Feasibility

Planning Your EV Charging Programme

Developing an electric vehicle chargepoint programme can be daunting, no matter what scale you are looking at. There are many competing products, applications and services to consider, making specification complex for non-experts. Furthermore, every parking site is different in terms of the way it’s used and the availability of power at that site. How do you navigate your way through this?

This is where Joju can help. We undertake full technical feasibility studies to provide robust evaluations of the opportunity for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure at your sites, and help you develop a scheme that is genuinely tailored to your needs.

Poor air quality, and the impact it has on health and the environment, is very much under the public spotlight, both regionally, and nationally, as England works towards meeting emissions targets by 2030. Traffic in our towns and cities is a major contributor to carbon emissions and air pollution. The general public and businesses are being encouraged to switch their cars and vans from diesel and petrol to low emissions and electric vehicles, along with other clean transport measures, but this change requires the support of local authorities to ensure that adequate EV charging infrastructure is in place in all areas.

Having ample town and city centre provision for EV charging facilities helps encourage more drivers to switch to electric vehicles and could be vital for the 40% of households in England with no off-street parking at home. It’s also good for local trade; as the ownership and usage of electric cars increases, electric vehicle drivers are likely to choose to go shopping where charging infrastructure is most prevalent and available.

We break this down into a simple 4 stage process

Once you contact us, we begin with a discussion to understand your long-term EV charging ambitions and immediate requirements. We guide you through the strategic decisions needed to shape a successful scheme.

Number and location of sites for EV charge point deployment
Level of service and percentage of parking spaces to be covered
Charging speed requirements (fast vs rapid chargers)
Funding approach: self-funded or third-party finance
User charging and parking payment structure
Back-office systems for charger management and payments
Alignment with wider transport and sustainability strategies

Understanding these points is essential to developing a tailored solution. Our team will guide you through each consideration.

We undertake a desktop feasibility study to assess estimated costs, usage, revenue, air quality benefits, and suitability for third-party finance.

A key technical consideration is the availability of electrical capacity. Where required, we submit grid connection applications to the local Distribution Network Operator (DNO) on your behalf.

Hardware and charging technology
Back-office provision
Estimated costs, usage, and revenue
Signage, bay marking, and traffic management considerations
Options to retain or replace existing infrastructure
Warranties and maintenance
Estimated air quality benefits

Once DNO responses are received, we assess the potential for private-sector funding on a site-by-site basis.

We review the findings of the feasibility study with you to help determine which sites should progress. Some sites may be deferred for future phases.

At this stage, we also confirm whether a self-funded or third-party financed approach is preferred.

Once sites are confirmed, we carry out full site surveys to refine technical details such as cabling routes and groundworks.

We then present a final proposal outlining agreed designs, confirmed costs, and implementation plans.
