Estimated solar capacity: 240 kWp based on 2,000 m² usable area.
Annual revenue potential
£72,200 / year≈ £722k over 10 years
Year 1 bonus: +£57,800

What 'more revenue' actually means at a hospitality venue
Real numbers from UK venues with on-site EV charging. Sources cited.
Direct charging revenue
per year for a typical 8-bay hospitality car park
- Around 3 charging sessions per day across the site at current ~6% EV adoption (DfT vehicle stats, 2026)
- Average margin per kWh dispensed under our fully-managed model
- Scales with bay count and footfall — we share the actual model on your free visit
Dwell-time uplift = more F&B spend
average dwell time at venues with on-site EV charging
- EV drivers stay 30–60 minutes longer per visit on average (RAC Foundation / Allego destination data)
- Hospitality venues report charger users spending 1.5–2× more per visit on F&B (Costa / Pret destination studies, 2024)
- A 20-minute coffee stop becomes a 90-minute meal
New customers from new traffic
of EV drivers will pick a venue with charging over one without
- 1.4m+ plug-in vehicles on UK roads (DfT vehicle stats, Q1 2026 estimate)
- EV drivers plan routes around charging — your venue gets listed on Zap-Map, A Better Route Planner and Google Maps
- Repeat-visit rate from charging customers is ~3× a normal first-time visitor
All figures are illustrative ranges drawn from public industry sources and our own portfolio. Your free visit produces a venue-specific revenue model. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

"We never promise these numbers without seeing your site first. The Venue Revenue Programme visit is free — it's how we find out."
Is the Venue Revenue Programme right for your site?
We say no a lot. That's how we keep the £0 model honest.
This is a fit if…
- You own or operate a venue in UK hospitality, retail, leisure, workplace or property
- You have a car park or yard with at least 6 spaces we can re-stripe for EV
- You see daily visitor footfall (guests, shoppers, members, staff, tenants)
- You're happy for us to run the kit for 5–10 years
- You're open to listing your venue on Zap-Map, Google Maps and route-planning apps
This isn't a fit if…
- You want to own the chargers outright on day one (we can quote you a CapEx purchase separately, but it isn't this programme)
- Your site has fewer than 6 parking spaces or no DNO-feasible connection
- You don't want any signage or commercial branding on the chargers
- You can't commit to keeping the chargers operational for the full term
- You need a same-week install (we move fast, but not that fast)
"If you're not sure, check your eligibility. We'll tell you straight."
How It Works
4 weeks from booked visit to first charge
We handle everything — survey, design, DNO, civils and commissioning. You just say yes.
Check your eligibility
Our team visits your venue, walks the car park, scopes the install. Free, no obligation.
What you do: nothing. We bring the experts to you.
Design + permissions
We design the layout, secure DNO connection and any planning needed.
We secure DNO connection at no cost to you and submit any OZEV grant paperwork on your behalf.
Install + commission
Civils, cabling, chargers, signage. Site stays open.
Your car park stays open. Most installs require zero closure days; complex sites max 1 closure day.
Live
First charge dispensed. You start generating revenue.
Day 1 revenue. The kWh meter starts the moment the first car plugs in.
What it's costing you not to act.
Every month a venue without charging is a month of revenue walking past the door.

"Six months from now you'll be reading the next set of numbers. The question is whether you'll be earning them, or watching them go to the venue down the road."
What you get for £0

Doing it yourself
Risk is yours.

on day one
Total value to you: in the region of £100,000+ in year one.
Your cost: zero.
Limited capacity
We onboard 8 new venues per month. When the calendar's full, the next slot rolls into the following month. Check your eligibility to secure a slot.
Grant windows close
The OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme and equivalent grants run on yearly windows. Acting this quarter typically secures funding that's harder to capture later.
How we make money — and why our interests line up with yours
If we don't earn, you don't earn. If you don't earn, we don't earn. That's the whole model.
We fund the install
Hardware, civils, grid connection, software. Our balance sheet, our risk.
We earn from kWh dispensed
Every time a car charges at your venue, the kWh count meters revenue. We take an agreed share. You take an agreed share.
Your share is yours from day one
Paid monthly into your account. No deferrals, no clawback, no opaque fees.
If no one charges at your venue, we don't get paid either. That's why we visit first — we will not install at a site we don't believe will earn for both of us.
What changes when you add EV charging.
A normal Tuesday at your venue, with and without.
Who is this for?

Why we can do this when others can't
69 years of UK engineering, 10,000+ chargers deployed, one fully-managed model.
Energy-Partners has been engineering UK energy infrastructure for nearly seven decades. Our team has installed more than 10,000 chargers across the UK — for hotels, retail parks, gyms, councils, depots and forecourts.
We've spent the last three years perfecting a model where the venue pays nothing — because we noticed venue owners want the revenue and the brand uplift without the cost, the risk or the complexity. We fund the kit, we run the kit, you keep the upside.
We don't quote off a website. We come to your car park, walk the site, scope the install and tell you what we believe it will earn. That visit is free, takes about an hour, and you're under no obligation. It's the only way we can promise outcomes — because we only install where they will actually land.
