Connected Kerb takes over Trojan Energy

Under the deal, Connected Kerb will maintain the operation of Trojan’s 1,500 existing live charge points and integrate Trojan’s Flat & Flush Hub and Home products into its own proven technology portfolio. Additionally, as part of the transaction, all 63 of Trojan’s employees will transfer to Connected Kerb.

Trojan’s ‘Flat & Flush’ system works via a subsurface electricity port installed in the pavement, which connects to a portable charger and cable. As a result, when not in use, the system is completely invisible. Trojan Energy reports that it had installed about 1,500 charging points by 2026.

Connected Kerb cites several major benefits from the acquisition, primarily including an enhanced solutions portfolio, which allows Connected Kerb to “serve all locations across the urban environment, even heritage listed areas…” It also promises an enhanced driver experience, due to a broader range of on-street parking options, as well as operational efficiencies across the two organizations, which the company hopes will enhance their energy management expertise.

Chris Pateman–Jones, CEO Connected Kerb, commented: “This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in our mission to make reliable, accessible EV charging available to everyone, especially those without driveways. Trojan’s cutting – edge subsurface technology perfectly complements Connected Kerb’s long – life, smart charging infrastructure. Together, we’re building a future where clean transport is easy, equitable, and built for all communities.”

“This deal brings Trojan Energy’s pioneering Flat & Flush charge points inside one of the UK’s largest and fastest- growing EV charging networks, Connected Kerb,” added Ian Mackenzie, CEO Trojan Energy. “The acquisition allows existing and new customers to benefit from a larger combined network and accelerates the benefits of the energy transition for EV drivers, their communities and the planet.”
