Commercial EV Charging in Edinburgh & East Lothian

Commercial EV charging should fit the way your business operates. Renew-Able Solutions designs and installs charge points for workplaces, fleets, hotels and commercial premises across Edinburgh, East Lothian and wider Scotland.

Whether you need staff charging or a phased rollout across your car park, we start with your vehicles, parking times and available power. We then define the equipment, access controls and installation work in a clear site-specific proposal.

Request a Commercial Survey

EV charging built around your business

Different sites need different charging plans. For example, an office may prioritise staff access during the working day, while a fleet depot needs vehicles ready for their next shift.

Workplaces: staff and visitor bays, fair access and room to expand.
Fleets and depots: charging matched to vehicle schedules, daily mileage and return-to-base times.
Hotels and destinations: convenient guest charging with clear access and payment arrangements.
Landlords and managed sites: user permissions, usage records and responsibility for ongoing support.

Our commercial EV charging survey helps turn those needs into a practical installation plan.

Control access, charging costs and site demand

Decide who can charge, when they can use a bay and how you will recover electricity costs. Depending on the selected system, options can include staff RFID cards, app access, charging schedules and usage reports.

For shared or paid charging, we also discuss software subscriptions, payment fees, connectivity and who manages the account. These costs belong in the proposal alongside the hardware.

Dynamic load management can share available power between chargers as site demand changes. However, it cannot create extra grid capacity. We assess your supply before recommending charger numbers or power levels. Read Energy Saving Trust’s guide to load management for more detail.

Connect commercial EV charging with solar and storage

Plan commercial EV charging alongside your wider energy use. Where suitable, commercial solar PV and commercial battery storage can form part of the same site strategy.

First, we compare charging times with building demand and available solar generation. We then assess compatible controls and equipment. Savings depend on your usage, tariffs and system design, so we explain the assumptions behind any proposal.

Our Partners

Our Expertise

Our EV charging service covers site assessment, electrical design, product selection, DNO notification where required, installation, testing, commissioning, app setup and customer handover. We assess the property’s available supply, earthing arrangement, consumer unit, cable route, parking position, solar PV and load-management requirements before confirming the right charger and installation scope.

Plan your commercial EV charging installation

A useful proposal starts with how your site works. Tell us how many vehicles need charging, how long they park and whether drivers are staff, guests or the public. We then match the charging system to that demand.

Choose charging speed around parking time

AC charging can suit vehicles that stay for several hours. In contrast, short turnaround times may call for a separate DC charging assessment. Higher power needs suitable vehicles, equipment and electrical capacity; we confirm feasibility before including it in a quotation.

Check the complete installed cost

Your budget should cover chargers, electrical protection, cabling, groundworks and any supply upgrades. In addition, allow for signage, connectivity, software, payment services and ongoing maintenance where relevant.

For a wider view of your premises, start with our commercial energy assessment. Or request a commercial EV charging survey with your site postcode and planned number of bays.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alan and the team installed and connected our ground mounted PV system and battery. Having the house run off solar is very satisfying and I would recommend it to anyone, as well as Renew-Able Solutions for the instal. Alan's support post installation has been much appreciated as well

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were looking for batteries to complement our pv panels since on sunny days we never used all the electricity generated.  We are also on off peak for charging our car.  Alan was superb.
He explained it all clearly, answered all questions knowledgeably and was very comfortable to deal with. The job was done on time, with no fuss and, very importantly, we felt very comfortable having them in the house. Delighted at the battery performance. It not only worked to store solar but we could choose to charge on very low overnight rates to use in daytime.  Our electricity bill literally halved from March (pre install) to April (2023). Professional, courteous and very skilled. Subsequently we decided to augment the system with a second battery and again they were flawless in advice, integrating it into the system and commissioning.  Now almost two years on from initial installation it is all still working perfectly.  What more could you want?

Commercial EV charging: your questions answered

How many commercial EV charging points do we need?

Start with the number of vehicles, daily mileage and time available to charge. A workplace and a fleet depot may need very different layouts. We also assess spare electrical capacity and future demand. This helps us propose the right mix of bays, charger power and load management.

Can workplace chargers use our solar PV?

Yes, where the chargers and controls support it. First, we compare solar output with building demand and vehicle parking times. We then assess how charging and any battery storage should work together. The benefit depends on when vehicles connect and how much generation is available.

Can we restrict access or charge users for electricity?

Supported systems can offer staff cards, app access, usage reports and payment features. However, the options vary by charger and software provider. We confirm user permissions, subscriptions, transaction fees and account ownership in the proposal. For public access, we also identify the operator arrangements and applicable requirements before proceeding.

Will our business need an electricity supply upgrade?

Not every site needs an upgrade. We review your existing supply, peak building demand and proposed charging load first. Dynamic load management may help share spare capacity, but it cannot increase the supply limit. Where necessary, we assess the distribution network operator process and explain its effect on cost and timing.

What affects commercial EV charging installation costs?

The main factors include charger numbers, power levels, cable routes, electrical work and groundworks. In addition, consider signage, connectivity, software subscriptions, payment fees and maintenance. We prepare a site-specific quotation so you can compare the complete scope rather than hardware prices alone.

Can you phase installation around business operations?

We discuss access, working hours and any planned shutdowns during the survey. A phased approach may suit sites that need to keep some parking bays open. However, groundworks, equipment lead times and network approvals can affect the programme. We agree the installation sequence and handover arrangements with your team.
