Powering Horsham Rugby Club: EVC Charging with PE

As the world embraces a greener, more sustainable future, Horsham RUFC (HRUFC) is leading by example. Thanks to a recent partnership with PE, the club has installed electric vehicle (EV) chargers, making it more accessible to environmentally conscious visitors while promoting sustainability throughout the community.

HRUFC has always been at the forefront of community development, and this latest enhancement is no exception. Richard Ordidge, Chairman of the club and a member for nearly 50 years, shared the club’s exciting journey of continuous improvement. In recent years, HRUFC has invested in new facilities, including:

• A state-of-the-art, RFU-funded 3G pitch to provide an excellent playing surface all year round
• An expanded changing room block, with two additional changing rooms added last year to support the growing popularity of the women’s game
• A complete transformation of the clubhouse interior, making it a welcoming space for players, members, and guests alike

However, the most recent development has been the installation of EV chargers, a project made possible through PE. This eco-friendly addition supports the increasing demand for electric vehicle charging in the community and demonstrates HRUFC’s commitment to sustainability.

The PE EV Charging Initiative

PE has been a key player in bringing accessible, easy-to-use EV charging infrastructure to businesses, clubs, and local communities across the UK. Through their initiative, HRUFC was able to install tap-and-go EV chargers with no upfront costs for groundworks or installation. This seamless solution not only benefits club members but also attracts new visitors who come to the club specifically to charge their vehicles.

The EV chargers are designed to be user-friendly, requiring no app or sign-up. Users simply tap their payment method and start charging. This simplicity encourages more people to switch to electric vehicles, knowing that charging is accessible and straightforward.

For HRUFC, the benefits are clear:

• Increased footfall: People who might not have otherwise visited the club are now stopping by to charge their vehicles, boosting the club’s visibility and community engagement.
• No financial burden: The installation and groundworks for the EV chargers came at no cost to the club, making this an affordable and impactful way to contribute to a greener future.

The installation of EV chargers aligns perfectly with HRUFC’s mission to foster a thriving community space while embracing sustainable practices. With the UK’s push towards reducing carbon emissions and encouraging electric vehicle adoption, projects like this make a real difference.

Not only does this partnership help reduce the club’s environmental footprint, but it also sets an example for other local organisations and businesses to follow. Sustainable infrastructure like EV chargers is quickly becoming a necessity, and HRUFC is showing how to lead the way.
