Savills instructed by LaSalle Investment Management in December 2018 to coordinate their project to deploy electric vehicle (EV) charging points across their portfolio on a range of asset classes including shopping centres, retail parks, offices and residential blocks.
The client wished to provide EV charging facilities at suitable locations across their portfolio. Determining sites that had a suitable electricity supply and demand for EV charging was key to site selection.
On behalf of the client, Savills tendered the portfolio of sites to EV installers and developers, reviewing each response and recommending a preferred partner to the client to install EV charging points.
The tender process generated keen pricing and comprehensive responses from known and reputable parties in the EV charge point market. The robust methodology of our experts ensured a smooth process resulting in the selection of a best-in-class provider of EV charging points.
Consequently, around 30 sites have been identified in the first phase of the project with rollout due to commence in Q1 2019.
