The EVCC has announced that Smartly has become the latest Affiliate of the Code. By becoming an Affiliate of EVCC, Smartly is demonstrating its commitment to working with its supply chain to ensure its installers meet the high consumer protection standards required by the Code.
 

Smartly is one of the UK’s top online suppliers of smart EV chargepoints, charging cables, and Solar Tiles for domestic and commercial use. Their mission is to help the UK public learn all about Electric Vehicles, EV Charging and Solar Power, and simplify the process of buying their products online. They only partner with manufacturers in Europe and manufacture their charging cables in the UK.  Smartly is very selective in the products it sells with its no compromise approach to supplying reliable and long-lasting products.

Ross Miller, Managing Director of Smartly said:

"Smartly is pleased to become an affiliate member of the EVCC. We are a carbon neutral and sustainable UK family business, and we hold strong values when it comes to the products we sell and the customer care we provide. We look forward to giving customers peace of mind while helping them make buying decisions for their EV charging needs. We will also continue to provide top customer service, especially when support is needed for any issues that arise. We only partner with the very best brands to ensure the products and buying process are first class and stress free." 

Virginia Graham, Chief Executive of Renewable Energy Assurance Ltd said: 
 
“I am delighted to welcome Smartly to the growing number of EVCC Affiliates and members.
 
By becoming an Affiliate of EVCC, Smartly demonstrates a commitment to not only providing its customers with good quality EV charging solutions, but also making sure its customers are protected by the Code when contracting with a member to install their equipment.
 
Boosting consumer confidence and working closely with manufacturers and suppliers such as Smartly, is essential if we are to scale this industry and achieve the government’s goal to end the sale of all new petrol and diesel cars by 2030.”
