New electric vehicle home charging manufacturer launches near Kemble

A new electric vehicle home charging manufacturer has entered the market.

Simpson & Partners, a family-run technology business, has been launched by the original co-founders of Andersen EV, Mandy and David Simpson, after leaving the company in 2020.

The brand’s first products, The Home Series, are wall boxes that are smaller than an A4 sheet of paper and engineered using high-quality materials.

All the chargers are designed and manufactured from a new 5,000 sq m facility between Malmesbury and Kemble, which opened this summer.

Simpson & Partners untethered chargers come in three different models, from 3.6-22kW.

The Home Series is simple to use, install and is compatible with all hybrid and electric vehicles.

Simpson & Partners charging units can be controlled using a mobile app, which connects to the charger whether internet is available or not.

It allows customers to check on the charging levels of their car, schedule and charge their vehicles when energy prices are at their lowest, link to solar panels if they have them, and lock the charger.

The Home Plus chargers are compatible with three-phase and solar power and seamlessly integrate with the customer’s home energy system.

The Home Series is available nationwide and can easily be installed by any qualified electrician. There are more than 180 approved installers working with Simpson & Partners to install its charging units.

Co-founder, David Simpson, said: “This is a huge moment for us, to be officially launching Simpson & Partners. Our new factory in the Cotswolds is operational and producing The Home Series charging units.

“Simpson & Partners’ mission is to offer high-quality solar EV chargers that look amazing on the front of peoples’ houses, are reliable, simple to use, built to last – yet don’t break the bank for EV drivers.

“The chargers are also solar compatible and sync to agile energy tariffs meaning drivers can use low cost, or even free energy and save money while charging.”

Simpson & Partners was launched in 2022 by two of the original co-founders behind Andersen EV. The company now employs around 20 people at its new factory
