Humax is continuing its expansion into the UK home and fleet charging sectors with a new distribution deal.

The partnership with Kelvelec will expand accessibility of the Humax EV charger range

Established EV charging distributor Kelvelec will stock the full line-up of Humax residential and commercial charging solutions, including the 7.4kW Smart Home Charger, launched in March 2024.

The partnership will expand accessibility of the Humax EV charger range to electrical wholesalers, installers and retailers. The agreement will help Humax increase its growth in the market and support its comprehensive customer support infrastructure.

Simon Humphries, retail business director at Humax, commented, “This new agreement with Kelvelec significantly expands our reach into the electrical wholesale, installation and retail market, and is supported by Kelvelec’s official ISO certifications and excellent service credentials, recognised across the EV and electrical industries. We look forward to working with the Kelvelec team and to a successful long-term partnership, as EV penetration continues to increase rapidly across the UK.”

Best known for its digital TV recorders and smart home devices, South Korea-based Humax has a 35-year background in manufacturing and the automotive mobility sector, with a portfolio covering smart parking, fleet management, shared mobility and electric vehicle charging.

The Humax 7.4kW Smart Home Charger debuted in the spring, designed for easy installation and use at residential properties, either wall-mounted or on a pedestal and featuring a 4m or 7m Type 2 cable and manual controls via RFID technology or by the Humax Ecord app. This was swiftly followed by the appointment of ChargedEV, part of Zigup Plc (formerly the Redde Northgate Group), as the official Humax EV charging installation partner.

Humax also debuted its commercial EV charger line-up to the UK and global markets this summer. The product portfolio, ranging from slow to fast chargers, has been designed to meet commercial requirements and support the shift to electric vehicles, alongside the company’s home chargers.

Kelvelec director Alex O’Neill said: “Humax offers stylish and versatile EV charging solutions, backed by decades of innovation, exceptional customer service and unwavering reliability. We’re excited to be able to support their growth in the UK and look forward to seeing the relationship flourish.”
