Paradigm Electrical Solutions provide commercial premises with fast, high quality EV chargers across Bicester. Business owners across Bicester who provide EV chargers for either employee or local visitor use are being rewarded with higher footfall, longer staying, higher spending visitors and a positive brand image. Allowing your staff to charge their vehicles at their own workplace can also improve staff retention - it’s a huge plus for an EV owner.
Bicester EV ownership
Within Oxfordshire, the district of Cherwell (which encompasses Bicester) had the highest number of licensed plug-in cars among the districts. The figure there equated to about 4.2% of the population aged 17+ years in that district. Based on previous data, it’s suggested that by 2027 there could be over 44,000 EVs on the road in Oxfordshire alone! With EV ownership continuing to grow, now is the time to consider installing EV chargers at your business.
Why invest in EV chargers for your business?
Installing commercial EV chargers isn’t just about keeping up with new technology - it’s a strategic investment that benefits your business, your staff, and your customers. As more electric vehicles appear on Bicester’s roads, the demand for reliable charging points is rising rapidly. Businesses that act early are positioning themselves as forward-thinking, sustainable and customer-focused.
Benefits of installing EV charging stations
- Attract new customers - Drivers increasingly plan their stops based on where they can charge. Having chargers on-site means your premises appear on EV charging maps (such as Zap-Map and Google Maps), bringing new visitors directly to your location.
- Increase dwell time and spend - While customers charge, they browse, shop, eat or relax - leading to longer stays and higher spending. Retail parks, gyms, cafés, hotels and offices in Bicester are already seeing the benefits of this trend.
- Enhance your brand image - Showing commitment to sustainability reflects positively on your business. It might just be the thing that sets you apart from fellow competitors.
- Support your team - Providing staff with workplace charging is an attractive perk that supports greener commuting and boosts staff satisfaction and retention - especially among EV owners who value the convenience!
