Bourne End-based electric vehicle charging manufacturer VCHRGD has entered into a distribution partnership with electrical wholesaler Kelvelec to expand its sales coverage across the UK trade market.
Under the agreement, Kelvelec will supply VCHRGD’s electric vehicle chargers through its network of wholesale customers, providing hardware to electrical contractors and installers.
The partnership forms part of VCHRGD’s operational strategy to build its wholesale distribution network alongside existing integrations with UK energy providers, including Octopus Energy and So Energy, which allow hardware units to function with dynamic off-peak electricity rates.
VCHRGD reports that hardware return rates across its product line remain below 0.54 per cent, supported by a technical assistance team located in the UK.
Phil McDermott, Chairman at VCHRGD, said: “Wholesale is a critical channel for us, and partnering with Kelvelec is an important step in expanding our reach across the UK. They have a strong understanding of the electrical trade and share our focus on service, reliability, and supporting wholesalers and installers on the ground. For our partners, this means easier access to chargers that are simple to install, competitively priced and fully supported, alongside integrations with energy providers like Octopus and So Energy that are helping customers reduce charging costs.”
Matt Gooding, Director at Kelvelec added: “VCHRGD share the same ethos and values as Kelvelec, prioritising the customer experience and delivery of exceptional service, so partnering with them was a no-brainer for us. Meeting the passionate people within their team gave us huge confidence in the partnership, and we are proud to be working together with them to promote the products for exponential growth throughout 2026 and beyond.”
Founded in 2021, VCHRGD operates across wholesale, installer, and commercial fleet markets.
