VCHRGD has announced the next phase of its evolution, from a successful charging hardware business into an integrated charging technology company.
This next phase comes after achieving 200% year-on-year growth, reaching profitability in 2026 and completing a successful funding round.
Launched in 2021, VCHRGD has established itself as one of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses in the EV charging sector, evolving to become an integrated platform that combines connected charging technology, intelligent software, energy partnerships and specialist support services, driven by an ambition to make EV charging easier for installers, wholesalers, fleets, workplaces and homeowners alike.
VCHRGD’s success to date has been built through long-term partnerships across the electrical, fleet and energy sectors.
Those partnerships extend across charge point management providers, fleets, leasing brokers, vehicle manufacturers and a network of installers and wholesalers, creating an ecosystem that enables partners to secure more business while delivering a better customer experience.
While connected charging technology remains at the heart of the business, VCHRGD’s next phase of growth is focused on expanding the value it delivers beyond the charger itself.
Recent investment will accelerate the development of connected software and value-added services that complement the company’s hardware and partner ecosystem. The first example of this is the introduction of grid flexibility services, due to launch in Q3 2026, which will intelligently adjust charging based on grid demand, helping customers reduce charging costs while creating new recurring revenue opportunities for the business.
That broader proposition is also reflected in how VCHRGD is taking its technology to market. Having successfully built the business through installers and wholesalers, the company is now preparing to launch its direct-to-consumer proposition, giving homeowners the ability to purchase a complete charging solution directly from VCHRGD while continuing to strengthen its established trade partner network.
Fraser Koefman, commercial director, said: “Everything we’ve achieved has been built alongside our partners – that’s installers and wholesalers in particular. We’ve worked hard to build a proposition that’s reliable, commercially appealing and properly supported, and that’s reflected in the relationships we’ve developed across the industry. As we expand our technology, software and service capabilities, that commitment to our partners will remain at the heart of everything we do.”
