Car parking
The benefits for the medium and long term car parks are numerous. From improving utilisation rates to generating additional revenue over and above the parking fee, Wattif EV can help car park owners or landlords get ahead in terms of planning and roll-out of an electrical charging infrastructure.
Parking Revenue
Having EV chargers in car parks, both long and short stay, will attract EV users to the car parks knowing they have the option to charge and park. This destination charging will also help utilisation rates as the demand for EV charger-dedicated spaces increases over time, Wattif EV’s phased solution can adapt accordingly.
Funding Solution
Wattif EV offers a flexible funding and ownership solution whereby car parks can opt to wholly own (100% funded by Wattif EV), partially own (50:50) or choose a software and operations-only package. All these options include lifetime ownership costs as well as operations, maintenance and reporting and can be independent of site or location.
Planning and Installation Resource
Wattif EV has a network of installation, commission, service support, remote technical and bureau reporting services. These facilities are provided as part of the package, allowing the car park to focus on other priority areas where it has more expertise.
Lifecycle Costs
Wattif EV has built the whole lifecycle costs of ownership and operation into its packages ensuring no hidden costs for a pre-agreed duration. This allows car parks to better plan and budget for the rollout and future running costs of its EV charger infrastructure.
Specialist Knowledge and Expertise
Wattif EV has the specialist know-how and expertise required to plan, install, run and maintain the EV chargers. With its flexible packages, Wattif EV can also use a car park owner’s existing supply chain for the installation and ground works, and provide training for engineers if required.
Potential Growth
As the demand for EV chargers increases in line with the use of EV cars and vans, our solution is flexible and can grow accordingly. Individual car parks don’t need to project demand for a one-off delivery or solution, as Wattif EV can expand its infrastructure over time, to meet requirements.
Power Capacity
Smart charging allows a lower electrical draw on the existing infrastructure. This means that car parks can adopt a charging strategy and roll out EV chargers within its business earlier than predicted. In turn, this means that revenue will be generated sooner and can be reinvested into developing the infrastructure further if required.
Ownership
Depending on the car park landlord’s procurement and ownership strategy, it can choose to own outright, part own or have use of, EV chargers as per the agreement thanks to Wattif EV’s flexible finance and ownership packages. These can differ according to location or site enabling car park groups to have a more flexible approach.
Cost Avoidance
Wattif EV’s funding model enables firms to benefit from EV infrastructure cost avoidance, allowing them to deliver other priorities simultaneously. By adopting this EV charger strategy early, they will also be able to meet net zero targets sooner.

Allowing Wattif EV to be a partner in a car park owner’s EV charger infrastructure will only facilitate and precipitate the achievement of transportation goals and its strategy.
Air Quality Strategy
The early adoption of an EV charger infrastructure will facilitate the transition to EVs and ultimately, the achievement of air quality objectives the car park may have.
Transportation Goals
Allowing Wattif EV to be a partner in a car park’s EV charger infrastructure will only facilitate and precipitate the achievement of mobility goals and its strategy.

Company Cars
Employees with company EV cars can charge their cars at their place of work, encouraging them to opt-in to the scheme and choose a cost effective EV vehicle over a traditional fossil fuel car.
Scalable Solution
With the Wattif EV data and utilisation reporting suite, the car park owners can make informed decisions relating to future targets and expansion of the EV charging network at each location and by package type.
Futureproof Solution
As the Wattif EV software isn’t dependent on a specific make or model of charging hardware, it is resilient to changes in technology, therefore futureproofing a car park’s investment and EV charging strategy.
Fast Charging
By focusing primarily on smart fast charging facilities (rapid chargers are also an option), Wattif EV helps to lower the electrical draw on existing infrastructure, allowing companies to roll out an EV charging solution quickly and efficiently.
