Powering a Greener Future: Free EV Charging for Schools & the DfE Climate Plan

Are you a school looking to embrace sustainable transport and contribute to a greener future? We're excited to announce a new program offering free EV charging solutions for schools, designed to seamlessly integrate with the Department for Education's (DfE) Climate Change and Sustainability Strategy.

The DfE Climate Plan emphasizes the importance of sustainability across the education sector, from curriculum and estates to operations and procurement. Providing EV charging infrastructure at your school not only supports the transition to electric vehicles but also demonstrates a tangible commitment to reducing carbon emissions and educating the next generation about environmental responsibility.

Our program aims to remove the financial barriers to installing EV chargers, helping schools like yours to:

Become a hub for sustainable transport: Encourage staff, parents, and visitors to switch to electric vehicles by providing convenient charging options.
Reduce your carbon footprint: Directly contribute to national and local efforts to combat climate change.
Enhance your educational offering: Provide a real-world example of sustainable infrastructure for students to learn from.
Align with DfE climate goals: Actively participate in the government's strategy for a sustainable education system.
