Weev

Weev, electric vehicle charging network in Ireland

Weev is a company specialising in electric vehicle charging solutions covering three areas: the home, the workplace and the public network. Its offering is based on its own network of charging points accessible through the My Weev app, which allows users to locate chargers and access lower rates than those of the general network.

Home charging and charger installation

The company presents itself as a registered installer of home chargers and offers advice on the most suitable model and the configuration of the installation in each home. Its catalogue includes the Easee Home, Zappi Home, VCHRGD, Andersen EV, Project EV, Wallbox and Hypervolt Home 3 Pro chargers, as well as a 7 kW Project EV station. The website indicated installation prices from £949 in Northern Ireland and from €999 in the Republic of Ireland, the latter after applying a SEAI grant of €300, with £25 or €25 of free network credit associated with any installation.

Weev also serves those who do not have a driveway, off-street parking or live in rented accommodation, and owners who wish to offer charging to their tenants.

Business solutions and fleet management

For the professional sector, Weev assesses the feasibility and requirements of each project and reviews the available grants to prepare a tailored proposal. The business offering includes workplace charging, charging management software, salary sacrifice schemes, depot grant schemes and the Insite by Weev service. The company carries out a free site assessment and offers the Charging as a Service model.

Grants and installation support

The company reports that grants are available for the installation of charging bays and sockets for residents and businesses in the United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland, as well as the Republic of Ireland, and offers an eligibility check service.

My Weev app and driver support

The My Weev app gives access to the company's entire network and to reduced rates, exclusive discounts and company updates. Downloading it has no sign-up fee and includes £5 or €5 of free credit. The app allows filtering by connector type (Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, CCS, CHAdeMO, Schuko and others) and there is also the option to request a key fob for tap, charge and go. Weev states that its support service is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and it has a support hub with driver resources, a route planner, tariffs and promotions.

Partnerships and network presence

Weev works with property managers, sports clubs and other locations that wish to add charging points, and encourages drivers to suggest locations where chargers are lacking. Its recent projects include a charging hub in Roscommon and two charger installation programmes for Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council. The company lists Firmus Energy among its clients and keeps open the possibility for users to propose new locations to expand the network.
