EVC rebrands as Roam

Destination charging solutions for electric vehicles EVC has announced its rebrand to Roam.

The new brand embodies the company’s vision of “enabling drivers to ‘roam’ freely”, and “instilling confidence that drivers can leave behind concerns around ‘range anxiety'” and have access to a reliable EV charging network, it said.

Roam’s national rebrand across their EV charging network begins this week, with the first four locations confirmed as Forge Retail Park in Stourbridge, Tweedmill Shopping Outlet in Saint Asaph, Hilton Hotel in Leicester and Chartham Park Golf & Country Club in West Sussex. All remaining EV chargers will be rebranded throughout 2025.

The official rebranding of Roam’s website and app takes place today (26 November). Existing registered users will be able to continue to enjoy the benefits Roam offers through their existing accounts with no need to change or update their details.

The change reflects Roam’s broader ambitions for 2025, including European expansion and rolling out the next stage of its £165m commitment, which was announced last year.

This includes plans to install 100,000 fast and rapid EV chargers across hospitality, workplaces, multi-dwelling residentials, leisure and retail sectors.

Since Roam started in 2020, it has worked with more than 14 national hotel groups including Hilton Hotels and Macdonald Hotels & Resorts, as well as sporting organisations including The Professional Golfers Association and workspace clients like BizSpace.

Roam has a strong presence in the residential sector, specialising in EV chargers for multi-dwelling apartment buildings. It is set to accelerate its expansion in this space in both the UK and Europe in 2025, with current clients including Galliard Homes, Ballymore and Battersea Power Station.

Roam’s CEO, James Randall, said:

“Our mission has always been to provide convenient and hassle-free EV charging at destinations where drivers need them most, and this remains at the heart of everything we do at Roam.

“Our newly energised identity reflects our growth, our values, and our dedication to empowering cleaner, greener communities and accelerating access to an electric future.”

“As Roam prepares to expand its reach and bring charging solutions to an even greater number of destinations, our new identity signals our commitment to enable drivers to have an effortless charging experience that fits around their day to day, without the need for detours.”
