EO Charging has partnered with specialist power cable and accessories distributor Jointing Technologies to help the residential construction industry address new charging infrastructure rules

All new homes and buildings will be required to install electric vehicle charge points from this year, under recently announced legislation

Starting with immediate effect, EO will distribute its Mini Pro 2 charge points through Jointing Technologies, which has a UK-wide customer base that includes builders and developers in residential construction as well as distribution network operators (DNOs) and independent distribution network operators (IDNOs).

The alliance is in response to the Government’s announcement late 2021 that all new homes and buildings will be required to install electric vehicle charge points from this year, under new legislation. The rules state that EV charge points must be installed in any new home with associated parking, or any residential building with more than 10 parking spaces. Responsibility for the installation falls to the home builders.

“We understand that home builders and developers have a massive task ahead of them to meet the new regulations,” said Charlie Jardine, CEO of EO. “This new partnership is one of many channels we’re exploring to support this industry with our smart charging infrastructure. Jointing Technologies has a strong reputation for its customer service and innovation, and we’re delighted to be working with them as a distributor to help move homes in the UK towards a greener future.”
