EV charging company Easee has partnered with installer EVX Charging Solutions to deploy more than 90 electric vehicle chargers across 13 schools in the Oxford Diocesan Bucks Schools Trust (ODBST).
At Chiltern Hills Academy, 16 Easee chargers have already been installed to support staff, visitors and the school’s incoming electric minibus.
The initiative has been made possible through the UK Government’s Workplace Charging Scheme for state-funded education institutions, which covers the cost of purchasing and installing EV charge points. Easee and EVX Charging Solutions are working jointly to help schools navigate the application process and unlock available funding.
Ella Swinhoe, Sustainability Lead at the ODBST, said: “This project supports our ambition to improve sustainability across our schools while also delivering practical benefits for staff and communities. At ODBST, sustainability is a clear priority, and the rollout of EV chargers is another positive step in helping people make greener, more sustainable choices.”
Through the Workplace Charging Scheme, state-funded schools can reduce the cost of upgrading their EV infrastructure.
