We are excited to announce that char.gy has secured a landmark contract to partner with Richmond and Wandsworth Councils. In an industry first, char.gy was chosen for our technical expertise to migrate 950 existing on-street charge points into our network, growing it in size by a third. Richmond and Wandsworth Councils, pioneers in the rollout of extensive on-street charging networks, launched a competitive procurement process for network operators to manage the existing infrastructure following the conclusion of their contracts under GULCS. This new and unique capability has enabled char.gy to demonstrate a valuable third option for councils nearing the end of a contract. Councils can now opt for migration instead of renewing and replacing their existing infrastructure, saving time and costs, ensuring service continuity for drivers, and fostering a marketplace that promotes higher service quality. John Lewis, CEO of char.gy, commented, “We are proud to have been chosen by Richmond and Wandsworth councils as a partner to serve EV drivers across these London boroughs. This is an industry first, and it represents a crucial development in the way EV infrastructure can be rolled out. It offers councils a greater degree of choice in their partnerships with private companies, bringing healthy competition to the market, which ultimately encourages operators to provide the best service possible to both councils and EV drivers.” We are pleased to expand our presence in London and bring convenient, reliable, and affordable charging services to the residents of Richmond and Wandsworth.

We had a fantastic afternoon at the Cost of Driving Electric UK! If you couldn’t make it, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered with our key takeaways. 🔑 1. The ZEV mandate and reduced Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rates are proving effective, delivering real value for motorists ➡️ If it’s working, don’t fix it - the bottom line is that the government should maintain its support. 2. However, the cost of public charging can eat into potential savings. A smoother transition to EVs depends on keeping electricity costs low. Cut the wholesale costs or cut VAT.... ➡️ The government should step in to make public charging more affordable. 3. While many drivers are saving money by driving an EV vs an ICE equivalent, expanding access to home charging is important to encourage even greater demand for EVs. ➡️ The government should prioritise making home charging more accessible. Discounts for home chargers?

Happy National Pokémon Day! Let us tell you the story of Pikachu... ⚡️ Like Pikachu, some of us start out a little stubborn about change... At first, Pikachu didn’t trust Ash, it's trainer - just like some drivers don't trust the transition to EVs. But over time, Pikachu formed an unbreakable bond with its trainer, Ash, just as more drivers are forming an unbreakable bond to their EV and vow never to go back 🚗💨 Despite many chances to evolve into Raichu (aka buying another petrol car), Pikachu stayed true to itself - because electricity was always in its nature ⚡ So if Pikachu were picking a ride today, you know it’d be electric! 🔌💚 #GottaChargeEmAll #EV #NationalPokemonDay #DriveElectric #Pikachu #ElectricVehicles
