waEV-charge, the next generation of EV chargers designed for housebuilders, developers and homeowners, has announced its partnership with EV Chargers Distributor Volta Charge Points, reinforcing its product line-up to give contractors access to one of the UK’s fastest-growing EV charging brands

The partnership will see manufacturer waEV supply its charge point solutions through Volta’s wholesale network and online channels, for homes, businesses, and fleets across the UK. This follows the announcement by the government in May that most homeowners, businesses and public premises will no longer need to submit planning applications for either private or public EV charger installations, reducing upfront administration and simplifying access to low-cost home charging options. This is expected to fuel further demand for EV home charging points, with EV infrastructure in new housing now a fast-growing expectation.

The introduction of waEV’s EV1s untethered and EV1i tethered chargers into its portfolio enhances Volta’s offering with a brand that has quickly established a reputation for reliability, installer-friendly design, and scalability for large projects, strengthening its commitment to offering installers and resellers high-quality reliable equipment from trusted manufacturers.

While Volta is the leading distributor for a wide selection of EV charging brands, it cites its affiliation with waEV as a preferred partnership grounded in mutual trust, one that reinforces its reputation as a one-stop supplier for the electrical trade.

Smart, compliant, future-proof, and engineered with long-term reliability in mind, waEV’s EV1S and EV1i models both support:

  • 4kW single-phase charging
  • Built-in Type 2 charging cable
  • WiFi and optional Bluetooth
  • Smart app integration via EV.Energy – monitors usage and connects to off-peak tariffs
  • PEN Fault Detection – compliant with BS 7671 wiring regulations
  • Solar PV integration-ready to prepare homeowners for energy independence

With no earth rod required, waEV’s chargers eliminate complex groundwork, making them ideal for quick installations on new builds. Each unit is also designed for efficient setup by certified professionals, with dynamic load balancing and built-in PEN protection making it safer and faster to deploy. Designed with housing developers in mind, waEV chargers support bulk ordering, scalable configurations, and ongoing support.

Chris Chevalier-Moniz, CEO of Volta explained: “Reliability is absolutely critical for our customers, and waEV has become our go-to brand for that reason. Their chargers deliver consistent performance, smart features, and flexible installation options. Whether it’s a single home install or a bulk development project, we know our wholesalers and trade partners can trust waEV to deliver.”

Joe Fogel, CEO of waEV added: “With the UK’s demand for charging infrastructure accelerating, our partnership with Volta ensures we can offer customers greater access to our smart, compliant and future-ready solutions that meet the requirements of fast-evolving EV infrastructure and smart charging regulations.”

This collaboration comes at a time when demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure continues to rise, with the electrical trade playing a crucial role in meeting the UK’s net zero ambitions.
