Dear [PROPERTY MANAGER’S NAME],

I hope you are well. My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am a resident at [PROPERTY FULL ADDRESS/ APARTMENT NUMBER]. 

I [RECENTLY PURCHASED / PLAN TO PURCHASE] an electric vehicle (EV). The ability to charge your car at home, rather than detouring regularly to refuelling stations is a key benefit of driving an EV. I therefore want to discuss installing EV charging stations at our property and hope you can help me with my request. 

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular in the UK. With the government’s pledge to ban all sales of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030, the 2020s will see an absolute explosion in EV uptake. By 2030, it will  be the dominant mode of propulsion for cars.

This means that homes with EV charging will become far more important to the majority. I believe charging infrastructure will be a must have for properties wanting to keep up to date and retain their desirability and value.

[IF YOU ARE IN A LOW EMISSION ZONE THEN INSERT: Given the location of the property within a [PLANNED / EXISTING] Low Emission Zone, it is additionally important to ensure that residents are able to viably adopt low emission vehicles.] 

A new Government grant has been released this year to help offset the cost of installing this infrastructure. This new grant provides up to £30,000, per building on a site, towards the cost of installing chargepoint infrastructure. 

I am sure you will agree that it would be great to take advantage of such an opportunity before it is fully utilised by others, as it does remove a significant barrier to EV Charging infrastructure. Pod Point (one of the largest chargepoint providers in the UK) give recommendations on best approach on their website.

For reasons outlined above, I hope you will consider offering EV charging at [PROPERTY NAME]. A Pod Point representative is more than happy to speak with you on this. All you need to do is populate your contact details at this link and they will be in touch to discuss everything in further detail.

Pod Point also provide a ‘Checklist’ that summarises the key considerations and actions to proceed. Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to discuss the matter further. 

Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to hearing back from you. 

Kind regards,
[YOUR NAME]
