Provide EV Charging for Patients, Guests, and Staff

Hospitals are a major hub for traffic in the city with often thousands of people going in and out every day. With the growing prominence of electric vehicles on the road, an increasing number of hospital visitors are arriving in EVs. Given the sheer volume of vehicular traffic hospitals receive and the typical length of stay (healthcare workers may work for 8+ hours), it makes sense to locate EV charging stations in accessible locations at the hospital.

Installing EV charging stations means more than just providing charging opportunities for EV drivers. The presence of EV charging stations gives the hospital or medical office a modern and sustainable appearance that fits the overall image that healthcare facilities typically portray: healthy living, scientific achievement, and cutting-edge patient care.

Why Should Healthcare Facilities Install EV Charging Stations? 

Some of the benefits of installing EV charging stations include:

  • Providing a valuable amenity for doctors, nurses, staff, patients, and visitors who drive EVs.
  • Improving air quality and reducing emissions near sensitive communities
  • Enhancing the visual appeal of the facility with high-tech charging stations
  • Adding a “green” dimension to the overall perception of the hospital
