Commercial EV Charging Station Installation in Steyning & Horsham

Many commercial buildings in the Steyning area already run on a 3-phase supply. This is a big advantage because it allows for 22kW charging speeds, which is much faster than the 7kW units found at most homes. If your property only has a single-phase supply, we can help you decide if it is worth upgrading or if we should install load-balancing chargers. These smart systems monitor how much power the rest of your building is using and adjust the car charging speed to prevent any risk of blowing the main fuse.

Whenever a new EV charger is installed, we have to notify UK Power Networks (UKPN). This is a mandatory step to keep the local grid stable. In some cases, we need to get their permission before we even start the work, especially if we are adding multiple high-power units. As your local electricians, we handle all the technical paperwork and communication with the grid operator. We make sure your installation is fully compliant with BS 7671 standards and that the DNO (Distribution Network Operator) has all the records they need.

Installing charging points can help your business in several ways. For offices, it is an excellent way to support staff who are making the move to cleaner transport, often helping with your company's carbon reduction goals. For businesses with a fleet of vans or cars, switching to electric can significantly lower your long-term fuel and maintenance costs. If you run a shop, cafe, or pub in Steyning, having a visible charger on apps like Zap-Map can bring in new footfall from drivers looking for a place to top up while they go about their day.

Sussex Brown Sparks is based at Pear Tree Farm in Woodmancote, just a few minutes away from Steyning. This local focus means we can provide a faster response and a more personal service than national firms. We have over 15 years of combined experience and carry £3 million in public liability insurance, giving you peace of mind that the work is being done by qualified professionals. We understand the local building stock in Sussex, from modern industrial units to converted rural offices, and we always aim for a neat, durable installation that stands up to heavy daily use.

You have total control over how your chargers are used. We can install systems that require an RFID card or a smartphone app to start a charging session. This means you can keep the chargers restricted to staff only, or you can choose to charge the public a fee for using them. Modern commercial chargers also provide detailed reports on energy usage, which is very helpful for tax purposes or for reclaiming electricity costs from employees who use company vehicles.
