EVIOS has swooped in to save fellow British home charge point manufacturer Andersen EV, which was forced to call in administrators last week.
Anderson’s A2 charger is considered to be a ‘premium’ product, with interchangeable facias to match your home or car. The company had supply agreements with Jaguar Land Rover and Porsche.
The management of EVIOS says the two brands will co-exist, serving different parts of the market and benefitting from shared investment in technology, installation personnel and customer support.
Production of Andersen units will recommence immediately, and all associated customer support services will be merged with the existing operation at EVIOS’s Bedfordshire headquarters. Installations will be fulfilled via EVIOS’s in-house installation team which provides full nationwide coverage.
EVIOS will fully support Andersen’s existing customer base across the UK and will honour any remaining product warranties. EVIOS will also fulfil over 200 pending product orders and will continue to operate Andersen-ev.com and the Kønnect+ app, which helps Andersen users manage, change and report on their charging activity.
EVIOS Chief Executive, David Martell said: “Andersen’s design-led positioning complements our leadership in technology and functionality, and running both brands in parallel will help us to serve an even broader range of customers. The EVIOS One provides intuitive and intelligent home charging for the mainstream while the Andersen charge point serves premium buyers attracted to design and aesthetics,” he continued.
EVIOS was launched in April this year by Martell, former CEO of Chargemaster which was sold to BP in 2018 and is now known as BP Pulse.
Its first unit, the EVIOS One, is currently being rolled out to UK customers, with plans to launch a business unit, EVIOS Two, during 2023.
