Why employee charging makes sense from every angle
With the escalating climate crisis, many companies have set corporate goals that place environmental responsibility at the core of their mission. In some industries, businesses must actually meet government mandates to reduce GHG emissions by certain timeframes. In addition, employees today are putting pressure on sustainability managers to step up efforts to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions.
Providing EV charging to employees is one way to make a solid environmental impact and take steps toward meeting your company’s sustainability goals. Driving electric cuts a commuter's carbon footprint in half or more.
We decided to network the stations across all locations so we could centrally manage everything. The ChargePoint Cloud Dashboard made that a reality.
EV charging at work helps sustainability managers lead the way toward meeting climate goals:
Reduce emissions from employee commutes.
Encourage more employees to drive electric.
Track progress toward meeting sustainability goals.
Provide automated reports to key stakeholders.
83% of C-suite leaders and investment professionals say they expect environmental, social and governance (ESG) programs to contribute more shareholder value in five years than today.
We have defined EV charging as part of our sustainability goals.
We have conducted an employee EV survey.
We have started researching EV charging providers.
We don’t know where to start.
The ChargePoint Cloud Dashboard allows you to track metrics on GHG emissions and utility costs.
In June 2022, BloombergNEF predicted that global passenger EV sales will increase from 10.6 million in 2022 to 20.5 million in 2025 — that’s more than 93%.
Facilities managers: The planning phase is now for understanding how to implement EV charging infrastructure in a cost-effective way that meets your business goals.
Charging at work needs to be conveniently located so that employees and visitors alike can easily plug in and get a charge while doing other things on-site.
To prepare for the growing number of EV drivers, your EV charging infrastructure must be flexible and scalable so that you can add more stations as needed. Networked charging will allow you to share power among multiple stations without increasing your initial electrical capacity to help keep costs down.
A comprehensive solution that includes software, hardware and services will give facilities managers:
Proactive station management for optimal station uptime
Flexibility to set pricing and access controls for different driver groups
Reliable support for drivers, freeing up your time for more strategic tasks
Reporting capabilities to track GHG emissions, energy use and utility costs
It’s amazing to be able to just log in, put in the metrics I want to pull and see live data on our portfolio of stations.

You can have complete control over your charging program and access rich insights with unified EV charging management software — all part of the ChargePoint network.
You know that your employees want to drive electric. And you know that offering EV charging will help your company meet its sustainability goals. But the real question is how to pay for EV charging infrastructure, installation and the electrical capacity to run it?
Fortunately, lots of funds are available from federal, state and local agencies, as well as utility companies in every region throughout North America. Many funding programs are focused on workplace charging, and the total amount of public policy incentives potentially available to workplaces exceeds $2 billion in North America.
Subscription pricing that offers EV charging software, hardware, installation and expert service in one flexible bundle can make adding this modern employee benefit a budget-friendly proposition. With a subscription service, you get help with hardware setup and software configuration, plus ongoing monitoring and on-site maintenance. You’ll save time and money with minimal overhead and a predictable operational expense.
