Welcome to EValu8
EValu8 Transport Innovations Ltd runs the Government-supported Plugged In Places project for electric vehicle charging in the East of England.
Who we are
EValu8 Transport Innovations Ltd works on the practical side of electric vehicle charging. We help councils, businesses and property owners turn national ambitions into charge points that drivers can use with confidence.
Our central activity is the Plugged In Places project. It is supported by Government and focuses on bringing public charging to places where drivers need it most, from town centres and workplaces to rural communities that have been slow to get infrastructure.
Our role is to coordinate partners, share site knowledge and keep the work grounded in what local drivers actually need.
Our history
The company was formed to focus on transport innovation in the East of England, where long distances and dispersed towns make charging access a real barrier for electric vehicle owners.
Since then our work has grown from early feasibility studies into a programme of installations, partner agreements and driver research that informs each new site.
Stage one
Feasibility and site mapping
We reviewed local travel patterns and identified locations where public charging was missing or limited.
Stage two
Partner agreements
We agreed hosting and operating arrangements with councils, businesses and landowners willing to provide sites.
Stage three
Installation and monitoring
Charge points were brought into service and their use was reviewed to guide later locations.
Mission and values
Our mission
To make electric vehicle charging reliable, easy to find and fair to everyone who depends on it, whatever their journey.
Our values
- Evidence before expansion
- Open partnership with local organisations
- Clear information for drivers
- Value for public funding
Each site is chosen with its host and its neighbours in mind, so that the charger serves the people who will use it every day.
Team overview
Our team brings together project management, engineering support, data analysis and community engagement. Each area works closely with the others so that technical decisions reflect the experience of drivers and hosts.
We work with partners who bring their own expertise, including local authorities, grid operators and transport groups. Together we review progress at regular points in each project.

We welcome conversations with councils, businesses, community groups and drivers who want to see better charging in their area.
