Severn Trent electrifies operating fleet by installing 352 EVBox charging ports

Amsterdam and Coventry, UK, May 12, 2020—Severn Trent, responsible for water supply management, as well as waste water treatment and disposal, is working toward having a fleet of vehicles that are entirely electric by 2030. This is one of the many reasons why EVBox was selected by Severn Trent to provide 352 EVBox BusinessLine charging ports for its charging infrastructure at operational sites, offices, and transport workshops throughout the Midlands, UK.

Severn Trent carried out extensive research and compiled a shortlist of EV charging station manufacturers on the way to choosing EVBox. One of the main factors that led to this decision was the fact that EVBox is the first company in the world to introduce OCPP-certified  (Open Charge Point Protocol) stations to the market, and the charging stations will help Severn Trent to achieve its ambitions of carbon neutrality and usage of 100% renewable energy by 2030.

Moreover, Severn Trent was impressed by EVBox’s ability to offer both AC and DC charging solutions—something that has led to EVBox being held in high regard within the eMobility industry. Also, the option for customized branding on the hardware played a role in the decision making process. With EVBox, Severn Trent was able to select a customized design for the EVBox BusinessLine charging stations based on their brief.

Not only will EVBox provide 176 Double EVBox BusinessLine charging stations but it will also play a crucial role even before installations begin. EVBox will conduct online training through its partner academy—giving Severn Trent’s installation partners the ability to provide the latest and most comprehensive on-site support as soon as normal operations resume in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
