Our Story
Welcome to Charging Universe, an exciting new communications agency that was created out of its halo brand, What Wallcharger?, a showcase of our team’s publishing skills and knowledge.
What Wallcharger? helps electric vehicle (EV) buyers, and those moving towards full energy independence, by guiding them to choose the right technology for their needs as well as connecting companies in this industry with this audience.
Charging Universe is a specialist PR and marketing consultancy passionate about all things e-mobility, backed by decades of experience in EVs, EV technology and supply chain, charging networks and infrastructure, low carbon technology solutions and e-mobility from our senior leadership team.
Our founders grew tired of the tick-box agency model where they promise brands the world but deliver mediocre results and decided to bring together their complementary backgrounds in journalism, PR, marketing and publishing to create Charging Universe.
Tapping into our senior leadership’s contacts and experience working at What Car?, Evo, Autocar, PistonHeads, Channel 4, Daily Express, Jaguar Land Rover and the UK Government, we help e-mobility businesses grow through effective communication strategies.
