Electric Vehicle Charging

Electric Vehicles are driving real change in the energy market. Whether that’s company fleets, employee cars, or customers arriving on site, EV charging is becoming something businesses need to think about rather than put off.

That doesn’t mean every site needs chargers immediately, or that it’s always straightforward. Like most things in energy, the detail matters.

At CUB, we help businesses understand whether EV charging makes sense for them, what it might look like in practice, and how it fits into the bigger picture of how they use and pay for electricity.

“Helpful, professional and personable - our clients tell us these words best describe CUB. and sets us apart from the competition and why we measure the length of our relationships with customers in decades.”

A stepping stone towards Net Zero

For many organisations, installing EV chargers is one of the first visible steps towards Net Zero. It’s tangible, easy to understand, and useful.

But it’s also not just about sustainability.

EV charging can:

Support fleet electrification plans
Improve employee benefits
Enhance customer experience
Open the door to smarter energy management

The key is making sure it’s done properly and doesn’t create problems elsewhere on site, particularly around capacity, costs, and future flexibility.

Generating revenue from EV charging

One of the biggest misconceptions is that EV charging is always a cost.

In reality, there are a few different ways chargers can work financially, depending on how they’re used and who they’re for.

1. Charging for use
The cost of charging an EV varies significantly depending on location, charger type, and how electricity is procured. Where appropriate, it’s possible to set charge rates that are competitive for users while still recovering costs or generating a margin.

2. Increasing dwell time and footfall
Making chargers available to customers or visitors can encourage people to stay longer on site. For some businesses, that additional dwell time has a clear commercial benefit.

3. Reducing energy costs elsewhere
This is where EV charging starts to link into wider energy strategy. Through CUB’s Reduction Rewards scheme, some customers are able to use their EV chargers more flexibly – reducing charging at certain times in return for lower overall energy costs or additional revenue.

This isn’t about complex hardware or automated control systems. In many cases it’s manual, simple, and driven by clear instructions.

Is EV charging right for your site?

Not every business needs EV chargers today. Some will need them soon. Others will need them eventually.

If you want an honest view on:

what’s realistic for your site
what’s worth doing now
and what can sensibly wait

we’re happy to talk it through.
