powering a new CPMS model How VCHRGD’s reliable, competitively priced EV chargers power Tap Electric’s driver-fi rst CPMS.
VCHRGD and Tap Electric: A
s the UK’s EV charging market matures, reliability, cost control and service quality are becoming decisive factors in charge point deployment. For VCHRGD, a UK-based EV charger manufacturer built around simplicity, sustainability and support, this shift represents a clear opportunity to deliver dependable, installer- friendly hardware that makes life easier for installers and end customers. That focus on reliability and real-world performance is exactly why CPMS provider Tap Electric selected VCHRGD as a strategic hardware partner.
As EV adoption accelerates across workplaces, residential blocks and fl eets, Charge Point Management Systems (CPMS) are under pressure to deliver fl exible, aff ordable solutions for both site owners and drivers. Yet much of the market still relies on fee-heavy, contract-locked models with monthly per-socket charges and long-term commitments that can slow adoption. Tap Electric, the Amsterdam-based EV charging software company, has built its model diff erently.
Its driver-fi rst CPMS and app remove unnecessary complexity, off ering fl exible access controls, transparent tariff s and 24/7 in-house support, crucially without the more traditional mandatory monthly socket fees. However, that model only works if the underlying hardware is robust, easy to support and competitively priced. VCHRGD’s OCPP-compliant chargers are designed specifi cally to meet those evolving market pressures. Combining dynamic load management, installer-friendly architecture and strong build quality, they are backed by UK-based technical support focused on right-fi rst-time resolution. For Tap, one factor stood out: the ease of working with the VCHRGD hardware and the team itself.
“We’re very selective about the hardware we integrate with,” said Andrew Collins, business developer at Tap Electric. “For Tap, reliability, ease of support and a sensible price point are non- negotiable. VCHRGD consistently delivers on all three, which is why the partnership works so well.” In live commercial deployments, the Tap |
VCHRGD proposition has enabled customers to replace legacy chargers, introduce fl exible driver groups and implement clearer tariff structures, all set against the backdrop of a lower total cost of ownership compared with traditional CPMS providers.
By pairing VCHRGD’s competitively priced, highly reliable hardware with Tap’s no-fee software model, the business case for EV charging becomes signifi cantly stronger, removing a huge barrier for workplaces and residential settings where cost and adoption risk are key concerns.
