An interesting article in the Estates Gazette written by Bruce Galliford of RAW Charging highlights that property asset owners should be considering how to make a return on EV charging infrastructure.
We already see charging points at most supermarkets but demand will increase in retail parks, office parks, hotels and so on. Consumers may want to charge up their vehicles whilst at work or shopping. Bruce points out that 35% of drivers in the UK will not be able to charge their cars at home since their accommodation will not support this, for instance, those living in an apartment.
Landlords should look at their property portfolios now to identify an EV charging strategy. There will be an increasing demand for EV charging points and getting the right strategy in place will, in the long term keep customers happy and enhance the value of a site.
