Electric vehicle (EV) charge point manufacturer Rolec EV has entered a strategic partnership with end-to-end charging firm Wattif EV to offer customers a hardware solution with accessible funding options.

The news means Wattif EV will make two funding options available to Rolec EV customers: a turnkey solution, including hardware, charge point installation, maintenance and software; and a joint venture option where Watiff EV shares the upfront capital cost – and takes responsibility for installation, maintenance and software – but revenue is shared equally with the customer.

It follows funding of €50M to Wattif EV from a Pan-European investment fund to underpin their strategy. The new collaboration aims for “greater accessibility for landowners” to install EV charging on their property – and provides Wattif EV with a more diverse range of chargepoint hardware.

Frankie Mellon, Sales Director at Rolec EV, said: “We are delighted to announce that Rolec EV’s hardware has been approved to support the rollout of Wattif EV’s network throughout the UK and Ireland.

“As approved chargepoint supplier for Wattif EV, Rolec EV will provide a comprehensive range of funded charging solutions to be integrated with Wattif’s software, allowing Wattif EV to provide a fully turnkey solution to customers.

“Our collaboration with Wattif EV means that Rolec EV will now be able to provide a variety of funding options to our customer base, with a focus on making the adoption of electric vehicle infrastructure more accessible to the wider market.”

Steve Rees, Wattif Managing Director for the UK & Ireland, said: “Rolec’s smart EV charging hardware, combined with Wattif’s turnkey solution and funding options, is the perfect solution to enable everyone to install and operate EV charging in their car park.

“Improvements to charging infrastructure and access to charge points play a key role in EV adoption, the elimination of range anxiety and the achievement of legislative targets for 2030.  Wattif EV UK is keen to address the EV charging demands across all sectors. Together as Rolec’s approved funding provider, I know we have a very convincing proposition for both new and existing installations to be managed on smart charging networks. 

“This partnership for Wattif EV provides Rolec clients and installers with turnkey funding models to help them on their route to net zero and transition to electric vehicle adoption.”
