Turning your existing chargepoints into a shared charging hub can save you money and benefit the environment. Sharing chargepoints reduces the costs associated with installing new chargepoints. It also helps speed up project timelines by avoiding supply chain delays, like hardware shortages, regulatory challenges, complex civil works, and power supply upgrades. 

Using existing charging infrastructure also means you don’t need to gain or develop new land. You can sidestep the legal, logistical, and time challenges of building new facilities. This helps you to meet your fleet decarbonisation goals faster. 

Shared charging infrastructure is a flexible and scalable way to grow your fleet. If you can’t justify investing in additional chargers for your fleet, you can share the cost of developing new infrastructure with other fleets. This makes the investment more sustainable. 

Some Scottish organisations are already sharing their depot charging infrastructure. While many of these arrangements are small-scale and informal, they show the potential of this approach.
