EV Charging Installation for Commercial Premises
Commercial EV charging needs more thought than a basic one-off domestic charger installation.
Before installing charge points, it is important to understand how your site is used, how many vehicles need to charge, what electrical capacity is available and whether the system may need to expand in future.
We can support EV charger installations for:
- Offices & business parks
- Warehouses & industrial units
- Retail sites
- Hotels and hospitality venues
- Schools and education settings
The aim is simple: to give your business a practical, safe and well-planned EV charging setup that works now and can adapt as demand for electric vehicles grows.
We’re here to help – call us on 0117 462 0478 or get in touch online today.
Fleet EV Charging and Depot Charging
If your business runs company vehicles, fleet EV charging needs to be planned carefully.
It is not just about installing chargers. You need to think about when vehicles return to site, how quickly they need to charge, whether charging should happen overnight, how many vehicles may be added later and whether your current electrical supply can cope with an increase in demand.
We can help with:
- Fleet charging points
- Depot EV charging
- Staff and company vehicle charging
- Smart charging systems
- Load management & charger locations
- Future expansion planning
- Ongoing maintenance and support
A properly planned installation helps reduce disruption and gives your business a clearer route towards electric vehicle use.
FREE Site Surveys and Electrical Capacity Checks
A commercial EV charger installation should start with a proper review of your site.
We will look at where the chargers could be installed, how vehicles will access them, what cable routes may be needed and whether your existing electrical supply is suitable.
This can include checking:
- Existing electrical capacity
- Distribution boards & cable routes
- Parking layout, charger locations & access considerations
- Single-phase or three-phase supply
- Load management requirements
- Future charger expansion
- Safety and access considerations
This matters because commercial EV charging can place extra demand on your electrical system. Getting the planning right at the start can help avoid unnecessary cost, disruption or limitations later.
Workplace EV Charging for Businesses in the South West UK
Choosing the right EV charger depends on how your site will be used.
A workplace with a few staff vehicles may need a different setup from a business with customer parking, a commercial landlord with tenants or a fleet operator charging multiple vehicles each day.
We can supply and install a range of trusted EV charger brands, including Sync EV, Myenergi Zappi and OHME. Each offers different benefits depending on your budget, electrical supply, charging speed and the features you need.
Sync EV
Sync EV chargers are a good option for businesses looking for a cost-effective charger with useful smart features.
They offer:
- 7kW and 22kW options
- Built-in PME protection
- 4G SIM and Wi-Fi connectivity
This can make Sync EV a suitable choice for businesses that want reliable charging without overcomplicating the setup.
Myenergi Zappi
The Myenergi Zappi is one of the best-known EV chargers on the market and is especially useful where solar power or wider energy management may be part of the picture.
It offers:
- 7kW and 22kW options
- Solar integration

OHME may suit smaller workplace charging setups where smart charging and a clean installation are important.

- Smart charging
- Load balancing
- App-based control
- RFID access
- Staff and visitor charging
- Usage monitoring
- Solar integration

EV Charger Installation for Landlords and Property Managers
EV charging can be a useful upgrade for commercial landlords, managing agents and property owners.
It can help improve the facilities available to tenants, support long-term property value and make commercial sites more attractive to rent as more businesses move towards electric vehicles. We can support EV charger installation for:
- Managed office buildings with parking areas
- Commercial units & multi-let sites
- Residential blocks & tenant parking spaces
- Mixed-use developments
- Visitor parking areas
We can also help with ongoing maintenance, repairs and future EV charger additions, so the system remains easier to manage once installed.
Workplace EV Charging Grants
Some businesses may be eligible for support through workplace EV charging grants.
Grant availability, eligibility and funding levels can change, so it is important to check the current position before committing to an installation.
Where appropriate, we can help you understand what information may be needed, whether your site may qualify and how the grant process fits around the installation.
This can make commercial EV charger installation more affordable, especially for businesses planning multiple charging points. As at June 2026 the government offers grants of £500 per charger for up to 40 chargers.
EV Charger Maintenance and Ongoing Support
Commercial EV chargers should not be installed and forgotten.
Like other electrical assets, they may need inspection, maintenance, software support, fault diagnosis and repairs over time. This is especially important if the chargers are used regularly by staff, customers, tenants or fleet vehicles.
We can provide ongoing support for:
- EV charger maintenance & repairs
- Electrical checks &
- Usage and performance issues
- Additional charger installations
- Maintenance contract support
EV chargers can also be included as part of a wider commercial electrical maintenance contract, helping you keep key electrical systems under review.

Commercial EV Charger Installation FAQs
Tethered or Untethered EV Chargers?
Commercial EV chargers can be tethered or untethered:
A tethered charger has a fixed cable attached, which can make day-to-day use easier. This is often convenient for staff or fleet vehicles using the same charging points regularly.
An untethered charger allows users to plug in their own cable. This can be more flexible where different people, vehicles or tenants may be using the same charger.
We can talk you through both options and recommend what makes most sense for your site.
7kW or 22kW Commercial EV Chargers?
Many EV chargers are available as 7kW or 22kW units.
A 7kW charger is suitable for many workplace and staff charging situations, especially where vehicles are parked for several hours during the day or overnight.
A 22kW charger can charge vehicles more quickly, but it usually depends on the vehicle, the site’s electrical supply and whether three-phase power is available.
Before recommending an EV charger, we will review your site, your electrical capacity and how the chargers will be used. That way, you get a setup that is suitable for your premises rather than a charger chosen on guesswork.
How many EV chargers does my business need?
This depends on how many people will use them, how long vehicles stay on site, whether they are for staff, visitors or fleet vehicles and whether you expect demand to grow. A site survey can help identify a sensible starting point.
Do we need three-phase power for commercial EV chargers?
Not always. Some commercial EV chargers can work with single-phase supply, but larger installations, faster chargers or multiple charging points may need three-phase power or load management. We can assess this during the site review.
Can EV chargers be installed in an existing work car park?
Yes. EV chargers can often be installed in existing car parks, but the installation will need to consider cable routes, charger locations, groundworks, available power and how vehicles will access the spaces.
Can staff and visitors use the same EV chargers?
Yes, but the chargers may need to be set up with suitable access controls. Depending on the system, this could include app access, RFID cards, usage tracking or separate rules for staff and visitors.
Do commercial EV chargers need maintenance?
Yes. Commercial EV chargers should be checked and maintained to help keep them safe, reliable and working properly. Maintenance is especially important where chargers are used regularly by staff, visitors, tenants or fleet vehicles.
Can more EV chargers be added later?
In many cases, yes. It is sensible to think about future expansion during the first installation, so cable routes, electrical capacity and charger locations can be planned with growth in mind.
Do you install commercial EV chargers outside Bristol?
Yes. We install commercial EV chargers across Bristol and the surrounding area including South Gloucestershire and North Somerset.
