Swift Charging Carl Zeiss UK Microscopy EV Project
Carl Zeiss
Challenge
Carl Zeiss, a leading UK manufacturer of microscopy and scientific instruments, embarked on an ambitious project: the development of a state-of-the-art 15,000 sq ft facility in Lutterworth. A critical requirement for this new, modern campus was a comprehensive Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
The challenge lay in integrating a full 360-degree EV solution seamlessly with ongoing building and contractor operations, ensuring minimal disruption and a future-proof setup for staff, fleet vehicles, and visitors.
Solution
As Swift Charging, we provided a complete end-to-end EV solution, demonstrating our expertise in complex commercial installations. Our process involved meticulous project management, working hand-in-hand with Carl Zeiss's building contractors from the outset. This collaborative approach ensured the EV charging infrastructure was not an afterthought but an integral part of the new facility's design.
The Swift Charging team handled every stage: from initial site assessment and bespoke solution design, through to efficient installation, rigorous commissioning, and ongoing management of eight EV Charging Points (EVCPs) strategically placed across the site. This comprehensive service ensured a smooth transition and operational readiness.
Results
The successful deployment of eight EVCPs has significantly enhanced the new Carl Zeiss Lutterworth facility. Staff, fleet drivers, and visitors now benefit from reliable, accessible, and convenient EV charging, delivered by Swift Charging.
The seamless integration with the construction project meant zero delays related to the EV solution, and Carl Zeiss gained a robust, scalable charging network that supports their sustainability goals and provides a modern amenity for their valued employees and guests. The project underlines Swift Charging's capability to deliver complex EV infrastructure solutions within challenging operational environments.
