Read MoreElectrAssure are pioneering EV Charging Solutions for the UK’s Retail Parks. As the electric vehicle (EV) shift accelerates across the UK, retail parks, shopping centres, and retail business parks are at the forefront of a EV investment. ElectrAssure is leading the way by offering state-of-the-art EV charging solutions tailored to the unique needs of the retail industry. We help every step of the way, from initial survey to design all the way through to EV charger installation.
The UK loves an electric vehicle. EV’s rising popularity over the last few years has resulted in a significant gap. Our analysis reveals that the majority of retail locations lack the necessary EV charging infrastructure to cater to this growing demand. Currently, the average retail park in the UK offers only four charge points. This is far below what’s needed to serve the EV-driving public efficiently.
ElectrAssure’s mission is to help bridge this gap by ensuring retail spaces are not only equipped to meet today’s demands but are also future-proofed for growth and ever-changing consumer demands. By 2030, EVs are expected to make up one-third of all road vehicles. Retail EV charging infrastructure is needed now more than ever.
To keep up with this growing demand, ElectrAssure recommends (as a good rule of thumb) that one in ten parking spaces at retail sites should be equipped with EV chargers (7kWh or 22kWh). This aligns perfectly with the average customer dwell time of up to two hours, enhancing the shopping experience while ensuring efficient use of charging time.
60kw-180kw – Dual lead (will split the 120kw between both leads if both in use, or full 120kw if 1 in use)
Single Lead Charger – 24kw
