Now, more than ever, we are looking at supporting schools in Devon with their Net Zero commitment and environmental policies. One significant way is with the installation of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations. These installations aren’t a step towards supporting modern technology; they represent a commitment to sustainability and a cleaner future.

The Benefits for Schools and Staff

1. Net Zero Commitment: By installing EV charging stations, schools demonstrate a proactive approach to the net zero commitment. This move not only aligns with environmental policies but also instills these values in students.
2. Attracting and Retaining Staff: For school staff who already own or are considering purchasing an EV, on-site charging stations offer a significant perk. It provides convenience and an incentive for staff to switch to more environmentally friendly modes of transport.
3. Educational Opportunities: The presence of EV charging stations serves as a practical educational tool for students. It opens avenues for discussing sustainable living, renewable energy sources, and the technology behind electric vehicles.
4. Community Leadership: Schools are often seen as community leaders. By adopting EV technology, they set a precedent for local communities, encouraging wider adoption of environmental policies.
5. Reducing Carbon Footprint: Every EV charged at the school means less reliance on fossil fuels, directly contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions and air pollution.

Grants and Funding Opportunities

There’s an added financial incentive for schools considering this leap into the future. Various grants and funding opportunities are available to facilitate the installation of EV charging stations. These grants can significantly offset the initial costs and make the project more feasible.

Net Zero Commitment

The world is rapidly embracing electric vehicles. With the UK government committing to a greener future with their net zero commitment, there is an increasing push towards EV adoption. Installing charging stations now prepares schools for the inevitable increase in EV usage among staff and the community.
