Project overview
KB Wilde Consulting recently partnered with Henry Boot Developments to undertake the contemporary transformation of Blake House in West London. The three-storey office, situated at Cowley Business Park, was to undergo an expansion to 37,500 sq ft of office space to accommodate and attract more businesses. With such a vast expansion, the increased demand of EV charge points would have soon become evident. KB Wilde Consulting understood the need to offer available charging points for users of the office space, so contacted EVC for a solution.
EVC conducted an on-site survey at Blake House to gather a greater understanding of available infrastructure for charge points. During this process, it was discussed with KB Wilde that a new point of connection would be installed to provide power to the charge points, as well as consultation about the amount of charging bays which would be required to match current demand.
EVC were very attentive during the consultation process and we were kept well informed throughout.

After discussions, it was agreed that the best solution for Blake House would be for EVC to install and manage five 22kWh chargers across 70 designated parking bays. These bays were to be made available for users of electric vehicles only, a I lowing employees to charge their car for the duration of their work day. Employees would also gain access to the EVC app which allowed them to keep track of their charge remotely via their phone, whilst offering data insights about their charge such as cost and CO2 savings.
Installation of Blake House's new charge points were completed within a week and were made available to use by employees immediately after installation. The chargers remain managed and monitored 24/7 by EVC's software team to ensure the maximum uptime.
