Commercial EV Charging for Northampton Businesses
Northampton is the UK's logistics heartland. Situated at the junction of the M1 and A45, equidistant between London and Birmingham, it sits at the very centre of the Golden Triangle — the zone from which 90% of England's population can be reached in under 4.5 hours. As these businesses electrify their fleets and respond to employee expectations, on-site EV charging infrastructure has become a commercial necessity.
The transition to electric vehicles is accelerating faster than most Northampton businesses anticipated. With new petrol and diesel car sales banned from 2035 and EV registrations growing year on year, businesses need charging infrastructure now — for staff, fleets, customers, and visitors who increasingly expect to charge at every destination.
Commercial EV charger installation in Northampton requires careful assessment of electrical supply capacity, strategic positioning for maximum usage, intelligent load management to avoid costly supply upgrades, and the right mix of charger speeds for your specific use case. Whether you need overnight fleet charging, daytime workplace top-up, or rapid destination charging, the approach is different.
The Workplace Charging Scheme provides up to £500 per socket (maximum £20,000 per applicant) and we handle the entire application process. Combined with battery storage in Northampton and commercial solar, on-site EV charging can reduce per-mile costs to near zero.
We install all major charger brands in Northampton including Easee, Zappi, Hypervolt, ABB, and Kempower, with cloud-based management giving you full visibility and control over your charging network.

Attract & Retain Staff
Workplace EV charging is increasingly expected by staff in Northampton. Offering free or subsidised charging provides a tangible employee benefit that costs far less than salary increases and demonstrates your sustainability commitment.
Reduce Fleet Costs
Electric vehicles cost 3-5p per mile vs 15-20p for petrol or diesel. Charging on-site from your solar panels cuts this further. Transitioning your Northampton fleet to electric with on-site charging delivers significant operational savings.
Generate Revenue
Turn your Northampton car park into a revenue stream with payment-enabled chargers. Retail, hospitality, and leisure businesses attract EV-driving customers who spend more while charging — a growing competitive advantage.
Workplace Charging Scheme
Access up to £500 per socket through the government Workplace Charging Scheme, with a maximum of 40 sockets per applicant. This £20,000 grant significantly reduces your upfront investment for Northampton installations.
Prepare for 2035
The UK ban on new petrol and diesel car sales takes effect in 2035. Northampton businesses that install charging infrastructure now avoid the rush and higher installation costs as demand surges over the coming decade.
Smart Load Management
Intelligent charge management distributes available electrical capacity across all chargers, prioritising vehicles by departure time. This maximises the chargers you can install in Northampton without costly supply upgrades.

Absolutely. Combining commercial solar panels with EV charging is one of the most cost-effective strategies for Northampton businesses. Solar-powered EV charging reduces the per-mile cost to near zero. Adding battery storage means solar energy is available for overnight fleet charging even when the sun is not shining.
We recommend one charger for every 3-5 EVs in your current fleet, with capacity for growth. For staff parking, 10-20% coverage is a good starting point, increasing as EV adoption grows. Our free survey provides specific recommendations based on your Northampton site layout, electrical supply, and usage patterns.
Not always. Smart load management systems can distribute available electrical capacity across multiple chargers, often avoiding expensive supply upgrades.
