Overview

EZ-Charge is a British electric vehicle (EV) charging company that operates as a charge point operator (CPO). Spun out of an EV charging manufacturer and headquartered in Oxfordshire, the company describes itself as a "Local CPO" with a homegrown charging solution. It oversees every stage of the charging process — from initial site surveys and installation to maintenance, operation, and the development of its own EZ-Charge Dashboard software, which gives partners live access to charger data for revenue analysis and planning. The company serves three main customer groups: private landlords and property owners, local authorities, and EV drivers. For landlords and businesses, EZ-Charge offers fully funded charging solutions, meaning it works with property owners across a range of sectors to install and operate chargers without upfront capital cost, while providing a new income stream. For local authorities, it partners with councils to deliver regional charging infrastructure. For drivers, it provides support with charging, troubleshooting, and locating its chargers. EZ-Charge emphasises reliability and user experience. Its public chargers come equipped with contactless payment as standard, from AC 22kW units up to DC 400kW ultra-rapid chargers. The company reports over 99.5% uptime across its network, with its rapid chargers achieving 99.64% reliability for 2025. It also highlights environmental credentials: it is certified carbon neutral by Carbon Neutral Britain, offsets all its emissions, and reports having saved over 1,500 tonnes of CO2e and delivered more than 7,000,000 electric miles. According to its website, EZ-Charge has a network of 250 chargers across 20 sites, making Oxfordshire one of the best-placed counties in the UK for EV transition. The company states it is a young business with plans to disrupt the UK EV charging market, expand across the country, and increase its presence in both the public and private sectors. Its story is grounded in more than 30 years of UK R&D, innovation and manufacturing, tracing back to an Oxford University project in the late 1980s and the founding of its sister company, Zeta Lighting Ltd, by Phil Shadbolt OBE.

The company's roots trace back to an Oxford University project in the late 1980s, when its founder, Phil Shadbolt OBE, established the sister company Zeta Lighting Ltd to improve fuel efficiency in commercial vehicles. That environmental focus remained a common thread, and EZ-Charge was conceived as a contribution towards an all-electric future for the automotive industry.
