Top companies offer EV charging to employees

Learn best practices for implementing successful workplace charging

EV charging at work is growing fast

ChargePoint has been helping companies offer EV charging to their employees for more than 15 years, and we’re seeing the movement continue to grow.

As of August 2022, our top 15 customers had more than 14,000 places to charge — an impressive testament to their commitment.

ChargePoint customers had saved more than 800,000 metric tons of GHG emissions by July 2022, which is the equivalent of planting 17 million tree seedlings and growing them for 10 years. Across all workplaces, the number of EV drivers increased almost 50% from 2020 to 2021. This continued growth shows that EV charging has become a necessity for some of the world's leading brands. Read on to see how they make charging work, at work.

Employee experience is everything at Citrix

Over the years, interest in e-mobility has grown among Citrix employees.

As a producer of digital workspace technologies, Citrix is laser-focused on creating great employee experiences for its customers and uses frequent employee surveys to revamp its own benefits offerings. That’s how Citrix came to offer EV charging at three locations in the U.S.

In 2020, Citrix formalized its corporate sustainability goals with new targets to reduce total absolute GHG emissions by 30% and emissions per unit of revenue by 50% by 2030. So for Citrix, the benefits of having EV charging infrastructure are even more important. Not only does the amenity keep employees happy, but it is also helping the company make strides toward meeting these overarching sustainability goals.

With campuses spread out across the U.S. in Raleigh, North Carolina, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Santa Clara, California, being able to centrally manage a networked EV charging solution was critical. The ChargePoint Cloud Dashboard allows Citrix to set policies, monitor station usage and track utility costs — all from the company headquarters in California.

We keep an eye on employee interest in EV adoption and also work to understand what other employers are offering and what’s become expected among employees.

United Airlines charges up across office locations

United Airlines is committed to operating sustainably and responsibly.

That's why the company has taken a proactive approach to offering workplace EV charging across multiple office locations. The airline also works with airport partners to offer charging to travelers around the country and the world.

The company relies on ChargePoint metrics to understand not only how the stations are being used but what more they can do to boost their sustainability efforts. United has set a 2035 goal to reduce carbon intensity by 50% compared with 2019 and to reach net zero GHG emissions by 2050 without relying on traditional carbon offsets. Offering EV charging to employees and travelers is helping the company reach those goals.

Our employees love EV charging and they want more... It's good to have the data behind the EV charging to understand what more can we do.
