Investing in EV charging infrastructure has swiftly become a necessity. Healthcare environments need
to provide reliable infrastructure for EVs – from helping to power connected ambulances and other EV vehicles, to offering charging infrastructure for healthcare staff and visitors. Yet, there’s still work to be done. In 2021/22, ERIC returns showed that there were only 2,396 EV charging points out of 460,135 parking spaces in the NHS. Healthcare organisations are missing an opportunity to monetise EV charge points and offer staff perks to attract and retain top talent. EV solutions turbocharged Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust’s journey
towards a greener future at Queen Alexandra Hospital. With a total of 18 chargers – 8 for the public and 10 designated for staff – EV drivers are now experiencing a seamless charging service, and a tiered tariff system has led to the successful promotion of off-site parking. The Trust now possesses real- time capability to track EV utilisation, carbon savings, and energy costs, aiding the creation of a robust business plan for further EV expansion. Significant financial savings have been realised, alongside a considerable reduction in carbon
