But rapid expansion had exposed two pain-points we are familiar with. Formula Space was asked to step in with a single-source package that tightened up feasibility, kept within budgets, deliver…

As EV infrastructure scales up across the UK and Europe, the conversation is rightly shifting from just “how many chargers” to “how good is the charging experience?” Uptime, safety and driver satisfaction are should be embedded at the very forefront of good site design. One of the most overlooked element boosting user experience is the…
