Workplace charging

Ireland’s businesses are creating a positive work environment that will attract and retain talent through the provision of electric vehicle charge stations for employees.

The future is electric

Part of the Irish Government’s Climate Action Plan surrounds the Zero Emission Vehicles Ireland Work Programme (ZEVI), which is to drive the implementation and deployment of the EV Charger network in Ireland. As a consequence, it is anticipated that drivers in the market for a new car are now more likely to consider an all-electric vehicle (EV) in preference to its fossil fuel counterparts.

By the end of this decade, it is expected that approximately 50% of cars on Irish roads will be electric and as such, and in order to keep pace with demand, there is a necessity for substantial growth in the associated charge infrastructure. To support this growth, many businesses are contemplating installing EV chargers for their employees to utilise during the working day, thus easing the pressure on public charge facilities.

Not only is this a good move in respect of providing additional charge points, but it is also an excellent means of encouraging staff to switch to electric vehicles. Furthermore, businesses running company EVs will benefit from convenient, efficient on-site charging at an affordable price.

Competitive advantage

The competition to attract and retain talented employees is fierce, and whilst salary is usually the first consideration for new recruits, it is equally important for employers to offer a good benefits package. With EV adoption soaring, well beyond the initial forecasts, the percentage of employees wanting to recharge their vehicles while they work will rise concurrently.

Providing a charging station demonstrates the company’s dedication to the welfare of its existing staff, and may well tip the balance for some candidates in terms of choosing their next employer.

Environmentally aware

In recent years, sustainability has become an integral part of the business roadmap across a vast number of sectors. Every organisation has a responsibility for the environment in which it operates and must redefine the business model to achieve sustainability as a strategic objective, as part of its obligation toward social responsibility.

The installation of EV chargers on business premises sends out a clear and visible message to employees, suppliers and customers in respect of the company’s commitment to environmental issues, whilst boosting its brand image and reputation.

Powering ahead

Companies with their own charge stations have the opportunity to generate a new revenue stream by opening up the facility to surrounding businesses and/or local residents. Allowing motorists to buy electricity from the charge points during business hours will help to deliver a swift return on the initial investment and increase public awareness of the site in the community.

Building customer loyalty

For retail outlets the benefits are clear, the provision of EV charging points can enhance customer loyalty, attract new visitors and encourage them to stay longer. Depending on the type of chargers installed, it typically takes at least an hour to sufficiently recharge an EV, whilst the customer shops.

Things to consider

Installing multiple charge points requires significant investment and there are many things to consider; the optimal type of charger for the business, location, number of points required, the infrastructure’s ability to handle the additional energy demand and finally choosing the best engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor to manage the project.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging info

Fast Charging Speed - typically 6-12 hours
A 6 - 12 hour charge time makes 'fast charging' generally suitable for workplace or hotel use, along with fleet operators wishing to charge vehicles overnight.

Rapid Charging Speed - typically 20-60 minutes
Rapid chargers use a Type 2 charging standard. Rapid AC chargers usually charge an EV up to 80% in 20 to 60 minutes.

Ultra Rapid or Hyper Charging Speed - typically 20-25 minutes
Delivering power from 100kW and more, 100kW, 250kW, 270kW or 350kW, a full charge can be accomplished in as little as 20 to 25 minutes with Ultra-rapid / Hyper chargers

*All charge times are dependent on the capacity of the battery and the % energy stored at the start of the charge. In most cases, EVs charge at a faster speed to 80% of capacity, then slow down to protect the batteries.

EV Drivers can avail of the following grants from the SEAI:

– Grant for Private Electric Vehicles and Commercial Electric Vehicles
– Motor Tax for a BEV is typically €120 per annum and typically €170 per annum for a PHEV
– Reduced Toll Fees on Motorways

Businesses can avail of the Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) tax incentive for energy saving equipment. This incentive allows local businesses to deduct the full cost of the equipment from their profits in the year of purchase. As a result, the reduction in tax paid by the organisation in that year is currently 12.5% of the value of capital expenditure.
