Why adding EV charging to your commercial property is no longer optional
EV drivers are already choosing where to spend their money based on where they can charge. Here’s what that means for your property and your bottom line.
The UK’s electric vehicle revolution isn’t on the horizon, it’s already here. For commercial property owners across Birmingham and the West Midlands, the question is no longer whether to install EV charging. It’s how quickly you can get it done before your competitors do.
The EV shift is happening faster than most property owners realise
Electric vehicle registrations in the UK have been breaking records year on year. With the government’s 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales now confirmed, the direction of travel is clear and it’s electric. A growing proportion of your tenants, customers, employees, and visitors already drive an EV or will do within the next few years.
How EV charging adds real value to your property
Future-proofing your property against incoming regulation
The regulatory landscape around EV infrastructure is tightening. Building regulations already require new commercial developments above certain thresholds to include EV charge point provision, and it’s widely expected that retrofit requirements for existing commercial stock will follow as the 2035 deadline approaches.
Installing now means you’re ahead of the curve and ahead of the cost premium that comes with last-minute compliance. Properties that are already EV-ready will also be more attractive to prospective occupiers and investors who are increasingly scrutinising sustainability credentials as part of their due diligence.
