Charging equipment for EVs is no longer an afterthought for businesses. 

In fact, industry experts suggest that EV needs are beginning to drive solar uptake and predict that EV-charging requirements could be responsible for around 30,000 new or upsized solar systems in 2023 alone. 

For businesses looking for a reliable contractor to install EV charging equipment, solar businesses are the natural choice. They offer renewable-energy expertise, deep technical knowledge, and the ability to include EV chargers as part of an integrated solar and storage system installation.

EV market snapshot 

  • In June 2023 the share of EVs in the new car market hit a record 8.8 per cent.
  • More than 30 new EV models from a broad range of popular brands are scheduled to hit Australian dealerships within the next year.

“When you assist small businesses to swap out polluting energy sources and machines for renewable-powered electric versions, you permanently lower the cost base of a business. It embeds thousands of dollars’ worth of annual savings into the annual operations of small businesses, savings that accrue over the long term.”

– Saul Griffiths, Founder, Rewiring Australia

Top 5 reasons businesses are installing EV chargers

  1. Attracting visitors – EV drivers choose where they go based on the availability of charging stations.

  3. ESG requirements – supporting a brand’s sustainability values and public perception.
  4. Talent attraction and retention – staff who drive EVs won’t, in the future, want to work where they can’t plug in!
