Versinetic provides eco-friendly, customised technology, leading the way in the sector with future-ready solutions for electric vehicle (EV) charge point manufacturers across Europe and beyond.
“We specialise in manufacturing charge controllers, the ‘brain’ inside a charger, and sell them as a white-label product to various manufacturers,” explains Robert Meeks, Business Development Manager at Versinetic.
“We can customise our standard solutions and typically work with clients who sell between 1,000 and 100,000 chargers a year,” he adds.
When asked about the company’s upcoming projects, Meeks reveals to Mobility Portal Europe that they will launch a next-generation charge controller this year.
“It will maintain the same functionality as before but at a lower cost. It will also be compatible with standards such as ISO 15118,” he states.
The intelligent electronic communication controller, charging boards, display interface boards, and payment system hardware support the rapid creation of a next-generation smart EV charging point system.
It is worth mentioning that Versinetic also offers load balancing devices, which enable more chargers to be installed on a site without requiring costly infrastructure upgrades.
These devices continuously monitor energy consumption and ensure that the maximum power limit is not exceeded.
As a success story, Meeks highlights: “A client in the United States uses this solution to manage chargers located four hours by air from their offices. Our technology allows them to troubleshoot remotely, significantly reducing their operational costs.”
These devices can operate as a standalone system, eliminating the need for a back-end service provider.
Additionally, a payment terminal can be integrated, allowing users to select the device, pay, and activate charging.
They are compatible with any charger using OCPP 1.6 or 2.0.1.
Versinetic Aims to Expand into More Markets
The company is based in the United Kingdom (UK), where it designs and manufactures all its products.
“We also have satellite operations in Germany and the Netherlands, with plans to expand into other European markets,” says Meeks.
It is worth mentioning that, in terms of charge controllers, Versinetic collaborates with several well-known brands, not only in the UK but also in Ireland, Australia, the United States, and various European countries.
“We market our load balancing solutions to installers and distributors in different regions, but especially across Europe,” explains the Business Development Manager.
What are the eMobility trends in the UK?
The Versinetic EV charger engineering team analysed industry trends for 2025.
The UK will meet the ZEV mandate
The UK’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) mandate came into effect in the second half of 2024.
To meet the requirements, automakers are limiting combustion vehicle sales and offering discounts on battery electric vehicles (BEVs). As a result, BEV annual sales are rising to 18.1%.
Considering that plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and non-plug-in hybrids (HEVs) count as partial BEVs, and that manufacturers exceeding expectations can trade ZEV credits with those falling short, the mandate will be met.
Notably, this year’s mandate is more ambitious than 2024, requiring 28% zero-emission vehicles, up from 22%. This represents a 6% increase compared to 2024.
Thanks to the eMobility market’s momentum and the additional year manufacturers have for zero-emission vehicle implementation, the target will likely be achieved—though at the cost of further restricting combustion vehicle sales and increasing incentives.
This means diesel, petrol, and mild hybrid cars will, for the first time, fall below 50% market share (currently 60%), positively impacting PHEVs and HEVs.
It’s also worth noting that vans are included in the 2025 ZEV mandate, set at 16% of the market.
Meanwhile, buses do not have a ZEV mandate but are already making significant progress in cities and towns.
EVs will become more affordable in the UK
The EV market in 2025 will be more accessible, thanks to affordable Chinese cars, ZEV mandate discounts, salary sacrifice schemes for EV payments, and growth in the second-hand market.
EVs have reached 2.7% of the second-hand market, reflecting a 57% year-on-year increase.
“It is crucial to maintain tax incentives for company EVs, as they drive the second-hand market,” Meeks explains.
The Government will invest in tackling misinformation
According to Versinetic, the UK government is expected to invest millions of pounds in reducing misinformation about EVs.
Combating misinformation could create a considerable return on investment: £1 million would likely generate over £10 million in additional sales (more than 200 EVs at current average prices).
The charging revolution: power to the people
The UK’s charging infrastructure grew by 33% last year following a government review in 2023.
Most of this growth occurred in the rapid charging segment, which is more expensive.
Given the renewed momentum in the eMobility market, this growth is expected to continue through 2026.
Additionally, Supersmart AC chargers are likely to debut this year, utilising DC charging protocols (ISO 15118) to provide destination plug-and-go charging with optimal load balancing.
Features like those offered by Versinetic’s ISO 15118 AC charger are set to revolutionise public charging with a seamless and frustration-free experience.
More financial incentives to boost EV manufacturing
The UK’s car manufacturing sector faced closure threats in 2024 (e.g., Vauxhall’s plant).
However, the government is expected to offer financial incentives to sustain and, if possible, grow the market.
This is likely to include direct subsidies and collaborations with Chinese EV manufacturers, granting them a greater presence in the British industry in exchange for jobs, more competitive EVs, and shared technology with existing car models.
