As of the end of February 2025, there are over 1,400,000 fully electric cars in the UK. With the rise in electric vehicles, the demand for accessible and reliable charging infrastructure is rapidly increasing. 

However, not all residential properties are equally suitable for the installation of Electric Vehicle Charge Points (EVCPS) due to the lack of off-street parking availability. From EV Charge Point Installers, to Fleet Managers assessing the suitability of drivers' properties for home charging solutions, identifying which homes are appropriate for EVCPs is crucial. 

Advanced Infrastructure’s Potential for Off-Street Parking Data has emerged as a vital insight for identifying the most suitable residential properties for EVCP installations. This allows businesses to focus their efforts on locations where installations are most suitable, ensuring that new charge points are deployed where they will be used most effectively. By assessing whether homes have access to off-street parking, organisations can ensure that charge points are placed in locations where they will be used efficiently, maximising both the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of their infrastructure rollout.

How can the Potential for Off-Street Parking Data maximise EVCP deployment?
‍

1. Qualifying Customers for EV Charge Point Installation
The Potential for Off-Street Parking Data not only helps businesses identify optimal locations for installations but also speeds up the customer qualification process. By instantly accessing data about whether a property has off-street parking, businesses can quickly determine whether a customer’s property is suitable for an EV charge point installation. This ability to qualify customers based on their property's parking configuration allows companies to focus their efforts on high-potential homes. As a result, businesses can optimise their customer acquisition strategies, improving the efficiency of installations and ensuring a higher success rate for each charge point installed.

2. Targeting High-Potential Residential Areas for EVCP Adoption
By combining the Potential for Off-Street Parking Data with EVCP insights, such as Existing Public EVCP Data, businesses can identify neighborhoods with a lack of on-street charge point and higher need for at home EVCPs. By focusing marketing and sales efforts on high-potential residential areas, businesses can increase customer acquisition rates and streamline the process of securing installations. For charge point operators, this data-driven approach allows them to strategically advertise their services, ensuring that outreach is targeted at the right customers, leading to higher conversion rates and more efficient resource allocation.

3. Supporting Local Government Planning
Local authorities and urban planners can leverage the Potential for Off-Street Parking Data to guide the development of EV charging infrastructure in residential areas. By identifying areas with a high concentration of properties lacking off-street parking, local governments can prioritise these neighborhoods for public charging solutions. This ensures that EV charging networks are built where they are needed most, preventing congestion at public charging stations and ensuring equitable access to charging for all residents. In turn, this data supports local governments in their efforts to create sustainable, future-proof urban spaces that are ready for the increasing demand for EV infrastructure.

4. Powering Software and Apps
Technology companies developing data-driven software solutions for the EV ecosystem can significantly enhance their platforms by integrating the Potential for Off-Street Parking Data. This integration allows tech companies to offer users more precise and personalised recommendations, improving user experience and enabling better targeting of optimal charging locations.

Future-Proofing EV Infrastructure with Data

As the UK moves further toward a fully electric future, the demand for charging infrastructure will only grow. Advanced Infrastructure’s Potential for Off-Street Parking Data provides businesses with the insights needed to make data-driven decisions on where to deploy new charging solutions. By targeting residential properties with off-street parking, businesses can ensure that their EV infrastructure rollout is both effective and efficient, while also future-proofing the network for increased demand. This data-driven approach ensures that the EV charging network is scalable, sustainable, and capable of supporting the UK’s shift toward electric mobility.
