EV Charging for Retail

Turn your car park into a reason to choose your destination.

For retail destinations, EV charging is a competitive advantage that drives footfall, increases dwell time and enhances the customer experience.

CommunitEV works with retail parks, shopping centres, mixed-use developments, supermarkets and outlet villages to deliver charging infrastructure that supports commercial objectives whilst meeting the needs of an increasingly electric customer base.

Our solutions are designed around shopper dwell time patterns, offering the right mix of charging speeds, flexible commercial structures and branded charging experiences that reinforce your destination's identity.

Retail Outcomes

Increased Footfall

EV drivers actively seek out destinations with charging facilities, particularly for longer shopping trips.

+

Longer Dwell Time

Shoppers charging their vehicles spend more time on-site, browsing additional stores and using food & beverage facilities.

£

Higher Basket Value

Extended visits correlate with increased spend per visit, benefiting both landlords and tenants.

Retail Charging Solutions

Rapid and Fast Chargers

We deploy a mix of rapid (50kW+) and fast (7-22kW) chargers depending on typical dwell time patterns. Supermarkets and quick-stop retail may benefit from rapid charging, whilst shopping centres and outlet villages are well-suited to fast charging.

Our site assessments consider visitor patterns, parking turnover and energy capacity to optimise the charging mix.

Flexible Commercial Structures

We offer revenue share arrangements, capital purchase options and zero-capex models where viable. For multi-tenanted retail parks and shopping centres, we can structure agreements that benefit both landlords and tenants.

Our team will work with you to find the right commercial model for your site and stakeholders.

Branded Charger Totems and Signage

Charging infrastructure can be branded to reflect your destination's identity, with custom totem designs, signage and wayfinding that integrate seamlessly into your site.

We work with your design guidelines to ensure charging facilities enhance rather than detract from the retail environment.

Multi-Site Rollouts

For retail groups and property portfolios, we offer coordinated multi-site rollouts with consistent branding, commercial terms and ongoing support.

Centralised reporting and account management ensure visibility and control across your entire estate.
