The funding will support the SecureCharge FLEX project, accelerating development, certification, and large-scale pilot deployments of HeyCharge’s EV charging platform across multiple European countries.

Our technology works 100 per cent reliably even in underground garages, and because we’ve eliminated the need for communications infrastructure - the cabling, the specialist labour, the ongoing maintenance - we cut installation costs by more than 40 per cent. That’s how you democratise home charging.
