Rolec and Connekt have announced they are on “a parallel growth journey” with a joint mission of providing infrastructure to the destination charging sector.
The companies said that “sites are falling short of EV charging potential”, highlighting that 70,000 potential locations for destination charging, only 1% have committed to installing chargers.
Rolec and Connekt said they will remove financial barriers to chargepoint adoption, in order to give “businesses the confidence to push forward with their electrification goals”.
Flexible funding and installation options, UK-based manufacturing and reliable EV infrastructure delivery will provide businesses with “all the tools needed to take the most effective steps”, the companies added.
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. The firm creates solutions that cover funding, installation, maintenance, and energy-saving strategies.
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. As a UK-based manufacturer, Rolec also has unique control over product design and supply, directly implementing customer feedback through hardware or software updates in real-time and feeding this back into your charging network, it said.
So far Rolec and Connekt have installed multiple EV charging networks, with commitments to carry out work on many additional sites in the coming year, they added.
Johnny Manning, Founder of Connekt, said:
“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. What really sets this partnership apart is the personal relationships and bonds we’ve built between our teams—there’s a genuine trust and alignment that makes this collaboration different.
“It feels like a natural fit, almost a match made in heaven. Together, we’re bringing something unique to the market with our funded solutions, giving Rolec clients an opportunity to unlock EV charging infrastructure in a way that is both commercially viable and future-proof.”
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.
“Together we will utilise our full range of commercial EV solutions to meet the variety of needs present in the destination charging sector and provide options to fit the entire spectrum of charging speeds and space requirements.”
