The UK government is committed to reaching Net Zero by 2050 and within its sights for decarbonisation are public sector buildings, including schools and colleges. 

There are many benefits to being an environmentally conscious place of learning. Institutions with green credentials attract more staff; renewable energy generation can contribute money to the school budget; and it's easier to teach the next generation about greener futures. As a result, EV charging stations are becoming increasingly visible in school car parks, where having charging infrastructure puts you ahead of other institutions and shares a positive message about your commitment to the climate.

Whatever type of electric vehicle is driven by faculty staff, E.ON can support you with the installation of EV infrastructure at your site(s), help you unlock government funding of up to £2,500 per charger, provide 24/7 support, and even spread the cost of your investment over a period that suits you.

Your electric car charging stations will be designed, installed, run, and maintained by us. Authenticated access, payment information, CO2 offset reporting, and on-call maintenance are all provided.  We can provide you with a package that works for you, regardless of the scope of your project or the amount of help you require.

We have lots of experience working with local authorities and academy trusts so our team can work efficiently with yours on the journey to successful install. 

Schools, colleges, and academies can take advantage of schemes managed by the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV), like the Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS), which can save up to 75% on the installation of new charge points on a school's property, including VAT. By providing up to 40 charging stations at a maximum cost of £350 each, your facilities will be eligible for up to £14,000 in funding to set up a charging infrastructure for their employees, parents, students, and guests.

See also the Workplace Charging Scheme specifically for state-funded education institutions, which offers greater savings for state school EV installations.

E.ON offers flexible payment options, so you can forecast in line with your school's budget. The government has also announced a raft of EV incentives, which include a salary sacrifice scheme specifically for those in the education sector.  

Drive towards a more sustainable future with EV charging infrastructure from E.ON. To minimise disruptions during or outside of the school year, we provide flexible installation options, with our install team working out of school hours as well as in the summer holidays.

You will be in good hands with us, a partner that you can rely on with our round-the-clock 24/7 support line as well as ongoing software updates to ensure your equipment is secure and working efficiently.

Want to go even more green? We can work with your school to install solar panels, heat pumps, and more. Generating your own electricity is great for sustainability targets, saves money and could even generate extra cash for your school.
