Welcome to EValu8
EValu8 Transport Innovations Ltd runs the Government-supported Plugged In Places project for electric vehicle charging in the East of England.
About the company
EValu8 Transport Innovations Ltd works on practical ways to make electric driving easier for people and businesses.
Our approach
We test charging technology, planning and operation in real places before recommending it more widely. Our work focuses on evidence gathered from live use rather than theory alone.
Every project starts with local need: where drivers park, where journeys begin and end, and where demand is likely to grow over the coming years.
How the work unfolds
Phase one
Mapping demand
We review local journeys, parking patterns and existing grid capacity to identify suitable sites.
Phase two
Installing and testing
Chargers are installed with partners and monitored for reliability, speed of use and user experience.
Phase three
Sharing results
Findings are published so councils, operators and communities can apply what has been learned.
Working with councils and operators
The Plugged In Places project brings together local authorities, charge point operators and transport bodies across the region.
- Shared site selection with local planning teams
- Joint reporting on charger use and availability
- Clear guidance for residents and fleet managers
How we measure progress
We record how often chargers are available and working, and how quickly faults are reported and resolved.
We look at how often sites are used, at what times, and whether usage matches the original plan.
Surveys and open sessions help us understand what residents need from charging in their area.
