Zouk Capital increased its backing to accelerate the rollout of on-street chargers across the UK.
"Zouk’s increased commitment to char.gy comes at a pivotal time as the EV charging market experiences exponential growth. Collaborating with dedicated partners like char.gy allows local authorities to provide accessible, reliable charging infrastructure to their residents now and into the future. We are delighted to strengthen our support for char.gy’s mission. Well-capitalised providers like char.gy ensure that councils can depend on consistent, long-term investments, which are crucial for sustainable infrastructure development. Investors committed for the long haul are essential in meeting the growing demand for EV infrastructure and supporting the UK’s Net Zero 2050 goals."
Zouk Capital led the investment round to accelerate the rollout of charging points across apartment buildings.
"With our fully managed and funded approach, we make the process as straightforward as possible. We remove any of the stress associated with an initial capital outlay or the ongoing management and maintenance of the charge points, while also creating a customer-centric proposition that will help landlords build long-term relationships with their residents."
The funding round was led by Zouk Capital alongside new investor Vortex Energy.
"We’re super excited to welcome Vortex Energy as our new growth investor alongside our long-term and trusted partner, Zouk Capital. The combined knowledge, international experience, and funding capacity will accelerate our growth, expand geographic reach, and drive innovation to deliver an ever-advancing suite of solutions to our customers not only in the UK and Europe but in fast-growing markets like North America."
