Why an EV Charging Station Is Essential For Your Business

Nov 22, 2022

When it comes to marketing, you need to aim where your target market is going and not where it is at the moment. Consumers and their demographics are constantly moving targets, and you will miss your intended mark if you do not plan ahead.


For example, according to Bloomberg, electric vehicles (EVs) will account for two-thirds of all automotive sales in less than two decades. A good way to market to those buyers would be to install an electric vehicle charging station for your customers and even your employees. With more and more people buying electric vehicles, business owners may want to keep reading to learn more about why an EV charging station is essential for your business.


Convenience

As more people and workers use EVs, they will need a conveniently located electric vehicle charging station to charge their vehicles. Even if they have one at home, they might have more than one vehicle or need to recharge more thoroughly after commuting to work. This is a great perk that your company can boast about during the hiring or promotion process.


Cost Savings

Prospective employees could view a charging station as an added benefit that helps to offset the cost to go to and from work. When employees don't have to go out of their way to charge their car, it cuts down time on their commute. They also won't have to install a charging station in their homes, which would add to the electricity bill. A charging station also will provide clients and customers with an added incentive to stop at your business and take a look around while recharging.


Brand Reputation

A charging station also could help to develop goodwill toward your business and brand. Many locals would view it as a conscientious effort to protect the environment. Your employees and future employees also could view it as a generous gesture on your part. Take a look at your corporate budget for the next fiscal year and keep charging stations in mind.


There are many other benefits to investing in these charging stations. Do you want to learn more about installing EV charging stations for your business? Reach out to us at Northwind Solar today. Our representatives are ready to answer your questions and set you up with an installation today!

Northwind Solar will Transition Forward Note: This communication from Northwind Solar CEO Josh Stolzenburg is a message to our stakeholders, clients, and friends about an exciting new development at Northwind. I’ve been consumed, for nearly two decades now, leading a passion project called Northwind Solar. Originally conceived to provide meaningful work for those who wanted to advance climate and energy solutions, we’ve grown into one of Wisconsin’s most effective and respected solar companies. Thirty committed employees (of whom 16 share ownership) now work out of our Amherst office. The time has come for me to step out of the role of CEO, shift my Northwind work to new priorities, and cultivate next generation leadership. As a company, we have matured over the years and come a long way from the conceptual white boards I scrawled on the walls of a friend’s basement in 2007, My crude “business plan” evolved from educational work (with the Midwest Renewable Energy Association) which fueled my desire to put meaningful green kilowatt hours on the Wisconsin grid to offset fossil fuel use. I engaged a couple of technically proficient business partners in 2008 and we began to offer wind, solar heating, and solar electric to suit the needs of a growing customer base. In the mid-teens we shifted our exclusive focus to solar electric (including battery systems and, now, smart electrification). From the beginning, community involvement was an important corollary to our professional work. My early involvement with the development of the Central Rivers Farmshed and work with the WI Farmer’s Union led to compelling work with and support for local small farms. Until recently, I’ve advised Mid-State Technical College’s renewable energy program since it’s inception in 2008 and we’ve been able to hire graduates of that program consistently since 2010. I’ve served on the Renew WI board of directors since 2019 and helped to create SolarShare WI, a thriving community solar investment cooperative. Part of the Northwind ethos has been distributed management and shared ownership. We formalized that in 2017 when we converted from a partnership to a worker owned cooperative. Employees could buy in, become owners, and share in the financial rewards and governance. In the seven years since there have been challenges, successes, and changes in personnel as we have learned to be a democratic company.
