Fernham Homes, a leading UK based new homebuilder, recently approached Brim with a request: they needed EV chargers installed at their Head Office car park in West Malling, Kent. Their goal was to equip a selected number of parking spaces with reliable charging facilities for their staff.

We installed 27 of our 7.4kWh chargers in their private car park, ensuring easy and efficient access for employees driving electric vehicles.

Alongside the installation, Fernham Homes had another important requirement — they needed a way to manage charging payments while maintaining anonymity for their staff. That’s where Brim’s Community Charging service came in.

Our Community Charging platform is a cloud-based platform that allows site owners to:

Set flexible charging fees based on real-time energy rates
Adjust pricing, ensuring prices remain fair and reflective of current cost
Allows site owners the flexibility to decide how much profit they wish to make from the service
Provide a seamless, cashless payment experience for users

For Fernham Homes, it’s simple: staff use the MyBrim app or an online portal to create an account, pre-pay for charging, and then plug in and go. Meanwhile, Fernham Homes earns commission from each charging session automatically.

Each month, we provide Fernham Homes with a detailed invoice showing their earnings — including a full breakdown of who charged, when, and where.

Our seamless billing solution gives charger owners, property developers and homebuilders the choice to either recover energy costs or to generate additional commission, making it an easy and efficient way to “rent out” chargers.
