EVC, a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charge points and infrastructure, has joined forces with CTEK to meet the rising demand for EV charging in the UK.

CTEK will support EVC on a new programme involving the installation of free EV charge points to the residential and commercial sector.

CTEK Energy and Facilities global director Cecilia Routledge said: “We are absolutely delighted to be working with EVC on this exciting project.

“We have a proven track for the successful delivery of EVSE products and solutions in markets across Europe, and together with EVC, we are looking forward to bringing our expertise to this ground-breaking approach to EV charging.

Backed by renewable energy investment group Oasthouse Ventures, EVC plans to install nearly 100,000 EV charge points across the UK, enabling strategic EV charging access to all sectors for free.

Under the five-year partnership, CTEK will supply EV charging equipment, scalable load balancing solutions and associated EV management software to EVC.

CTEK explained that its solution is centred around its Chargestorm Connected wallbox and is equipped with its Nanogrid load-balancing solution.
