Managing EV Charging Costs in the Workplace: Understanding Your Business’s EV Charging Trends

Businesses are always looking for ways to improve energy efficiency. Integrating management platforms with EMMA AI helps streamline data, reduce waste, and optimise costs across multiple sites. One area of increasing focus in your business could be your employee Electric Vehicle (EV) charging habits.

Why EV Charging Data Matters

More employees are driving EVs, and more are returning to the workplace. As a result, on-site charging points are becoming a growing energy consideration. But without visibility into when and how employees charge, businesses could be incurring energy waste and higher costs. Understanding EV charging trends can help organisations:

✔ Optimise charging schedules based on energy tariffs

✔ Reduce demand spikes that could trigger higher energy costs

✔ Encourage sustainable employee charging behaviours

✔ Plan for future infrastructure needs as EV adoption increases

Key Insights from EV Charging Data

So how can EMMA AI help? By connecting your EV charging platform, businesses gain real-time visibility. This provides data on key charging trends and energy use.

How EMMA AI Helps Businesses Meet New ESOS Requirements

Charging peak times – Are employees plugging in first thing in the morning, or is demand spread throughout the day
Energy pricing impact – Would shifting charging to off-peak hours (e.g. after lunch) reduce costs?
Load balancing – Is EV charging creating an unnecessary demand spike alongside HVAC, lighting, and other high-energy systems?
Infrastructure planning – How many charging points are needed now vs. in the future?

How EMMA AI Works Together with Your Platforms

When paired with your EV charging platform, EMMA AI doesn’t just track energy use—it turns data into strategy.

Smart scheduling: Encourage EV charging within lower tariff periods to save costs.
Load prioritisation: Ensure EV charging doesn’t disrupt other critical building operations.
Custom alerts: Receive notifications if unexpected energy spikes occur due to charging activity.

Beyond EV Charging: A Smarter Energy Future

EV charging is just one part of a bigger picture. Integrating BMS with EMMA AI connects data from HVAC, lighting, and air conditioning. This allows businesses to have full control over energy use.

Data-driven insights help energy managers take control of EV charging strategies. This leads to lower costs and a more sustainable workplace.
