Sustainable solutions: Delivering EV infrastructure in new developments

As the push for sustainability continues to grow, the need for Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging infrastructure has become a key component in our mission to help reduce carbon emissions and support the transition to renewable energy. With the rise of electric vehicles, providing accessible charging solutions is essential for promoting green transport and helping our customers meet their own sustainability commitments.

In line with this, ESR has integrated EV charging across its development sites, allocating 10% of parking spaces for electric vehicles and to date has installed over 50 chargers. At our Horsley site office and café, we offer a solar-powered EV charging station, generating an average of 450 kWh per month—equivalent to 3,000 kilometres of drive time for customers.

In addition to environmental benefits, the installation of EV infrastructure offers a competitive advantage. Studies show that 80% of EV drivers prefer to charge their vehicles at destinations where they spend significant time, such as workplaces or retail centres. By providing EV charging options, ESR ensures that its developments remain attractive and accessible to the growing number of EV owners and futureproofing it as more companies looking to invest in green vehicle infrastructure such as EV trucks .

By integrating EV infrastructure across our developments, we aim to further support green transport and reduce carbon emissions.
