Naturally, lampposts are designed to blend into the background, quietly and inconspicuously illuminating everything but themselves.
But for us, they held the key to unlocking on-street EV charging, making it accessible to thousands of people without driveways. That’s where our journey began, with a single charge point in Marlow. Fast forward a few years, and we’ve gone from a bright idea to a B Corp-certified business, proving that sustainable charging and ethical business can go hand in hand.
So, what does being a B Corp actually mean?
It’s not just a fancy badge to stick on our website. Becoming a B Corp means we’ve been independently verified as a company that puts people and the planet first. We’re legally bound to consider the social and environmental impact of every decision we make, whether that’s where we install chargers, how we work with local councils, or how we treat our employees.
From Marlow to a Nationwide Network
Our first charge point in Marlow was just the beginning. Since then, we’ve expanded our network across the UK, making charging simple, fair, and reliable - especially for those who don’t have a driveway.
The goal? Reduce barriers to EV adoption. While charging at home is convenient, not everyone has that luxury. We wanted to make EV ownership viable for everyone, no matter where they live.
Why B Corp Sets Us Apart
B Corp status isn’t handed out to just anyone. It means we’ve passed rigorous standards in:
Sustainability: Our charge points are powered by renewable energy where possible.
Community Impact: We work closely with councils and local groups to get chargers where they’re needed most.
Transparency: No hidden fees, no confusing pricing, just simple, fair charging.
Accessibility: We design our services for all EV drivers, not just those with private driveways.
What’s Next?
We’re not stopping here. B Corp isn’t a “one and done” achievement, it’s a commitment to constant improvement. More chargers, smarter technology, and a bigger push to make charging fair and accessible for all.
So, the next time you plug into a char.gy charger, know that you’re supporting more than just an EV network; you’re backing a company that’s driving real, positive change.
