Fleets are at the forefront of the biggest transition in automotive history. The UK’s population of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles doubled, to more than 900,000 cars and vans, in the 18 months to June 2022, and over half of them are company owned.
With petrol and diesel engines steadily being phased out in the run-up to 2035, and fleets typically operating the newest vehicles on the road, electricity is set to become an increasingly common fuel over the next decade. In turn, fleet managers face a much wider range of ‘refuelling’ options as vehicles are plugged in at home, work and on the road.
Electrification also isn’t happening in isolation. It’s an integral component of businesses’ sustainability targets in an environment that’s also adapting to remote working and decentralised teams, and where fleet management is often shared with other roles. In a fast-moving environment, finding the right support is vital.
Founded in 2012, EV Connectors was the UK’s first online store for charging solutions, with a product range spanning from motorcycles to marine. We’ve spent a decade helping businesses to get the most out of going electric, becoming a trusted supplier for private, public sector and retail customer-facing companies.
“From sole traders to the UK’s largest fleets, there’s a real need to ensure charging doesn’t become an additional burden for an already-stretched role.
“By working with us, fleet managers are benefitting from industry-leading experience, backed by an extensive choice of products and services that take the hassle out of going electric and make the technology work for them.”
Vivienne Kerry, business development manager at EV Connectors
Our expert team works with fleet managers to develop a flexible, cost-effective solution that outsources their charging requirements, leaving them to focus on keeping their business and vehicles moving. It’s a service that’s been proven with the country’s largest operators, and provides:
- Knowledge: With unrivalled, hands-on experience of the potential challenges fleet managers face, and how to solve them, we unpick the jargon and guide fleet managers towards a charging solution tailored to their business’s unique needs.
- Convenience: We take care of customers’ logistics, stocking a large choice of cables, wallboxes and accessories with overnight delivery (UK mainland only) directly to drivers. It provides a central supplier, and removes the need for fleets to handle their own stock.
- Value: Our premium cables are designed for professionals; durable, often cheaper than manufacturer-supplied accessories and with a choice of lengths – including custom-made. They also include a two-year warranty and aftersales support.

From sole traders to the UK’s largest fleets, there’s a real need to ensure charging doesn’t become an additional burden for an already-stretched role.

Charging solutions for diverse fleets
No two fleets are the same. EV Connectors offers a wide range of professional and competitively priced charging solutions, with user-friendly advice to help deploy them effectively.
Flexible Solutions
Our rugged 16-amp charging cables are designed for hard-working EVs without their own chargepoint. Designed and manufactured in the UK, they include interchangeable plugs to suit British, Continental European and Commando sockets and adapt automatically to the available power, enabling drivers to get the fastest possible charge.
Smart Charging
The Juice BOOSTER range of professional-grade mobile charging stations provide the features of a smart wallbox in a portable format. Swappable connectors offer compatibility with the most common charging standards and power supplies, while the smartphone app tracks usage and allows drivers to monitor and control charge sessions remotely.
Made to Measure
Our large stock of Type 2 charging cables are available from stock in three lengths, from five to 15 metres – with custom sizes on request. Manufactured in the UK using the high-quality materials and offered with next-day delivery, they’re IP65 waterproof-rated with options to suit single (up to 7kW) or three-phase (11kW and higher) chargepoints.
