Mitie launches bolt-on EV charge point service

By / 3 years ago / UK News / No Comments

Mitie has introduced four bolt-on decarbonisation solutions to help organisations reach net zero targets for business premises, including EV charge point infrastructure installations.

The Charge package uses Mitie’s expertise in installing EV charge points for customers

The Plan Zero BoltON packages focus on remote building management (Pulse), solar power (Shine), lighting optimisation (Glow) and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure (Charge). They have been designed to be easily scaled and rolled out as single, multiple or combined modules to suit different types of buildings.

The Charge package uses Mitie’s expertise in installing EV charge points for customers such as Royal London – the business will design, install, and maintain electric vehicle chargers at workplaces to ensure that businesses have the infrastructure in place to support their transition to an electric fleet.

And to help companies, in particular SMEs, implement the solutions needed to kickstart the journey to net zero, Mitie will cover the initial costs of equipment, such as solar panels or EV charge points, with customers only charged a monthly subscription fee once the installation has been completed.

Pradyumna Pandit, managing director, sustainability and energy services at Mitie, said: “While sustainability is a priority for many organisations in the UK, financial barriers, lack of expertise and long payback times continue to slow down their decarbonisation progress. With our Plan Zero BoltON packages, we’re using our engineering as well as fleet and energy management expertise to develop solutions that help organisations kickstart their journey to net zero.”

The BoltON modules are available to existing customers only and build on Mitie’s Plan Zero commitment to use its fleet, energy, and sustainability expertise to support Britain’s decarbonisation by helping public and private sector organisations achieve their own net zero targets.

To share its EV expertise, the outsourcing and energy services company, which is believed to have the largest electric fleet in the UK, launched its EV Fleet Transition Service in July 2020.

In addition to this, Mitie has launched a white paper on EV charge point infrastructure, outlining the key factors that businesses should consider for installations.
