myenergi, the eco-smart tech manufacturer, has announced a major new partnership agreement with the NHS. Set to be rolled out across hospitals in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber, the collaboration with NHS Humber Health Partnership will offer employees a significant discount when purchasing a zappi EV charger.
Working alongside wider sustainability initiatives to decarbonise national operations and reduce energy consumption, the agreement will help to accelerate the NHS’s transition to electrification, while also providing a smart, reliable, future-proof solution to enable staff to charge at home.
Designed and manufactured at myenergi’s state-of-the-art facilities in Stallingborough, Lincolnshire, zappi is a smart charger with a difference. As well as being fully grid-compatible as standard, it also has optional charging modes capable of utilising 100% green energy generated by consumers’ own renewable power. This means that drivers can effectively charge their EVs at home for free – zero fossil fuels, zero reliance on the grid.
Paired with the myenergi app, drivers can set timers to take advantage of economy tariffs, use the boost function and monitor multiple devices. Installed at hundreds of thousands of homes all over the world, zappi is widely considered one of the market’s smartest EV chargers and receives glowing reviews from customers.
Jordan Brompton, co-founder and CMO commented: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the NHS to help accelerate the organisation’s progress towards net zero. Offering our latest technology at a discounted rate will not only make the transition to electrification easier than ever before for countless members of staff, but also make their daily running costs far cheaper and their commuting footprint even greener.
“With around 80% of all EV charging said to take place on the driveway, it’s important to have a reliable charger – like zappi – that’s not just suitable for charging today, but fit for the future too. Home charging is cheap, convenient and by far the simplest way to keep your EV charged up and ready for the day ahead.”
The NHS is one of the largest employers in Britain and is responsible for approximately 4-5% of the UK’s total carbon footprint. In October 2020, the NHS became the world’s first health service to commit to reaching carbon net zero.
Simon Nearney, group chief people officer at NHS Humber Health Partnership, added: “With myenergi headquartered just down the road in Stallingborough, we’re pleased to be working in close collaboration to offer our staff the benefit of discounted purchase and installation rates on zappi EV chargers.
“We have a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, placing social and environmental responsibilities at the core of decision-making and healthcare services in order to make a real difference to the patients and communities we serve.”
“As part of our commitment to reducing or carbon footprint we’re encouraging staff to make the move to electric. We know from feedback that one of the main barriers to this is the high cost of the chargers. This new partnership with myenergi will provide a cost effective solution and help more of our team make the switch to electrification.”
