Benefits of Retail EV Charging Stations

Why deploy your EV charging infrastructure

Since early 2020, supermarkets have added over 1000 EV charging statins to their sites. This saw an increase in the number of visitors to their sites to use the chargers, but made the retail EV charging stations even more necessary, due to the number of benefit they can bring to your business. 

• Increase footfall

With EV sales soaring throughout the UK, more people are looking to charge their vehicles while away from their home. Hosting an electric vehicle charger at your business will help increase traffic and footfall at your property while generating significant profit for your business. 

• Generate roi

Once a charger is installed, you’re able to monetise and start getting a return on your EV investment. With electricity costing, on average, 17p per kWh, you’re able to set a consumer charge higher than this limit with an EV charging platform, such as Fuuse, helping your retail EV charging station to start generating a profit as soon as it’s installed.

• create loyal customers

If your retail EV charging infrastructure is reliable, has simple infrastructure and an easy to use accompanying app, you’ll gain a competitive edge against other EV competitors in your area. Not only will customers come back to your site to use your charging station, but they’re also likely to visit your establishment while they’re waiting for their vehicle to charge.

• Show off your sustainability commitment

Did you know that Millennials and Gen Xers are 4x more likely to support a brand that tells their customers about their sustainability actions? While other businesses across the UK are trying to tell their customers how they’re minimise their carbon footprint, retail EV charging stations give you the opportunity to show them you’re committed to change instead.
