Rolec and Charge Your Car (CYC) have joined forces to offer a home and public charging package for electric vehicle drivers.

The package includes a domestic electric vehicle charging unit, and 12-month access to CYC’s network - possibly the largest in the UK and featuring more than 2,000 public facing fast and rapid charging points.

Rolec is offering the lowest priced 16amp (3.6kW) and 32amp (7.2kW) domestic EV charging units under the Government’s new grant subsidised OLEV Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme. Any 16amp (3.6kW) HomeCharge install is £185, while any 32amp (7.2kW) HomeCharge install is £195.

Kieron Alsop, Rolec EV’s managing director, said: “We are delighted to have developed a strong relationship with CYC and are confident that this will prove to be a significant step forward for the UK’s EV charging infrastructure network.

“Rolec EV has already manufactured over 22,000 domestic and commercial EV charging points and with CYC operating one of the, if not the, largest network of over 2,000 public facing charging points this new co-operation between our two companies brings together two leaders in the EV charging industry.

“This joining of forces will ultimately benefit the EV driver with a strategic deployment of thousands more publically accessible charging points operating throughout the UK on the CYC open network.”
