Fuuse acquires Everyday EV driver support service

Fuuse, an electric vehicle charging software and services provider, has acquired the assets of Everyday EV, a UK-based driver support service for an undisclosed sum.

Everyday EV is known for its driver support and charger monitoring services. The support team of 20 has now joined Fuuse as part of the deal.

Dan Lucy-Lloyd, Fuuse head of network operations, said how the new Public Charge Point Regulations, which came into law on November 24 this year, was one of the driving forces behind the acquisition.

These regulations require anyone providing public charge points to offer a free-to-call 24/7 helpline.

Lucy-Lloyd said the investment would bolster Fuuse’s existing support offering and help charge point operators (CPOs) meet their obligations to provide a fantastic experience to all drivers.

He said: “It also ensures charger reliability and uptime is optimised for CPOs, enabling a better service all-round.

“This represents the start of what we see as an exciting growth opportunity within the business and we’ll share more about our plans in the future.”

Michael Gibson, Fuuse chief executive, recognises this acquisition as an opportunity to improve reliability across the public charging network and for those with business-critical charging needs.

Gibson added: “Fuuse works with hundreds of UK companies where charging is increasingly seen as business-critical infrastructure, such as commercial charging or where vehicles are key to operations, such as blue light services, delivery or field service and response.

“The acquisition of Everyday EV strengthens our position to provide UK-based solutions to those investing in electric vehicles and who need the certainty and reliability of their charging infrastructure.”
