We’re delighted to share that Dene House Primary School in Peterlee has recently installed two dual-socket EV charge points, supporting up to four electric vehicles charging at once — all delivered by EV Smart through the UK Government’s EV Infrastructure Grant for schools.

As more schools take practical steps toward sustainability, Dene House is leading by example.

EV charging facilities are also a visible way to show pupils and the wider community that sustainability isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we do.

🔧 Delivered by EV Smart — End to End

EV Smart managed the full installation process, including:

2 x Dual-Socket Fast EV Charge Points

Maintenance and ongoing support

Thanks to the government grant, Dene House was able to benefit from this upgrade with minimal cost to the school — turning a future-facing idea into a practical, affordable improvement.
