Soar Valley College EV Charging Installation

Overview

Soar Valley College approached Mango EV to explore the installation of electric vehicle charging facilities across its campus. As a large and busy site with extensive sports facilities that are regularly opened to visitors, the college wanted to provide convenient EV charging for both staff and members of the public.

Following a detailed site assessment, the ideal location was identified as the Training Centre car park. Situated adjacent to both the staff car park and sports facilities, this area offered several advantages:

• Easily accessible for staff and visitors
• Highly visible from the site entrance
• Ample parking availability
• Close proximity to a suitable power supply

Mango EV proposed the installation of 6 x 22kW VCHRGD pedestal-mounted EV chargers, supported by a comprehensive back-office management platform.

This solution provides sufficient charging capacity for current demand while allowing the college to accommodate increasing EV adoption in the years ahead. The management software enables the college to set and adjust charging tariffs for different user groups, giving them full control over access, pricing, and usage with minimal administrative effort.

• Problem: A busy college with EV-driving staff and regular visitors, but no EV charging infrastructure available on site.
• Solution: Installation of 6 x 22kW VCHRGD pedestal-mounted EV chargers, supported by back-office management software for monitoring and tariff control.
• Result: The installation has provided Soar Valley College with a reliable and scalable EV charging solution that benefits both staff and visitors. The chargers support the college’s sustainability goals while also creating an opportunity to generate revenue from charging sessions
