Practical steps for managing your electric vehicle charging
Follow this practical guide to choosing the right home, workplace, and public charging solutions for your electric vehicle needs.
Our products only matter if they change what households actually do. We measure that, publish the method, and let clients use the figures in their own disclosures.
Everything we report rolls up into these four.
We measure the lifetime emissions avoided when a driver moves from petrol or diesel to electric, and report it per scheme and in total.
Paying from gross salary removes the upfront cost that keeps clean technology out of reach. We track the pounds saved by employees, not just units sold.
Our schemes cost employers nothing to set up or run, and give them a figure they can put in their own reporting.
We publish impact figures every year with the method behind them, so clients can evidence their disclosures rather than estimate them.
Headline figures. We publish the detailed, restated numbers every year.
Cars, charging, solar, heat pumps and the whole net zero home.
SME, mid-market and enterprise employers already run a scheme with us.
Pounds saved in the last five years through gross salary payment.
Independently assessed on social and environmental performance.

Every figure here is published with its method in our annual impact reporting.
Read the impact reportingHow the numbers are built, in the open.
Emissions avoided are calculated per vehicle using the difference between the electric vehicle's assessed lifetime emissions and a comparable internal combustion equivalent, adjusted for UK grid intensity.
Savings delivered are calculated from the difference between the gross-salary cost of the benefit and the equivalent net-cost retail alternative, using the employee's marginal rate.
Figures are reviewed annually and restated where methodology changes. The full basis of preparation is set out in the Annual Impact & Tax Report.

It removes the up front cost that stops households switching to electric cars, low carbon heating and home generation. Transport and buildings are two of the largest sources of UK emissions, so shifting households earlier has a measurable effect.
We track the number of clean technology units delivered through the schemes and estimate the emissions avoided against the equivalent petrol, diesel or gas alternative, using published UK conversion factors.
They can. Employee commuting and, for some employers, home energy sit in scope 3 reporting, and schemes give employers evidence of measures offered and taken up.
