Rolec and Connekt are on a joint mission of providing infrastructure to the most underserved sector of the UK electric vehicle charging market – championing EV uptake in the destination charging sector. Sites are falling short of their EV charging potential. Of the nearly 70,000 potential locations for destination charging throughout the UK, less than 1% have committed to installing chargers.
The partnership combines Rolec’s technology with Connekt’s funding, sector expertise, and local presence to best aid in the deployment of charging at locations such as hotels, universities, marinas, leisure sites nationwide. And the work has already begun. So far, the team has installed multiple EV charging networks, with commitments to carry out work on many additional sites in the coming year.
A Scottish-based electric vehicle charging funder, Connekt’s experienced team of on-the-ground staff are actively surveying sites to provide the best advice and guidance to customers introducing EV charging as part of their business. Rolec’s expansive network of installers allows customers access to rapid EV infrastructure deployment and efficient installation and maintenance services combined with knowledgeable staff providing local technical support.
Speaking on the partnership, Johnny Manning, Founder of Connekt, commented: ‘At Connekt, we see a real synergy with Rolec. Over the past three to four years, we’ve been on an incredible journey building the foundations of a leading charge point operator – defined by market-leading support, reliability, and the highest standards. Rolec has been on a parallel journey, and they’ve emerged as one of the true market leaders in the EV charging industry.”
Darren North, National Sales Manager at Rolec, added: “We are thrilled to be partnering with such a forward-thinking company to take on a major rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure across the UK. By working closely with the Connekt team, and Connor Charnley, after many years as industry friends, we will be able to bring our combined expertise to a sector with immense potential.”
