Support the transition to electric and provide the convenience of workplace EV charging for your employees and customers.
Reduce your carbon footprint, meet employee expectations and drive your workplace into the future by offering the convenience of electric vehicle charging for your staff and customers.
Whether you’re looking to attract and retain your
workforce, achieve CSR and sustainability goals or build an additional
revenue stream, there’s never been a better time to go green and install
workplace EV charging.
By investing in workplace EV charging, you are future-proofing your business against the growing external pressures for implementing these renewable solutions. With the UK government committed to stopping the sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, and new hybrid cars by 2035, the increase in popularity and desire for workplace EV charging is only set to grow.
With ORKA’s fully customisable workplace charging solution, you are in complete control of who can access and at what cost.
You have the ability to create groups, and set specific access and costs to each. You could choose to offer complimentary electric car charging for everyone, or you can choose to create a brand new revenue stream for your business by charging customers to use your workplace charging solution.
You could even reserve charge points for your team during
working hours, and open them to the public outwith this to generate
income.
Not only could complimentary EV charging for your workforce improve staff retention, it could also help you to attract the best talent in your industry by positioning you as a desirable place to work. With so many people currently or planning to own electric vehicles, workplace charging is highly a convenient added bonus that staff will appreciate.
Our easy-to-use chargepoint management system lets you stay in control - simply login and view in real-time activity, monitoring, usage and other analytics, at any time.
You’re in control of the pricing at all times, whether you
wish to offer complimentary car charging to employees and a nominal fee
to external visitors or charge a small cost to all. You’ll also have
flexibility to make changes at any time, and can easily access usage and
expenses in real-time.
Reduce the costs associated with fleet charge points through a government grant.
Your UK-based business could be eligible for grant funding from the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV).

Electric vehicle charge point (EVCP) management software allows you to control the use of your chargers. At ORKA, our platforms utilise Fuuse software, which helps us offer a flexible platform, built to open standards and OCPP compliant hardware. With these controls, you can decide whether to keep your charge points private for employees, or be discoverable to the public. With multi-tariff options available, you can set different rates for various groups such as employees and for public use, generating additional revenue. In return, your premises would be discoverable to EV drivers, increasing your brand awareness.
