NHS Highland – Raigmore Hospital
Raigmore Hospital needed to support growing demand for workplace and destination charging from staff, patients and visitors in an environment where longer dwell times are common.
The Project Story
Challenge
Growing charging demand.
With EVs already operating across the hospital fleet and more staff, patients and visitors arriving in electric vehicles, NHS Highland needed to expand access to convenient charging at Raigmore Hospital.
A hospital presents a particular charging environment. Vehicles are often parked for several hours at a time, making it well suited to destination charging, but any new infrastructure also needs to work around a busy operational site.
NHS Highland needed a solution that could support different types of EV users while contributing to its wider sustainability ambitions.

Solution
Charging where it's needed.
HALO FastHub provided Raigmore Hospital with 12 EV charge points in a single, integrated solution, giving staff, patients and visitors access to charging while their vehicles are already parked on site.
The hub combines EV charging with its own solar canopy, generating renewable electricity directly where charging takes place.
By matching the charging solution to the longer dwell times typically found at a hospital, Raigmore could provide practical everyday charging without asking users to change how they use the site.

Outcome
More people charging.
HALO has enabled NHS Highland to expand the charging available at Raigmore and support a growing number of EV users across the hospital community.
For staff, patients and visitors, it means being able to make useful use of the time their vehicle would already be parked.
For NHS Highland, it provides charging infrastructure alongside on-site renewable energy generation as part of its wider transition towards lower-carbon transport.
Growing utilisation demonstrates the role that well-placed destination charging can play at healthcare sites, making the switch to electric vehicles easier for the people who use them every day.

With the introduction of HALO FastHub, NHS Highland is now better positioned to support patients, staff and visitors with EVs at Raigmore
