Andersen EV home charge point installations double

UK’s home charge point provider Andersen EV has reported sales of its A2 unit have doubled since 2022, reflecting the growing number of consumers switching to electric vehicles.

Andersen is a recommended installer for Porsche and has been chosen as a preferred supplier by JLR. These relationships make Porsche and JLR the first and second brands most driven by Andersen A2 users, followed respectively by BMW, Tesla and Audi.

Analysis of new customer purchases over the past year shows that demand for the minimalist A2 unit is spread across the UK and Ireland, with the top three hot spots in affluent postcode areas of Kingston-upon-Thames, Oxford and Belfast. Reading is fourth in the listings of most popular areas, while Guildford and Basingstoke are tied in fifth place.

Andersen EV has developed numerous software and technology upgrades over the past year, including the first in a series of user-centric enhancements with the launch of an augmented reality (AR) tool, helping potential customers visualise how the A2 unit might look attached to the exterior of their home or workplace.

Other value-added services include longer customer service hours, 24-hour dispatch from the Bedford factory and installation within two weeks of order via Andersen’s team of in-house installers or affiliate technicians. Over the past year, the affiliate programme has grown by a third, providing coverage across the UK and Ireland that boosts the reach of the in-house team.

David Martell, CEO of Andersen EV, commented: “We have spent the past year bringing the ownership experience back on par with the levels customers expect with a premium purchase. These changes have positively influenced A2 sales, and we have doubled our operations to match this increased demand. We are also considering launching a second product in 2024 to meet changing customer needs.

In response to the fast-growing demand for its A2 charger, Andersen has doubled production capacity and increased headcount at its Bedfordshire factory. As part of a £1.5 million investment by parent company EVIOS Plc, it is actively recruiting across R&D, installation, customer service and manufacturing functions.
