Five operational sites across Leicestershire

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability and cost efficiency, Leicestershire Police began transitioning part of its operational fleet to electric vehicles. The initial phase saw the introduction of four EVs, with a clear strategy in place to expand the fleet further over time.

To support this move, the force required a reliable, future-ready EV fleet charging solution that could operate efficiently across multiple sites without disrupting critical day-to-day policing activity. Pro EV was appointed to design and deliver this charging infrastructure.

Leicestershire Police set out to reduce their carbon footprint by incorporating electric vehicles into their fleet and lowering long-term fuel and transportation costs. At the same time, the force needed to ensure that vehicles could be charged efficiently across multiple locations, creating a robust foundation for ongoing electrification.

Central to the solution was Pro EV’s Charge Point Management System (CPMS). This platform gives Leicestershire Police’s transport and estates teams real-time visibility of charging activity across all sites. By capturing detailed usage data, the system enables the force to monitor charging sessions, track energy consumption, evidence CO₂ savings and accurately forecast the ongoing cost of managing an electric fleet.

Combined with the high-output 22kW chargers, the CPMS provides both operational efficiency and long-term insight.

The installation was delivered by Pro EV’s in-house commercial team, including fully trained, OZEV-accredited installers, on-site supervisors and Pro EV’s Head of Quality. The project was coordinated by the commercial project management team, ensuring work was completed safely, to specification and with minimal disruption.

Detailed planning and close coordination with local police units allowed installations to be phased carefully around operational requirements. This approach ensured that policing activity continued uninterrupted throughout the project.

The completed installation provides Leicestershire Police with a robust, efficient and cost-effective EV charging infrastructure. The solution supports the current electric fleet while providing a scalable platform for future expansion as more electric vehicles are introduced.

In addition to supporting sustainability targets, the charging infrastructure enables improved fleet management through real-time monitoring and reporting, giving the force greater control over energy usage and operational costs.

Our experienced, local and OZEV-accredited installers were key to delivering a smooth and compliant installation. This was supported by a dedicated project team who maintained high standards throughout and a strong emphasis on planning and preparation to minimise disruption across all sites.

Tom Coar, Electrical Services Manager, Leicestershire Police, commented:

“We recently had 17 EV chargers installed across our estate by Pro EV as an initial trial as we start adopting EVs as part of our fleet. The team was professional, punctual and extremely knowledgeable.

The installation process was smooth and efficient, with minimal disruption throughout. The final installation was secure, clean and clearly carried out to a high standard.

Communication throughout the project was excellent – from pre-start to completion, Pro EV showed a high level of professionalism. We’d highly recommend Pro EV to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled EV charging provider.”

Pro EV successfully delivered a fleet-ready EV charging solution for Leicestershire Police, installing seventeen Sevadis Maxi 22kW chargers across five locations within a four-week timeframe. The project has reduced emissions, lowered transport costs and laid the groundwork for ongoing fleet electrification.

With scalable infrastructure and full visibility through Pro EV’s CPMS, Leicestershire Police are now well-positioned to continue expanding their electric fleet and progress towards long-term sustainability goals with confidence.
