The hum of electric vehicles is becoming increasingly familiar on Scottish roads, a testament to the growing adoption of sustainable transport. However, there's an important change coming to the charging infrastructure. Over the next 9 months, the ChargePlace Scotland network will stop working. It will gradually get smaller, and all charge points on it will need to move to new providers. This means your organisation must switch its charging infrastructure away from ChargePlace Scotland by the end of 2025. You'll still own your charging points and be able to use them with a different provider.

This change in public EV charging in Scotland starts in 2025, as ChargePlace Scotland will no longer be funded by the government (Transport Scotland). The goal is to have at least 6,000 public charge points by 2030, and it's believed that private companies will help make this happen. For the many charge point owners currently using ChargePlace Scotland – who manage over 2,500 chargers – this upcoming shutdown means you need to plan carefully and choose a new provider.

At voltshare, we understand this transition might seem complicated. You've invested in providing important EV charging, and now you need a reliable and easy-to-use system to keep it running after ChargePlace Scotland stops. That's where voltshare helps.

We're not just software; we're your partner in creating a successful future for EV charging. Our platform is simple to use and will help you manage your operations, improve the driver experience, and ultimately, make the most of your investment.

Why Choose voltshare as Your Next Partner?

As you explore alternatives to the existing framework, several factors will be top of mind: cost-effectiveness, reliability, and the ability to scale. At voltshare, we've built our solution with these very priorities in mind.

The voltshare Advantage: Flexibility and Control with Pay-As-You-Go

One of the core pillars of the voltshare philosophy is flexibility. We understand that the demands on your charging infrastructure can fluctuate. That's why we offer a pay-as-you-go model that truly sets us apart.

Think about it: with a traditional subscription-based EV charging solution, you're often locked into rigid monthly fees and lengthy contracts, sometimes spanning multiple years. This means that even during periods of lower usage or planned downtime, you're still incurring significant costs.

However, with voltshare's pay-as-you-go EV charging solution, those worries become a thing of the past. There are no fixed monthly fees, and you won't be tied down by a complicated, multi-year contract. This empowers you with the freedom to only pay for what you actually use. This inherent flexibility allows you to manage your costs effectively and adapt to the evolving needs of your charging network. As demand grows, you can confidently scale your infrastructure without the burden of escalating fixed subscription costs.

Unwavering Support, Every Step of the Way

We know that smooth operations are paramount. Downtime not only frustrates drivers but also impacts your revenue. That's why we provide 24/7 driver support. Our dedicated team is always on hand, ready to assist your drivers with any issues they may encounter, ensuring a seamless charging experience and minimising disruption.

Furthermore, we believe in setting you up for success from the very beginning. That's why every voltshare partner is assigned a personal Customer Success Manager. They will guide you through the initial setup process, answer any questions you have about our system, and serve as your ongoing point of contact. Consider them your direct line for support, ensuring a smooth and efficient transition and a continued positive experience.

Built for Growth: Scaling with Your Ambitions

We've designed our charging solution with your future growth firmly in mind. By eliminating the burden of ongoing fees and restrictive contracts, and by simplifying the payment process, you'll secure both long-term profitability and the ability to scale your operations with ease.

Our cost-effective, feature-rich charging stations provide the essential tools you need to add more charging points precisely when demand increases. We prioritise a sustainable growth model, allowing you to expand your network confidently and responsibly, aligning perfectly with Scotland's ambitious targets for EV infrastructure.
