Build It And They Will Come
There has, quite literally, never been a better time to install EV charging at your business or organization. In addition to local rebates, and tax credits, there are several additional tangible benefits your organization will reap by adding EV charging.
Offering EV Charging Attracts New Customers
In today’s highly competitive landscape, business owners must think of creative ways to attract and keep customers. Transforming a parking lot into an EV charging destination is one of the most effective ways to achieve that.
​
Adding EV stations delivers extra value for both new and returning customers by allowing them to charge their cars while visiting a business. They also encourage customers to stay longer and spend more.
​
Since EV charging stations are listed on EV charging apps, businesses with EV charging are more likely to attract new customers looking for convenient opportunity charging.
Access to EV Charging Increases Customer Loyalty
Consumers are engaging with sustainable businesses in ways that they previously ignored.
​
According to a survey from McKinsey & Co., 66% of all respondents and 75% of millennial respondents say that they consider sustainability when they make a purchase. Customers now align themselves with brands that are compatible with their values and priorities.
​
An independent study commissioned by SmartEnergy reveals that consumers patronize brands with a commitment to environmental sustainability. The study found that 4 out of 5 people describe themselves as “likely to choose a brand with a positive approach to environmental sustainability” with 90% of respondents stating that “it is vital that society becomes more energy-conscious.”​
A Commitment to Sustainable Solutions Attracts Top Talent
These days, organizations need to find new ways to entice employees back to the office and enhance the 'at work' experience.
​
Sustainability has never mattered more in the battle for talent—with 51% of employees stating they will no longer work for a company that doesn’t have strong social or environmental commitments. (Studies show that 91% of employers received positive feedback from employees for installing workplace charging.)
​
As the sales of electric vehicles continue to rise, EV chargers are becoming a must-have amenity for the modern workplace.​ Providing workplace charging is inexpensive compared to most other employee benefits, costing as little as $1.50/day for Level 2 charging.
