Powering community developments with EV charging amenities

See how we teamed up with LSP Developments to turn their EV charging infrastructure needs into a valuable community asset. By handling all aspects of EV charging installation, maintenance, and operation, our approach gives LSP a reliable, hands-off solution.

LSP Developments is a leading property developer specialising in developments in high-quality mixed-use, retail-led, and healthcare sectors across England and Wales.

When faced with a need to add EV charging infrastructure to their developments, LSP turned to us for a solution. By taking ownership of installing, maintaining, and operating their EV charging points, we helped LSP Developments add a valuable community amenity to their site.

Together, we met planning and building regulation requirements to install EV charging infrastructure and transformed this necessity into a valuable opportunity that benefits both their development and the local community.

How it started

As part of their planning and building consent, LSP Developments needed to add EV charging infrastructure to their development.

As a developer of high-quality schemes, LSP was looking for more than just an installation service. They wanted a reliable partner who could take ownership of this complex task while offering financial solutions that aligned with their project goals. 

LSP’s developments have a strong community focus so there was a keen desire to make sure these EV charging points were a value-add for the neighbourhood. Add in their commitment to offer high-quality, sustainable facilities, LSP also wanted the EV charging to align with their sustainability goals.

With our expertise in managing EV installation projects for developers and commitment to sustainability, we were the right people to make it happen.

Together, we transformed a planning and building requirement into a valuable and sustainable community asset.

What we did

We worked closely with LSP Developments to install high-quality EV charging infrastructure on their site. Acting as more than just an installer, we took full ownership of the project — from funding, installation, and commissioning to the ongoing operation and maintenance. 

Partnering with us meant LSP Developments benefitted from a reliable, hands-off solution that let them focus on other areas of development while we handled all their EV charging needs.

Our proposed model transformed a compliance requirement for EV charging infrastructure into a valuable opportunity for LSP Developments. We worked with LSP to find the best solution for their specific needs and goals. This approach meant we could put forward a financially attractive and high-quality solution that enhances the appeal of their development from a community and sustainability perspective.

By working closely with LSP Development’s team and adhering to their build programme, we were able to achieve practical completion and integrate seamlessly into their development timelines. LSP also benefitted from having a single point of contact for all their EV needs — something that’s especially welcome when working across several large-scale projects at once.

The outcome

We successfully supported LSP Development’s roll-out of EV charging infrastructure, ensuring they had the right number of chargers to meet current and future needs based on their site’s amenities and user demand.

The project was completed in line with the practical completion date, meeting all key milestones and keeping everything on track. The EV charging points are now open to both residents and transit customers — adding significant value to the development. 

What initially seemed like a regulatory must-have has grown into a valuable opportunity for LSP Developments. The addition of evyve EV charging stations enhances their development amenities, increasing the community appeal.

The future

Going forward, we are excited to continue our partnership with LSP Developments. As we collaborate on more projects together, LSP will benefit from the added value of offering sustainable EV charging infrastructure that enriches the local community.
