Attract EV drivers and give customers another reason to choose your location.
Turn charging time into spending time, creating opportunities for additional retail, hospitality and leisure purchases.
Unlock greater commercial value from existing property, parking facilities and charging partnerships.
Every EV driver choosing a competitor’s location to charge represents a potential customer—and a commercial opportunity—you could be missing.
YOUR FIRST STEP
A clear, independent view of the opportunity—before you commit to an installation.
Understand what could work, the constraints to resolve and the next step worth taking. For owner-managed businesses and larger organisations alike. Get a written assessment and a findings discussion for £900 + VAT, where applicable. No obligation to buy chargers or commission further work.

Clarify your objectives, the opportunity and the decision you need to make.
Examine commercial options, power requirements, costs and practical constraints.
Set out a commercially sound approach with explicit assumptions and next steps.

FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
Running a shop, restaurant, hotel or small fleet? Start with the decision that matters: is EV charging worth taking further at your site?
The assessment covers one qualifying site. The starting point is your parking, likely users and business objectives—not the size of your company. Tell us about your site and we will confirm whether the assessment is appropriate before agreeing any work.
A written desktop assessment of site suitability, likely charging users, available power information, charging options and operating models, plus a findings discussion. You receive practical next steps and the constraints to resolve before investing. VAT applies where applicable.
Start with your site address, approximate parking spaces and who would use the chargers. Share electricity or landlord information if you have it. We will explain any information gaps and what further checks may be needed.
Tell us about your lease and any landlord discussions. Permission, responsibility for the works and the remaining lease term can affect your options. We can identify these issues in the assessment; landlord consent is not included.
We explore demand, operating models and indicative commercial opportunities. Income depends on usage, tariffs, energy costs and installation requirements. The initial assessment does not guarantee returns or include investment-grade financial modelling.
No. This is a standalone advisory service. The findings may support proceeding, taking a phased approach, seeking more information or deciding not to invest. Any further work has a separately agreed scope and fee.

A PRACTICAL FIRST STEP
EV Feasibility & Readiness Assessment
Our initial desktop assessment combines site readiness with a high-level view of demand and commercial opportunity. It gives you practical findings you can use independently, whether you proceed, phase the project or decide to investigate further.
A concise written assessment setting out the options, indicative commercial opportunities, key constraints, assumptions and recommended next steps, followed by a findings discussion.
Your site address, objectives, parking and access information, likely users and any available electricity or supplier information. We confirm that the site qualifies and agree the scope and timetable before starting.
One qualifying site, assessed remotely using supplied information and desktop research. Excludes a physical site survey, formal grid capacity confirmation, engineering certification, detailed design and investment-grade financial modelling. Specialist work is separately scoped.
Additional sites, deeper technical studies and wider advisory work are individually quoted. There is no obligation to commission further work.

Whether you’re exploring EV charging for a single location or planning a major infrastructure investment, we can help you identify the right commercial approach.
COMMERCIAL OPPORTUNITY
The charger is only one part of the customer experience. Start with what makes your location worth visiting.
Map how a driver arrives, plugs in, finds your facilities and spends their time. Charging should fit the visit: an overnight hotel stay, a meal and a short retail stop have different needs. Consider the likely users and their dwell times before choosing charging equipment.
Parking access, clear signage, available facilities and an understandable charging experience all matter. Consider how your hospitality, retail or leisure offer fits the charging session. Additional spending is an opportunity to test, rather than an automatic consequence of longer dwell time.
Agree what success means for the site. Charging income, utilisation, repeat visits and attributable ancillary spending can tell different parts of the story. Review those measures alongside operating and energy costs before deciding how to expand.
A practical discussion guide. Recommendations for your project depend on its site, objectives and available information.
Discuss your projectPOWER & INVESTMENT
Power availability, connection timing and energy costs can shape the investment as much as the charging equipment.
Bring together the electricity information you already hold: supply arrangements, usage, existing site demands and expansion plans. Identify what is known and what still needs verification. A preliminary desktop review is a starting point, not formal confirmation of capacity.
Assess when vehicles need to charge, how long they stay and how the wider site uses power. Consider whether phased deployment, load management or different configurations could meet objectives. Solar generation or battery storage should be considered on their own operational and commercial merits.
Set out the connection pathway, required specialist input and the decisions that depend on it. Reflect those dependencies in the project plan and investment case so that procurement does not run ahead of the information needed to make it sound.
A practical discussion guide. Recommendations for your project depend on its site, objectives and available information.
Discuss your projectPROCUREMENT & PARTNERSHIPS
A useful comparison brings costs, responsibilities and long-term flexibility into the same view.
Separate equipment, installation, power-related work, software, energy, payment handling and maintenance. Identify exclusions and assumptions. Two offers are easier to compare when they describe the same requirements and service expectations.
Clarify who owns the assets, sets tariffs, receives income and handles customer support. Examine reporting, data access, infrastructure availability and arrangements if performance falls short. Ask how the relationship would work when the site or portfolio changes.
Evaluate partners against the business outcome you want, as well as the proposed equipment. Document outstanding questions and secure appropriate technical and legal input before making commitments. A clear procurement process makes trade-offs visible.
