We’re pleased to announce the installation of a new electric vehicle charging point at our Quadrant Precision Engineering workshop. This investment demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and supporting our team’s transition to electric vehicles.
As more members of our team make the switch to electric vehicles, workplace charging has become an increasingly important amenity. Our new charging facility removes range anxiety, eliminates the need for separate charging stops during the working day, and supports our employees’ personal sustainability goals.
We’ve installed a Solax Generation 2 smart EV charger with the following capabilities:
The 22kW capability future-proofs our infrastructure as vehicle charging technology continues to evolve.
This EV charging installation complements our ongoing sustainability initiatives:
The charging facility will support emission-free commuting for our team members. If just three employees charge regularly at the workshop, we’ll facilitate approximately 15,000 zero-emission miles annually – eliminating roughly 2 tonnes of CO₂ emissions compared to equivalent petrol or diesel vehicles.
Our smart charging system can be programmed to prioritise charging during periods of high renewable energy generation on the National Grid, further reducing carbon impact.
Many of our clients in aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, and other sectors are working towards ambitious net-zero targets. As part of their supply chains, our environmental performance contributes to their scope 3 emissions. Investments like EV charging infrastructure demonstrate that we’re actively supporting their decarbonisation objectives.
Workplace EV charging provides tangible benefits for our team:
These amenities also support our recruitment and retention efforts in a competitive market for skilled engineering talent. Increasingly, workplace sustainability credentials influence career decisions, particularly among younger professionals.
The EV charging installation represents one step in our ongoing commitment to sustainable manufacturing. We’re exploring additional opportunities including solar generation integration, advanced energy management systems, and continued process optimisation to reduce our environmental footprint.
As the UK manufacturing sector continues its transition towards net-zero, we’re committed to playing our part whilst maintaining the precision engineering excellence our clients expect.
