What are the options for commercial EV fleet charging in Bath?

Commercial fleet charging in Bath typically uses 7kW Type 2 AC chargers per bay, or 22kW dual-phase where available. For large fleets, load management systems (dynamic load balancing) prevent overloading the site supply. We assess your supply capacity before specifying hardware.

Do I need a 3-phase supply for fleet EV charging?

Not always — single-phase 7kW chargers work for overnight charging. For faster charging (22kW) or multiple simultaneous users, 3-phase is required. We assess your current DNO supply, fuse rating, and available headroom before recommending an upgrade or smart load management.

Is OZEV workplace charging grant available for fleet charging?

OZEV's Workplace Charging Scheme (WCS) offers up to £350 per socket (max 40 sockets per application) for businesses installing EV charge points. DS Electrical is an OZEV-authorised installer — we handle the application. The grant is claimed at point of installation, reducing your upfront cost.

How long does a commercial fleet charging installation take?

A 4-bay fleet charging installation (including distribution board upgrade and groundworks) typically takes 2–3 days. Larger installations with trenching and civil works are phased to keep some bays operational. We project-manage the full installation including DNO notification.

Local Knowledge · Bath

Why fleet EV in Bath needs a load assessment first

Bath's commercial EV picture splits hard. Locksbrook / Lower Bristol Road industrial units mostly have ample 3-phase headroom — straightforward 8 to 16-bay fleet installs without DNO escalation. Bath Quays new-build offices have decent 3-phase but landlord-controlled metering and proprietary sub-metering arrangements make chargeback billing the design challenge, not the power. The heritage city centre (Royal Crescent, Pulteney, Milsom) is the opposite — Grade I/II listed retail and offices with single-phase 100A heads, no on-street parking, and concealed cable runs through period fabric. We almost always recommend dynamic load management on Bath central jobs to avoid the DNO upgrade.

Older 1980s commercial stock around Locksbrook frequently has split-load consumer units that don't meet BS 7671 18th Edition Amd 2 for new EV circuits — Type A RCBO is mandatory and we often quote board-and-circuits as one job. Bath Quays needs particular attention to landlord-tenant consent for any sub-main work.
