenses to be managed more effectively.

What are AC chargers?

AC (alternating current) chargers convert AC power from the grid into DC power that can be stored in an electric vehicle battery. In the UK, AC chargers use the Type 2 charging plug and are the most common found in a workplace setting. They provide a slower form of charging, due to the power conversion, but are better for keeping car batteries in tip top condition.

Common reasons for a company or organisation to install AC chargers include the following:

  • Alignment with environmental goals
  • Access to government grants
  • AC power can be generated from renewable sources
  • Revenue generation from visitors and employees
  • Increased customer loyalty by supporting sustainability
  • Tap into a larger network of chargers
