We install public EV charging infrastructure for retail parks, leisure centres, car parks, and visitor destinations across the UK. A complete turnkey service with flexible funding options. Fund it yourself and own 100 percent, or go fully funded through EV-ME with zero upfront cost.
A new public charger goes live every 33 minutes. The ratio of EVs to chargers still sits at 17 to 1. The UK has over 86,000 public chargers and demand keeps growing faster than supply. Sites with public charging attract EV drivers. Sites without lose them to competitors.
49 percent of UK chargers are destination chargers at retail, leisure and hospitality venues. EV drivers plan journeys around charging availability, dwell time increases when charging is available, and a single well placed charger can generate over £14,000 in annual revenue.
Destination charging serves drivers at places they already visit: shopping centres, leisure facilities, tourist attractions, and public car parks. Unlike motorway rapid chargers, destination chargers work while people shop, exercise, eat, or explore. Drivers arrive, plug in, and go about their day.
The gap between what drivers need and what is available keeps widening. Retail parks, leisure venues, and car park operators with charging infrastructure gain a competitive advantage, and the funding model is yours to choose.
We specialise in EV charging for businesses. Practical expertise, turnkey delivery from design to completion, and management that does not stop at handover.

Four reasons it pays to install
Demand keeps growing faster than supply, and destination venues are where drivers want to charge. Four reasons it pays to install now.
EV drivers plan journeys around charging availability and actively choose destinations where they can charge. A retail park with chargers pulls in drivers who might otherwise go to a competitor.
Charging visitors stay longer. A Savills and Pod Point case study across 29 UK retail sites found visitors using chargers stayed 1.5 to 2 hours against under an hour for a typical visit.
A well placed public charger can generate over £14,000 per year. Car park operators turn underused spaces into an active revenue stream, funded by us or owned outright.
The EV-ME fully funded model covers hardware, installation, grid connection, insurance and support. You provide the site, we share the revenue, and your capital stays in your business.
No direct government grants exist for commercial public chargepoints, so the funding route is the real decision. We work all three, run the numbers for your site at survey, and you decide. Where staff and company vehicles also charge on site, the Workplace Charging Scheme can still contribute £500 per socket.
You fund the installation and keep 100 percent of the charging revenue. We design, install and maintain the network, and you hold the asset. The strongest return for high footfall sites.
Spread the cost over fixed monthly payments and keep the charging revenue. No capital outlay at the start, the equipment is maintained through the term, and ownership options apply at the end.
We fund the hardware, installation, grid connection, insurance and support. You provide the site and take a share of the revenue from day one. Your capital stays in your business.
When the BP Pulse units at Jockey Lane failed, Cranbrook and Sissinghurst Parish Council needed working chargers without capital spend. We replaced the network under the EV-ME model: four AC bays, one rapid DC charger, contactless payment on every unit, and the utility supply taken over. The council paid nothing upfront, and we handle every driver query.
Two Rolec Hex 22kW dual units covering four AC bays, plus one 40kW rapid DC charger. Contactless terminals on every unit.
EV-ME funded the hardware, installation and supply takeover. The council shares the revenue and we operate everything.
Electrical capacity assessment, optimal charge point placement for visitor convenience, planning review, and a commercial model discussion with revenue projections for your location.
We manage DNO applications, grid connection upgrades where required, any planning requirements (rarely needed since May 2025), and landlord or freeholder approvals if applicable.
Our own engineers install the distribution, load management and charge points with public access controls, coordinated around opening hours and visitor patterns.
Complete electrical testing and certification, charge point commissioning and public activation, staff training on the management platform, signage and wayfinding.
Our cloud based platform runs in the background. We monitor charger health 24/7, and if a unit goes offline we know before you do. You receive quarterly reports with full transparency on usage and revenue.
Drivers tap their card and charge. No app required, no subscription. Pricing displays before charging starts, receipts are emailed automatically, and revenue transfers to your account with full reconciliation.
Manage who can charge, when, and at what rate. Set different tariffs for public users, members, or staff, by contactless, app or QR code.
We watch every charger around the clock. Remote diagnostics resolve most issues immediately, and our own engineers handle maintenance and annual safety checks for the life of the system.

“From the initial consultation to the final installation, their team showed remarkable professionalism, efficient project management, and clear communication throughout. The speed and attention to detail with which they executed the project were truly impressive.”
George Sears The Hospice of St Francis “The finished installation looks fantastic and you would not know the car park had been touched. More residents have come on board since and the whole system has been straightforward from the start. We would highly recommend evon.”Malcolm Glover Hill Court, Highgate 4 days to install 24 chargers across one residents car park
£0 capital outlay for a fully funded rapid charging site Cranbrook and Sissinghurst Parish Council Small installations of 5 to 10 chargers run £25,000 to £50,000, larger sites £100,000 plus. With the EV-ME fully funded model, upfront costs are zero.
An operator funds the entire installation and manages everything. You provide the site and receive a share of the revenue. Zero capital outlay, income from day one.
A well placed public charger can generate £14,000 or more per year, and retail sites with high footfall often exceed it. We provide projections for your site at proposal stage.
Yes. A Savills and Pod Point case study across 29 UK retail sites found visitors using chargers stayed up to 50% longer, 1.5 to 2 hours against under an hour.
Contactless as standard. Drivers tap their bank card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, pricing displays in pence per kWh before the session, and receipts are emailed automatically.
Fast chargers at 7 to 22kW suit venues where visitors stay two hours or more. Rapid chargers at 50kW plus add around 100 miles in 30 minutes for high turnover sites. Most venues want a mix.
Typically 6 to 12 weeks from approved design to commissioning. Complex sites with DNO upgrades take longer. We coordinate around your operations throughout.
Own outright and keep 100 percent of revenue, go fully funded for zero upfront cost, or own the hardware while an operator manages it. We compare all three for your site.
