As businesses face increasing pressure to meet Net Zero targets, electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure is becoming more important than ever. But for many SMEs, the cost of installation — often upwards of £15,000 per unit — is a major barrier.

PE’s solution? Remove the barrier entirely.

“Our goal is to install 10,000 EV charge points using a model with zero capital expenditure for the business,” explains Steve Daniels, Group Chief Sales Officer.

PE’s EV proposition is designed as a dual-benefit model:

• It supports businesses on their Net Zero journey
• It increases footfall and revenue by attracting EV-driving customers
  
  

Installing an EV charger at your hotel, shop, or pub isn’t just a win for sustainability — it also drives footfall. More and more customers are choosing venues based on charging availability, making it a smart way to stay ahead of the curve.

With the UK set to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, the shift is already well underway. Early data from 2025 shows EV growth accelerating, with a 35% year-on-year increase in Q1 alone.*

And while most EV infrastructure providers expect the business to foot the bill, PE takes on the CapEx — including civil engineering works, which are often the most expensive and complex part of the job.

We take care of installation, infrastructure, and operational costs. Then, the charging revenue is with the business owner — helping them reduce energy costs while providing value to their customers.

The result is a simple, sustainable, and commercially attractive offer and a growing demand for EV infrastructure, PE’s approach has been described by clients as a “no-brainer.”

It’s more than just charging, it’s a complete business growth strategy.

At PE, evolution isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a commitment. Since our rebrand last year, we’ve been on a journey to reimagine how we present ourselves to the world. That means sharper comms, smarter strategy and stronger connections at every customer touchpoint.

Our new highlight reel brings that vision to life.

• And most importantly, the people behind it all

Since 2016, PE has supported UK SMEs with a full suite of services, from water, gas and electricity to EV charging, telecoms and payments. But our mission goes beyond business. We champion local charities, grassroots sport and community-led initiatives that create lasting impact.

We’re proud of the direction we’re heading and even more excited about the stories we’re starting to tell.

In a rapidly changing utilities market, speed and flexibility are no longer nice-to-haves — they’re essential.

From the start, PE recognised that if it was going to deliver value in the broker and SME space, it couldn’t rely on third-party systems. That’s why the team built its own platform  before they even secured their supply licence.

“Our system was designed specifically for brokers,” says Vipin Pathania, Group COO. “We knew the market needed a platform that was fast, reliable, and easy to use.”

That foresight paid off. According to a recent survey by Cornwall Insight, PE’s system has been rated the best broker-facing platform — a recognition that underscores the company’s commitment to enabling efficient, scalable growth for its partners.

“Back when we were brokers ourselves,” Neeraj Bhatia, Group CEO recalls, “getting comparative tariff sheets for 50 customers used to take up to a week. With our system, it takes just two minutes.”

That speed has proven to be a game-changer. By making it easier for brokers to do business, PE has strengthened relationships, increased volume, and built a reputation for responsiveness.

Steve Daniels, Group Chief Sales Officer, points to the in-house development model as a major reason for that success.

“We don’t rely on third parties. Because we own the system, we can make improvements rapidly, adapt to regulatory changes, and respond to market shifts almost instantly.”

This flexibility has become even more valuable in recent years, as the sector has experienced significant regulatory and operational shifts. PE’s internal agility allows the business to pivot quickly, meet Ofgem requirements, and continue supporting customers and brokers without disruption.

“That ability to move fast is a key part of why we’ve succeeded,” Daniels adds. “And it’s something we’ll continue to invest in.”
