We're live with Kelvelec!

Our press release went out to the market today and you can read it in full below.

VCHRGD, the UK-based EV charging manufacturer, has announced a new distribution partnership with Kelvelec, further expanding its presence across the UK electrical wholesale market.

The agreement will see Kelvelec stock and distribute VCHRGD’s range of smart EV chargers via their UK-wide base of wholesale clients, improving accessibility for electrical contractors and installers seeking reliable, cost-effective charging solutions backed by strong technical support,.

The partnership marks a continued focus for VCHRGD on building its wholesale channel, a core route to market that enables their growth while maintaining close alignment with installers and trade partners.

It also builds on recent momentum created through VCHRGD’s partnerships with leading energy providers including Octopus Energy and So Energy, enabling installers to offer customers smart charging solutions that combine competitive hardware with low-cost, smart off-peak tariffs.

Through this partnership, Kelvelec customers will benefit from access to VCHRGD’s portfolio of chargers, designed to be simple to install, competitively priced and built for consistent real-world performance.

VCHRGD’s hardware is supported by a UK-based technical team and a strong track record for reliability, with less than 0.54% of units requiring return for replacement. This combination of hardware reliability, tariff integration and partner support reflects VCHRGD’s broader strategy to deliver practical, scalable solutions through its partner ecosystem.

Phil McDermott, Chairman at VCHRGD, said:

“Wholesale is a critical channel for us, and partnering with Kelvelec is an important step in expanding our reach across the UK.

They have a strong understanding of the electrical trade and share our focus on service, reliability, and supporting wholesalers and installers on the ground.

For our partners, this means easier access to chargers that are simple to install, competitively priced and fully supported, alongside integrations with energy providers like Octopus and So Energy that are helping customers reduce charging costs.”

Matt Gooding, Director at Kelvelec added:

“VCHRGD share the same ethos and values as Kelvelec, prioritising the customer experience and delivery of exceptional service, so partnering with them was a no-brainer for us. Meeting the passionate people within their team gave us huge confidence in the partnership, and we are proud to be working together with them to promote the products for exponential growth throughout 2026 and beyond.”

Founded in 2021, VCHRGD has established itself as a customer and installer-focused EV charging manufacturer, operating across wholesale, installer and fleet channels.

The partnership with Kelvelec represents a further step in strengthening that network, supporting the continued rollout of EV infrastructure across the UK.
