Partnering with char.gy
Consultation
We work closely with local government partners to understand their goals, priorities, and long-term plans. Using our experience in delivering residential charging infrastructure, we create practical and flexible solutions tailored to each area. This collaborative approach ensures we make the best use of LEVI public funding alongside private sector investment.
Demand Planning
Deciding where to install charge points, when to install them, and how many are needed is complex. Getting demand planning right is essential to making projects viable. We use our own technology platform and in-house data experts to accurately forecast future EV demand, right down to postcode level.
This insight gives us the confidence to invest in projects and expand our network. It also allows us to install more charge points across more streets, including in underserved and hard-to-reach areas, helping ensure fair access to charging for everyone, everywhere.
Investment Case Development
A strong investment case requires both parties need to consider the commercial and community impacts of the project, as well as the contract. We work closely with local governments to shape a project that works for everyone, supported by indepth commercial modelling that encourages high performance, long-term stability, and lasting value.
Deploy and Operate
Once the concession starts, char.gy takes on the technology and revenue risk, installing, operating, and maintaining the public charging network on behalf of the partnership. We have extensive experience delivering on-street charging at scale, with established processes, dedicated in-house teams, and a strong track record of reliable deployment across the UK.
While our service is delivered against agreed KPIs, our focus on quality is driven by our operational experience and our commitment to being the preferred charging provider for drivers. We design and run our network around convenience, reliability, and value for money, and we continuously apply lessons learned from real-world delivery to improve performance over time.
