Our Joju Charging team is working with many public sector organisations who are transitioning their fleets to either plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), or a combination of the two.
Electric Benefits
Running and maintenance costs for electric vehicles are lower than for internal combustion engine vehicles. From hybrid fire engines, EV police cars and other emergency response vehicles, to councils deploying electric vans, buses and waste trucks, the estimated fuel-savings alone can run into tens of thousands of pounds every year. These are funds that can be redirected into other frontline services. On top of that, improved air quality, contribution to Net Zero targets, operational efficiencies, and investment in a sustainable future makes electrifying public sector fleets essential.
A Smooth Transition
A seamless shift to electric vehicles requires robust, reliable EV charging and an experienced team. That’s where Joju Charging excels. We’re one of the UK’s most trusted partners for fleet EV Charging. We’ve worked with over 100 Councils and public sector bodies over the past 8 years, providing infrastructure for all kinds of EVs to be charged and kept on the move. We’ve even designed and installed the first microgrid solution for a UK Police Service Fleet – Avon and Somerset Police.
Whatever your requirements, from planning to grid connection, supply and installation of EV charge points, and ongoing maintenance, we’ll be with you every step (and charge!) of the way.
Feasibility and Design
Fleet EV charge points can often be installed where the vehicles are parked when not in use. We’ll carry out a full feasibility study to determine whether sufficient capacity exists on existing electricity supplies, or whether new supplies are required.
From here, we’ll design a robust charging solution that works for your individual requirements and has the capacity to grow over time, as more of your fleet is fuelled by electricity. We can undertake grid connection applications, help apply for government funding (when available), and explore other funding options and when it comes to installation, health and safety is always at the heart of everything we do… on site and beyond.
“Fantastic milestone — congratulations to Joju and partners. Proud to have led this project, delivering three depot installations and accelerating electrification across our estate. A genuinely transformational step forward for resilient fleet operations, delivered through strong collaboration. ”
“Joju have been a joy to deal with. They have guided us expertly, but have let us choose the pathways we wanted to follow regarding funding, placement of units and the best locations to site the units. Thank you Joju."
“The Joju team have done extremely well in matching our expectations and maintaining the tempo we’re moving at and this has resulted in us achieving great things together. The whole project is a huge achievement, and we want to say a huge thank you to Joju Charging. The pioneering infrastructure improvements are pivotal in the Council’s efforts to create a greener borough, where air quality is improved and streets are more welcoming for all.”
Electric waste trucks, cage tippers, buses, and community vehicles... just some of the EVs we designed and delivered charging Infrastructure for when we partnered with Islington Council to upgrade their Waste Recycling Centre (WRC), and other sites too.
Power needed to be increased to the WRC to enable full infrastructure roll-out, and space was very limited. With the WRC being located in a basement area, wifi connectivity was also a challenge.

What a milestone it was and our team relished it!
Highlights of some of our public sector fleet projects, with more stories incoming
Electric Vehicles are certainly helping Avon and Somerset Fire and Rescue reach their environmental strategy targets. We’re delighted to contribute, with EV charging Infrastructure turning bluelight green!
Our EV Charging Infrastructure partnership with Wiltshire Council now includes Vehicle to Grid technology, enabling smarter energy use, increasing efficiency and reducing operational costs.
Avon and Somerset Police has become the first UK police force to use innovative micro-grid technology to support the future electrification of its fleet. It’s been exciting to design and install it.
We’re helping South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue with their fleet decarbonsiation programme, installing EV charging to ensure senior staff’s operational vehicles are always charged and ready to go!
