A new partnership has been established between waEV and Volta Charge Points to supply home charging solutions in the UK. The agreement will see manufacturer waEV supply charge point solutions through Volta’s wholesale network and online channels, for homes, businesses, and fleets across the UK.
This follows the announcement by the government in May that most homeowners, businesses and public premises will no longer need to submit planning applications for either private or public EV charger installations. This is expected to fuel further demand for EV home charging points, with EV infrastructure in new housing now a fast-growing expectation.
The introduction of waEV’s EV1s untethered and EV1i tethered chargers into its portfolio boosts Volta’s offering. The waEV systems are said to be reliable and easy to install.
Smart, compliant, future-proof, and engineered for reliability, waEV’s EV1S and EV1i models both support 7.4kW single-phase charging and a built-in Type 2 charging cable. They also support WiFi and optional Bluetooth and smart app integration via EV.Energy that monitors usage and connects to off-peak tariffs as well as PEN Fault Detection compliant with BS 7671 wiring regulations and the potential for solar PV integration.
With no earth rod required, WaEV’s chargers eliminate groundwork, making them ideal for quick installations on new builds. Each unit is also designed for efficient setup by certified professionals, with dynamic load balancing and built-in PEN protection.
This collaboration comes at a time when demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure continues to rise, with the electrical trade playing a crucial role in meeting the UK’s net zero ambitions.
