A new partnership between a North East utilities specialist, Consultiv Utilities, and Swift Charging, a specialist company in commercial EV charging, has been announced. The new agreement will see the two businesses collaborate to support organisations with efficient and cost-effective implementation of workplace EVs. Customers will also gain assistance in accessing government grants covering up to 75% of installation costs, depending on eligibility. 

The partnership hopes to enable more UK companies to install chargers on their premises and provide employers with the infrastructure necessary for the transition away from traditional combustion engines. In addition to design and installation aid, businesses will also receive ongoing assistance through 24/7 monitoring and maintenance. 

Speaking on the announcement of the new agreement, Consultiv Utilities’ Growth Director,

Nathan Cumiskey, said, “This exciting new partnership provides our customers to the expertise of one of the UK’s leading EV charging specialists alongside our own market-leading energy solutions. With

grant funding of up to 75% is still available for organisations, now is the ideal time for businesses to invest in charging points and support the UK’s transition away from combustion engines.”

Ash Tomlinson, Head of EV & Commercial Projects for Swift Charging, added, “We are delighted to be working in partnership with Consultiv Utilities and their customers around the UK from a range of different industries and sectors. Together, we want to make it easy for companies to implement the infrastructure necessary to support the growing number of EVs on the road.”

Electric vehicles are one of the most important new technologies for the green transition. However, a vehicle alone is not enough. The required infrastructure around charging is a must. This partnership will provide the steps for inducing greater EV use for UK businesses.
