ElectriX is powered by LV= General Insurance to help drivers lease, charge and insure an electric car. ElectriX has everything you need to make the switch, offering a wide range of cars to lease, with many cars available within 12 weeks, as well as home charging and electric car insurance. The website helps drivers decide whether an electric car is right for them, what it costs to own and run one, and how to charge – both at home and on the road.
Trojan Energy was formed in 2016 with one mission: to ensure everyone benefits from the energy transition.
With total focus on enabling the switch to eMobility, we developed the Trojan Electric Vehicle Charging System. A system that finally offers an equal chance for EV drivers without a driveway to charge effectively at home, while eliminating residual clutter on the pavement. A system that doesn’t require municipal authorities to zone off parking spaces and gives network operators the ability to manage power demand in real time. A system smart enough to offer a convenient way to charge that’s green, cheap, immediate – or a combination of all three – at up to 22kW. A system that delivers flat and flush chargepoints in hubs of fifteen, or single units powered by the home, to leave the streetscape uncluttered for everyone. We want to give drivers the confidence and practicality they need to go electric.
We’re doing our bit for the global effort to reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality by supporting electrification and the transition to renewable energy. We’re doing this by addressing the lack of EV charging infrastructure within the urban environment.
We’re charging towards Net-Zero.
char.gy is the most convenient way for drivers to charge an electric vehicle on their street. We utilise existing street infrastructure to provide two electric vehicle charging solutions:
• A lamppost smart charge point that fits onto existing street furniture
• A satellite bollard smart charge point for greater placement flexibility
Simple-to-use and well designed solutions for councils and parking providers to accelerate the uptake of electric vehicles for their residents and drivers.
