Hospitality & Destination
Stourbridge Glass Museum is a key cultural destination welcoming visitors from across the region. As part of wider improvements to its on-site facilities, the museum partnered with Connekt to install EV charging, supporting the growing number of visitors arriving in electric vehicles and future-proofing the site.
The museum was undertaking a major upgrade to its car park, which was in a poor state of repair. With EV adoption continuing to rise, this presented an ideal opportunity to introduce EV charging alongside the wider works.
Key considerations included:
While there were no technical challenges related to the chargers themselves, the project experienced unavoidable delays linked to external utility providers.
"Connekt provided a very smooth, quick and efficient service. We were guided clearly on the right charger solution, and their communication throughout was excellent. The team were professional, helpful, and knowledgeable, ensuring a smooth installation and strong ongoing customer support."
Connekt worked closely with Stourbridge Glass Museum to deliver a straightforward and effective EV charging solution as part of the wider car park redevelopment.
The installation included:
Connekt provided clear guidance on charger selection and specifications, ensuring the solution met the museum’s needs without unnecessary complexity. The installation was completed efficiently, with strong communication throughout the process. As part of the project, Connekt also supported Stourbridge Glass Museum through one of its bespoke funding solutions, helping to reduce upfront costs and make the installation more accessible as part of the wider car park improvements.
The EV charging installation was delivered with minimal disruption to visitors, as the car park was already closed for improvement works, which included resurfacing, lighting, CCTV, and drainage upgrades.
The result:
By partnering with Connekt, Stourbridge Glass Museum was able to integrate EV charging seamlessly into its wider car park improvements. The project supports sustainable travel, enhances the visitor experience, and ensures the site is ready for the continued growth of electric vehicles.
