Workplace EV charging designed for the full build-out, not just today's demand. Grid connection, distribution, energy management, and solar integration.
Every workplace EV project follows a clear sequence. Here is exactly what happens at each stage.
The first step is understanding not just how many chargers are needed today but what the demand will look like in three to five years as fleet electrification accelerates. USP begins with a needs assessment that captures current EV fleet numbers, planned growth, staff and visitor parking patterns, and peak dwell times. This feeds a demand model that distinguishes between managed and unmanaged charging scenarios, showing the difference in peak demand and the financial case for investing in an energy management system from the outset.
A small workplace installation of five to ten 7kW chargers may be accommodated within an existing supply using dynamic load management, avoiding the cost and lead time of a new connection. Beyond 20 chargers, or where the existing supply is already heavily loaded, a dedicated new connection is almost always required. USP's approach is to size the grid connection for the full anticipated build-out from the first application, even if only the first phase of chargers is installed immediately. This avoids a second, more disruptive and expensive connection application when the next tranche of chargers is needed.
Behind the grid connection, USP designs and installs the full distribution infrastructure: cables, containment, feeder pillars, and earth bonding. For operational car parks, civil works require careful management to avoid disruption to parking operations. USP plans all works in phases, maintains clear access routes throughout, and can work overnight or at weekends where client operations require it. The distribution design follows either a radial or ring-main philosophy depending on the site layout, with the choice driven by resilience requirements and cable run economics.
An EMS is the intelligence layer that sits between the grid connection and the individual chargers, monitoring total site consumption and modulating charging rates in real time to stay within the agreed Maximum Import Capacity. For time-of-use tariff optimisation, the EMS can also shift charging to overnight periods when wholesale electricity prices are lower. Where solar PV is installed, the EMS directs surplus generation to EV charging before it is exported to the grid at lower export tariff rates. USP selects and integrates the EMS as part of the overall system design, ensuring it is correctly configured for the site's specific load profile and tariff structure.

I contacted USP and within minutes had a chat with Justin who described exactly how the job would be done and provided a comprehensive quote including labour and materials and was able to start the work in just 7 days. Justin and his team were brilliant and did an amazing job. I can highly recommend USP.
Jack and Joel were absolutely amazing this morning and really put themselves out to dig a hole without having to dig another hole in my drive. More work for them but one happy customer.
From the initial quote through to work completion, Justin and his work partner were a mix of professional, knowledgeable, good-humoured, and clear in all explained (I felt an instant ease to agree to the work). The work itself was excellent and they left the place immaculate!
George and Jack come out today to move a gas meter. It wasn't a straightforward job, but they both took time to talk me through what they were doing and what the next steps are. Very friendly and polite and thought about the needs of our family.
Jack and George are great.
Bang on time, completed the work perfectly, no issues. Left the meter really neatly finished. Jack and Joel were very courteous and did a great job.
George and Jack turned up and did a first class job, very friendly and professional. Great job lads.
Jack and Joel were brilliant. Very polite, worked to my highest expectations. Left the area as clean and tidy, as was possible. And explained every step of the process to me, answering any questions I had.
Fantastic work from Jack and Johl.
