Smithers — Delivering Smart Workplace EV Charging with Bespoke Infrastructure Design
Smithers
Challenge
Smithers was looking to introduce workplace EV charging facilities at its Leatherhead site to support the growing use of electric vehicles amongst staff and company fleet vehicles.
The site presented a unique installation challenge due to the angled retaining wall running alongside the parking bays, meaning a standard charger mounting solution would not deliver the clean, professional finish the client required.
Smithers needed a solution that would:
Provide reliable EV charging for both staff and company vehicles
Maintain the professional appearance of the site
Overcome challenging infrastructure positioning and wall alignment
Future-proof the workplace for increasing EV adoption
Deliver a high-quality installation with minimal disruption to operations
Solution
Swift Charging was appointed to design and deliver a tailored workplace EV charging solution that balanced functionality with aesthetics.
To overcome the angled wall alignment, Swift Charging designed and installed bespoke EV charger posts, allowing each charger to sit perfectly in line with the parking bays while maintaining a clean and symmetrical appearance across the site.
The project included:
Full site survey and bespoke infrastructure planning
Installation of smart workplace EV chargers for staff and company vehicle use
Custom-built mounting posts designed specifically for the site layout
Careful cable routing and containment to maintain a professional finish
Charger positioning optimised for accessibility and daily workplace use
Infrastructure for a future four points to be added at a later stage
The bespoke design ensured the installation complemented the surrounding environment while delivering a practical long-term charging solution for the business.
Results
The completed installation has provided Smithers with a professional and future-ready workplace EV charging setup that supports both employee charging and company fleet operations.
Key outcomes include:
Smart EV charging infrastructure installed for staff and company vehicles
Bespoke charger posts designed to suit the angled wall layout
Clean, aesthetically pleasing installation integrated into the site
Improved workplace sustainability and EV readiness
Scalable infrastructure to support future electric vehicle growth
Professional cable management and infrastructure finish throughout
The project successfully combined technical problem-solving with high-end visual presentation, delivering a workplace charging solution that meets both operational and aesthetic requirements.
