⚡ South Hetton Primary School Installs EV Charging with Government Grant Support

We’re proud to share that South Hetton Primary School in Hetton is one of the latest schools to benefit from the UK Government’s EV Infrastructure Grant, with the successful installation of three single-socket EV charge points, supporting up to three vehicles charging simultaneously.

The project was delivered by EV Smart as part of our ongoing work helping schools across the UK futureproof their sites and support the transition to electric vehicles.

🌱 Championing Cleaner Travel in Education

EV charging is becoming an essential part of modern school infrastructure — not only for convenience, but also as a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future. With this installation, South Hetton is:

• Supporting lower-emission commuting for staff and visitors

• Aligning with the UK’s Net Zero and Department for Education sustainability goals

• Demonstrating leadership in environmental responsibility to pupils and the community

These kinds of visible, practical steps help embed sustainability into school culture in a way that’s both accessible and meaningful.

🛠️ Fully Delivered by EV Smart

EV Smart provided a full turnkey solution, including:

• 3 x Single-Socket Fast EV Charge Points

• Smart charging platform and usage reporting

• DNO liaison and electrical installation

• Ongoing support and maintenance

And with funding available through the government’s grant scheme, the school was able to complete the project with little to no upfront cost.
