About us
char.gy is a leading electric vehicle (EV) charging provider (CPO), managing a network of nearly 5,000 public charge points across the UK. We partner with both the public and private sectors to accelerate the transition towards sustainable mobility. While home charging is ideal for many EV owners, approximately 40% of UK households face challenges due to limited access to off-street parking. At char.gy, we are committed to overcoming this obstacle by collaborating with local authorities to deploy on-street charging solutions. By strategically installing charge points along residential streets, we bring convenient, reliable, and affordable charging directly to drivers’ doorsteps. To date char.gy has secured a £100 million commitment from Zouk Capital and the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund (CIIF) to expand its network and support the transition for up to 1 million drivers by 2030. Whether you’re a local council interested in collaborating, a private developer seeking charging solutions, or simply curious about our mission, we invite you to get in touch. Let’s work together to create a future driven by clean, sustainable transportation.

UK to appeal against tax ruling cutting VAT on public electric car chargers to 5% In an exclusive from Jasper Jolly at The Guardian, HM Revenue & Customs confirmed it will challenge the tribunal’s decision, despite findings that drivers may have been overcharged for years. This matters. Public charging is a lifeline for millions of drivers without access to home charging, and decisions like this risk slowing progress at a critical moment for EV adoption. As our CEO, John Lewis, put it: “A deeply disappointing decision, and one that sends entirely the wrong signal to the millions of people who rely on public charging.” “The Government talks about accelerating EV adoption, yet is actively choosing to maintain a tax structure that makes public charging more expensive than it needs to be and undermines the transition,” he added.

UK to appeal against tax ruling cutting VAT on public electric car chargers to 5% Our CEO, John Lewis, said HMRC’s appeal was a “deeply disappointing decision, and one that sends entirely the wrong signal to the millions of people who rely on public charging”. He said the company would immediately pass on a VAT cut to its customers.
