It is an amazing thing to see it go up so quickly. It has probably been 6 hours since I arrived here, and I am charging. That is pretty impressive when these things usually take months…

– Robert Llewellyn, Host of the Everything Electric Show on the deployment at the University of Surrey


The force’s target is to be Net Zero for all scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2040, and it is hoped exploring the use of technology such as this – which uses solar panels on its roof – will help us achieve that.

Keith Dickinson,
Director of Resources, Merseyside Police

As a leader in the renewables sector, we are committed to setting an example by using innovative solutions to reduce our carbon footprint. At the same time, we aim to ensure that students have a rewarding and positive experience during their time at the Academy. Providing a convenient and sustainable onsite EV charging solution will help us achieve that goal.

James Galloway
Global Product Director at Segen Ltd

Our Shift to Zero initiative is well underway as we strive to improve sustainability across the venue. We are always looking at ways to further reduce our carbon footprint, and installing solar-powered EV charging was an obvious step.

Stuart Pringle
Managing Director at Silverstone
