Amsterdam, July 12th, 2019 - Franklin Energy has revealed details of its official partnership in the UK with EVBox, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electric vehicle charging stations and charging management software.
North West-based Franklin Energy has grown rapidly to become one of the country’s leading electric vehicle charging technology companies. This partnership represents a major step forward for the firm in the provision of pioneering and innovative technology for the thriving EV market.

Collaborating with a global leader in an official capacity helps solidify our position within the marketplace and gives us the confidence to deliver more contracts on a broader scale.Robert Byrne, Managing Director of Franklin Energy
