On Wednesday, October 2nd, 2024, the UK government announced their new regulations for electric vehicle (EV) chargers, with the goal of achieving 99% reliability. According to the government, this means that “the network of rapid charge points is, on average, reliable for 99% of the time during each calendar year.” However, many EV drivers have experienced issues with the reliability of these chargers.
In response to these concerns, ABB, a renowned manufacturer of EV chargers, has announced a partnership with SaveMoneyCutCarbon. This partnership aims to support ABB’s UK customers by providing assistance with design and specification, grid connection, financing, installation, and post-installation servicing.
SaveMoneyCutCarbon has been recognized as one of the UK’s leading businesses in helping organizations reduce their energy, water, and carbon usage. The company offers support for projects of all sizes, from single online orders to multi-million-pound initiatives. With several “Tech Hubs” in place, SaveMoneyCutCarbon can provide both consultation and delivery services for a wide range of technologies aimed at reducing energy, water, science-based targets, ESG, and NetZero goals. The transition to electric vehicles is often seen as a quick win in reducing carbon emissions, making it a key focus for SaveMoneyCutCarbon.
Raul Diani, ABB’s Area Manager Europe of EV, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating that they have been searching for a “hybrid partner” like SaveMoneyCutCarbon. He believes that their expertise in delivering over 1000 projects in the UK, as well as their understanding of various aspects related to EV installations, such as grid connection and solar and battery storage, will provide comprehensive support to both end-user clients and trade customers who choose ABB as their charger of choice.
Mark Sait, CEO of SaveMoneyCutCarbon, also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating that ABB’s brand and reliable technology make them a perfect fit for their company. He believes that with their agile approach and multidisciplinary team, combined with ABB’s superior product range, they will be able to provide much-needed support in the rapidly evolving EV market.
