Keepmoat Homes Goes Green with Rolec EV Chargers
The shift towards sustainable transportation is gaining momentum, and businesses across the UK are embracing electric vehicle (EV) technology to reduce their carbon footprint. We are proud to support this transition by providing cutting-edge EV charging solutions tailored to commercial needs.
We are thrilled to announce the successful installation of three high-performance Rolec EV commercial car chargers at Keepmoat Homes. This project not only enhances their fleet management capabilities but also contributes to a greener future by promoting the use of electric vehicles. Keep reading to discover how this installation benefits Keepmoat Homes, the technical aspects of the project, and how businesses can take advantage of government grants to make EV adoption more affordable.
State-of-the-Art 22kW Rolec EV Chargers for Efficient Charging
he newly installed Rolec EV commercial chargers are rated at 22kW, providing fast and efficient charging for Keepmoat Homes’ fleet of electric vehicles. These high-power chargers significantly reduce charging times, allowing fleet vehicles to be powered up quickly and efficiently. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on electric fleets for daily operations, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
These state-of-the-art chargers have been seamlessly integrated into the Monta back-office platform, a powerful EV charging management system that enables businesses to track and monitor usage in real-time. With this smart integration, Keepmoat Homes can:
Monitor charging activity across all vehicles
Manage energy consumption efficiently
Generate reports on usage and costs
Set up payment options for third-party users in the future
This advanced software solution ensures that Keepmoat Homes has full control over their EV infrastructure, allowing them to optimise energy usage and reduce operational costs.
Future-Proofing with Monta Back-Office Integration
One of the standout features of this installation is the integration with Monta, a leading EV charging management platform. By leveraging Monta’s intelligent software, Keepmoat Homes now has a future-proof charging solution that can adapt to evolving business needs.
A key benefit of this integration is the potential introduction of a payment service, which would allow visitors or other users to access the chargers. This opens the door to a wider range of business opportunities, such as monetising EV charging facilities and supporting community EV adoption. Whether for employees, visitors, or even neighbouring businesses, the ability to offer charging as a service provides long-term value and flexibility.
Upgrading Electrical Infrastructure for Optimal Performance
To support the high-power charging stations, we also installed a new three-phase EV consumer unit in the plant room. This upgrade was essential to ensure an optimal power supply, maintain efficiency, and prevent overloading the electrical system.
A robust electrical infrastructure is critical when deploying commercial EV chargers. Without proper planning, businesses may experience power fluctuations or inefficient charging speeds. By installing a dedicated three-phase EV consumer unit, we ensured that Keepmoat Homes’ charging stations operate at peak efficiency while minimising the risk of power issues.
This strategic approach to infrastructure upgrades allows businesses to scale their EV charging capabilities over time, ensuring they are well-prepared for future growth and increased adoption of electric vehicles.
Maximising Cost Savings with the OLEV Commercial Grant
Investing in EV charging infrastructure can seem costly, but with government incentives available, businesses can significantly reduce expenses. As an OLEV-approved contractor, we were able to secure the OLEV commercial grant for Keepmoat Homes, resulting in substantial cost savings.
Through this scheme, Keepmoat Homes saved £350 per charging socket, making the transition to EV charging far more affordable. The OLEV Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to offset the costs of EV charger installations, making sustainable transportation a viable and cost-effective option.
By leveraging available government grants, businesses can:
Reduce the initial investment cost
Improve ROI on EV infrastructure
Encourage employee and fleet adoption of electric vehicles
Support the UK’s transition to a net-zero emissions future
If your business is considering EV adoption, we highly recommend exploring OLEV funding options to maximise savings and accelerate your green transition.
The Benefits of EV Charging for Businesses
As the UK moves towards a zero-emission future, businesses that invest in EV charging infrastructure are positioning themselves as leaders in sustainability. Some of the key benefits of installing commercial EV chargers include:
✅ Reduced Carbon Footprint – Supporting the shift to clean energy by reducing reliance on fossil fuels
✅ Lower Operational Costs – Saving on fuel expenses compared to traditional petrol and diesel vehicles
✅ Employee & Fleet Convenience – Ensuring electric vehicles are always charged and ready for use
✅ Enhanced Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) – Demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility
✅ Attracting & Retaining Talent – Offering EV charging as a workplace perk for employees
✅ Future-Proofing Business Operations – Preparing for upcoming government regulations and sustainability targets
The adoption of EV charging stations is not just a trend – it’s a necessity for forward-thinking businesses that want to remain competitive and compliant with future legislation.
