Positive outcome(s) of project:

None measured so far.

CO2 savings per year:

Unknown. There will be a new sustainablity manager recruited this year and part of their role will be to look at this area.

Description:

To provide electric car sockets in the hospital car park for staff to use. This idea is part of a wider project to encourage staff to use alternative forms of transport, especially after the hospital location was included in the congestion charging zone.

Location:

Main hospital site, 369 Fulham Road SW10 9NH

Reasons for project:

Green Issues. To keep staff happy as more were considering electric cars.

Partner:

Internal contractors for parts of the project process from sourcing the sockets, to the installations and any ongoing maintenance.

Follow-up plan:

If take up begins to increase, we would look at installing another couple of sockets.

Start date: 05/01/2009

Implementation costs: £5K

Barriers in project implementation:

Had to address the issue of dedicating 4 parking bays to electric sockets, and therefore loosing traditional car parking spaces. We are still facing the issue that we cannot afford to have them empty.
