As the UK accelerates towards its net zero goals, demand for reliable and scalable electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is growing faster than ever. For councils, local authorities, and installers, choosing UK-made EV chargers is more than just a procurement decision. It’s an investment in quality, compliance, and sustainability.

At trueCharge, we design and manufacture EV chargers right here in Britain, helping our partners deliver that is compliant, sustainable, and built for long-term performance.

1. Built for British Standards and Regulations

EV infrastructure must meet strict safety and accessibility requirements. By choosing UK-manufactured chargers from trueCharge, councils and installers can be confident that the hardware is fully aligned with local regulations, including:
