We are a specialist Electric Vehicle Charging Station Contractor, providing a turnkey solution for new or existing electric vehicle cable installation infrastructure, including all the required civil works, including charging stations.
We can expand the high voltage electric vehicle infrastructure to cater for the supply of electric vehicle charging units.
As an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Contractor, UK Power Connections can install EV cables and rapid chargers, superchargers, commercial workplace charging stations, supermarkets, petrol stations and leisure facilities, and provide all cabling solutions for offices, flats, commercial voltage charging units in shopping centres, pubs and restaurants, shopping centres, residential developments and car parks.
Why is it important to install an electric vehicle charging station in all commercial premises with car parks? We know that 89% of the UK population would be more likely to switch to an electric vehicle if they had access to an electric vehicle charger at home or work. So with 48 million UK adults (89%) considering switching to an electric car if a charging point was available, it’s vital that landowners and land managers install EV cabling now to prepare for the future.
Statistics show that 67% of current EV owners would not buy an EV if they did not have access to overnight charging. These statistics show the market demand and the growing need for cabling solutions, not only for new developments but for existing commercial properties as well.
Reliable and experienced cable and connectivity suppliers such as UK Power Connection are a key part of the growing EV market.
There are different types of installation depending on the location of the premises and the speed of loading required. For example, charging is done on routes to motorway services, hotels, car parks, shopping centres, petrol stations etc. Typically either a rapid destination point (7-22 kWh) or a fast/rapid charge (22-100 kWh).
EV rapid destination charging points are highly visible and are often located in public places, with rapid/rapid charging points being perhaps the highest growth and investment sector today. These EV charging points are important mid-route charging facilities and are also target areas for designated EV cabling installation and pre-work for charging installations (where applicable). Rapid destination EV charging points are an area of specialisation and the UK Power Connect team expects to continue to be an important part of our EV charging cabling installation programme and infrastructure. At the same time, we note that EV charging is currently under-invested in despite being the cheapest option for charging and cabling solutions, and could be the area of greatest growth in the future as UK drivers switch to electric vehicles.
