Time to Take Charge
A fully-funded solution from PoGo Charge could help NHS Estates overcome the barriers to EV charging
The financial pressure on the NHS is well documented. Yet despite this, NHS bosses face the challenge of continuing to deliver the first-class service for which they are globally renowned while at the same time doing so in a more sustainable way. The public health sector, as with the private sector, has been set targets by which time it must meet Net Zero. And the clock is ticking.
One of the elements NHS management has been looking at to reduce their carbon emissions is by introducing Electric Vehicle (EV) charging into their car parks. Most recognise the benefits it will bring, but when cost is a factor, other priorities come into play. There are also understandable practical issues to consider.
Hospital parking is already a hot topic, and giving over valuable real estate to benefit a small but growing number of EV drivers at the expense of non-EV drivers is a difficult ‘sell’. Accommodating both visitors and staff, which may require different types of charging infrastructure and variable pricing structures for the individuals concerned, adds another level of complexity prompting some, in the short term at least, to put the problem into the ‘too difficult’ pile.
Helping to resolve these issues, however, is PoGo Charge. As a charge point operator, the PoGo team handles everything from start to finish through its comprehensive solution. We will work with you on a site survey and find the right location for your chargers (which might include currently under-utilised green or grey-field space). We will also advise on the appropriate technology, for example, to address long-stay/ overnight charging for staff for the length of their shift versus ultra- rapid charging for visitors or outpatients staying less than an hour.
We will install the equipment, manage the connection to the relevant power supply, service it, and maintain it, thanks to our own dedicated team of nationwide service engineers to ensure an uptime of 99% or more. We will also provide the software platform to manage what is installed, and give you real time data on charging times, usage rates, and revenues. All of our work is undertaken to comply with the relevant regulations and safety standards.
Fully-funded model
Most critical of all, the solutions we provide are fully funded, which removes probably the biggest barrier to EV adoption in NHS Estates. It means that all the grants and government funding for the NHS can go where they are needed most. It also means that we can create a model where not only is there no cost to the NHS, but it will actually generate income for each estate which can be re-invested as they see fit.
PoGo Charge is able to do this not only because it has the experience, but also because it has the credibility that comes from being part of a €1.1bn international technology business operating in 80 countries worldwide, and with a business in the UK that was one of the first to install an EV charging station almost 15 years ago. It means we will also be here for many decades to come.
The benefits of bringing EV charging to hospitals and other healthcare facilities are many and varied. It helps improve the experience for patients, visitors and staff who drive electric vehicles, making the facility more accessible and convenient. Installing EV charging at NHS locations also promotes cleaner air quality by reducing harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxide, leading to better respiratory health for patients, visitors, and staff. It creates an additional revenue stream that can be reinvested where it is needed most. And it supports management in delivering on their sustainability ambitions and targets, reducing their carbon footprint, and creating a facility that is also future proofed as the adoption of EVs continues to grow.
