⚡ Acre Rigg Primary School Installs EV Charge Points with Government Grant Support

We’re excited to share that Acre Rigg Primary School has joined the growing list of forward-thinking schools investing in sustainable infrastructure, with the installation of three single-socket EV charge points on site.

Delivered by EV Smart and supported by the UK Government’s EV Infrastructure Grant for state-funded schools, the installation enables three electric vehicles to charge simultaneously — providing practical support for staff and visitors who drive electric.

🌱 Supporting Cleaner Travel and Climate Awareness

By installing EV charging, Acre Rigg is helping lead the charge towards a low-emission future. This upgrade supports:

• Lower carbon emissions from school-related travel

• The Department for Education’s Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy

• Everyday learning by showing pupils how sustainability can be embedded into real life

It’s another great example of a school turning climate ambition into meaningful, visible action.

🔧 Fully Delivered by EV Smart

As with all our education-sector installations, EV Smart provided a full turnkey solution, including:

• 3 x Single-Socket Fast EV Charge Points

• Civil and electrical works

• DNO coordination and commissioning

• Smart back-office setup, support and maintenance

Thanks to the government grant, Acre Rigg was able to benefit from this upgrade with minimal cost to the school.
