Connected Kerb has acquired Trojan Energy for an undisclosed sum after the EV charging solutions firm entered administration.

Geoff Jacobs and Alistair McAlinden from Interpath were appointed joint administrators to Trojan Energy Limited yesterday (9 February 2026) and immediately implemented a sale of the business and assets via a pre-pack process to Connected Kerb’s Urban EV Infrastructure subsidiary.

Connected Kerb, a leading charging network with a particular focus on on-street charging solutions, said it would maintain the operation of Trojan’s 1,500 existing live charge points and integrate Trojan’s Flat & Flush Hub and Home products into its own technology portfolio.

All of Trojan Energy’s 63 employees will also transfer as part of the transaction.

The company said the move strengthens its position as a leader in accessible, smart and future-proof charging infrastructure designed for all communities.

It added that the deal marked a major step toward nationwide kerbside charging.

A spokesperson said: “The acquisition enhances Connected Kerb’s ability to deliver high-density neighbourhood charging, where we are resolving critical barriers to EV ownership for the 60% of households without access to off-street parking.

“With EV ownership accelerating and public charging demand increasingly centred on reliability, availability and urban accessibility, the combined Connected Kerb–Trojan portfolio is uniquely positioned to meet this challenge head-on.”

Founded in 2016, Aberdeen-based Trojan Energy designs and builds EV charging solutions which are designed primarily for residents who park on street to provide access to fast charging at, or near the home. The company’s patented technology sits flat and flush to the pavement, avoiding ‘street clutter’. By 2026, Trojan Energy had installed c.1,500 charge points, the majority of which are in London.

The acquisition gives Connected Kerb an expanded solutions portfolio that means it can serve all locations across the urban environment, even heritage-listed areas, while including a “safe, durable and high-quality” cross-pavement home charging solution.

It will also enhance solutions for EV drivers, giving a broader range of on-street parking locations, while also delivering operational efficiencies across the organisations.

Chris Pateman-Jones, chief executive of Connected Kerb, said: “This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in our mission to make reliable, accessible EV charging available to everyone, especially those without driveways. Trojan’s cutting-edge subsurface technology perfectly complements Connected Kerb’s long-life, smart charging infrastructure. Together, we’re building a future where clean transport is easy, equitable and built for all communities.”

Ian Mackenzie, CEO Trojan Energy, added: “This deal brings Trojan Energy’s pioneering Flat & Flush charge points inside one of the UK’s largest and fastest-growing EV charging networks, Connected Kerb. The acquisition allows existing and new customers to benefit from a larger combined network, and accelerates the benefits of the energy transition for EV drivers, their communities and the planet.”

Interpath said Trojan Energy had made strong progress in advancing its solutions and deploying charge points, but was unable to secure the level of new funding needed to meet its long-term growth plans. After exploring a range of strategic and investment options with its advisors, and when a solvent outcome could not be achieved, the directors took the decision to appoint administrators.

Geoff Jacobs, managing director at Interpath and joint administrator, said: “Demand for accessible on-street vehicle charging infrastructure continues to grow across the UK, including for the estimated 60% of UK households without access to off-street parking.

“We’re therefore pleased to have secured this transaction which will allow the Trojan technology to contribute to the future of the UK’s EV charging infrastructure. We wish Urban EV Infrastructure Limited every success.”
