About EDRI
E.ON Drive Infrastructure UK (EDRI) is part of E.ON’s European EV charging network. The business develops and operates public electric vehicle charging infrastructure across multiple countries. They manage the full process from site identification and grid connection through to installation and ongoing operation, supporting EV drivers, fleet operators and local authorities across Europe.
The Challenge
A benefit that aligned with the business, without the financial risk.
As a company deeply embedded in the EV ecosystem, offering electric cars as an employee benefit aligned with EDRI's sustainability goals. But beyond that, they wanted a scheme that would improve their employee offering, stay low effort to run, and remain low risk for the business.
Like many employers, EDRI initially questioned whether a salary sacrifice scheme could "blow a hole in the finances." The business needed reassurance that the scheme would work in practice without creating unexpected cost or admin.
Why they chose EZOO
From the outset, EDRI wanted a partner who felt approachable, responsive and easy to work with. EZOO's smaller, more personal team approach stood out. "We liked the smaller and more personal team approach."

How the Scheme Was Introduced
Refreshingly straightforward
Setting up the scheme was described as "refreshingly straightforward." EZOO managed most of the technical setup, offering clear guidance to EDRI's HR and payroll teams and ensuring integration with existing systems.
Minimal admin for the team
With the practical work handled by EZOO, the rollout required minimal internal effort. Ideal for a small UK team that needed the scheme to run without adding to the day to day workload.
Scheme ready with minimal ongoing input
Once implemented, the scheme was ready to run. No structural changes to payroll or HR systems, and no ongoing complexity for the business.
