Strategy

Each local authority possesses its unique characteristics and needs. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, there are fundamental aspects that local authorities should take into account when formulating their strategies for local EV charging infrastructure. At WATTTECH, we strongly believe in collaboration, and we offer a consistent strategic framework to our local authority partners to assist them in navigating this often unfamiliar territory.

By working closely with our partners and the communities and customers they serve, we assist local authorities in crafting a tailored strategy that encompasses a diverse range of charge point infrastructure and speeds, ensuring that all needs are met.

Together, we can devise a plan to establish an EV charging network that resonates with your residents – one that is easily accessible, dependable, and future-proof.

It's worth noting that our networks are privately funded, which means they not only come at zero cost to local authorities but also to taxpayers. We look forward to the opportunity to collaborate and create a charging solution that benefits all stakeholders.

Local Authorities

Empowering EV Communities, Homes, and Enterprises

At WATTTECH, we aim to provide adaptable solutions that enable local authorities to make informed decisions about their EV charging infrastructure. Whether it's full ownership or shared investment, we're here to make EV charging accessible and profitable for your community.

Implementation Plan

The complexity of devising an effective implementation plan cannot be overlooked, considering the unique characteristics of each local authority. At WATTTECH, we recognise the importance of specialised skills in crafting the ideal strategy tailored to your specific needs. Our primary objective is to simplify the process of establishing a local EV charging infrastructure, making it accessible and hassle-free.

We understand that you possess invaluable insights into the requirements of your local community. By collaborating closely, we can strategically plan, secure funding, construct, and deploy a customised, always-accessible, and socially inclusive EV charging network that aligns seamlessly with the needs of your community.

Whether your project entails developing new grid infrastructure, devising an optimal placement strategy for charging points, securing funding sources, or conducting comprehensive risk assessments, WATTTECH is committed to providing unwavering support throughout the entire journey.

Funding and Procurement

Navigating the complex landscape of funding models that include both private and public sources can be a significant challenge for local authorities. Identifying the optimal solution from this range of options can be a daunting task indeed. At WATTTECH, we believe that providing a reliable, high quality and comprehensive public EV charging network should not be a financial burden. Our privately-funded, zero-cost model offers a forward-thinking and sustainable solution tailored to the specific needs of local authorities.

We also recognise that some local authorities may wish to explore LEVI funding options. In such cases, our experienced WATTTECH team is on hand to provide expertise in writing successful applications, ensuring a seamless and effective funding process. We will work in collaboration to determine the most appropriate funding approach to meet your local authority's specific needs.

We are committed to simplifying the path to a robust and accessible EV charging network for your community and we aim to please with our support to tailor-made needs.

Site Selection

At WATTTECH, our charging station siting process involves a careful evaluation of a number of factors to ensure optimal placement and accessibility for electric vehicle (EV) users. Here's an overview of our approach:

Geographic Information System (GIS) Analysis: We use advanced GIS data and mapping tools to evaluate potential sites. This analysis helps us identify areas with high EV adoption rates, future demand projections and strategic positioning.

Vehicle Accessibility: We prioritise vehicle accessibility, focusing on areas that are easily accessible by road networks. This ensures that EV users can conveniently access charging stations without encountering traffic barriers.

Proximity to infrastructure: We consider the proximity of essential infrastructure, such as power connections and utilities. This ensures that our charging stations can be efficiently integrated into the existing infrastructure network, minimising installation complexity.

Community convenience: Our goal is to make EV charging convenient for all users. We therefore assess how accessible the site is to a wide range of users, including residents, commuters and visitors.

Commercial viability: We assess the commercial viability of potential sites, taking into account factors such as footfall, nearby businesses and local economic activity. This helps to ensure that the charging stations can generate sustainable revenue.

Social inclusion: We are committed to promoting social inclusion. We evaluate sites to ensure they cater for a diverse demographic and consider the needs of all members of the community.

Our comprehensive approach to site selection aims to create a network of charging stations that are strategically located, accessible and economically viable. By analysing these key factors, we can provide a seamless charging experience for EV users and contribute to the growth of sustainable transport solutions.
