The business and assets of Scottish EV firm Trojan Energy have been sold out of administration to Urban EV Infrastructure Limited, a subsidiary of charging point provider Connected Kerb Limited.

The Aberdeen-based company appointed administrators from Interpath on 9th February, who facilitated an immediate sale via a pre-pack process, with all of Trojan Energy’s 63 employees transferring to the purchaser as part of the transaction.

Interpath said that although Trojan had installed around 1,500 of its “flat and flush” cross pavement charge points to date, most of them in London, the business was unable to secure the new funding it needed to develop its technology and expand its charging network. 

That is despite the Scots EV firm having secured a £26 million investment from BGF and Scottish National Investment Bank in 2024, cash intended to support the mass rollout of its clutter-free chargers across the UK.

On the back of that funding, Trojan had announced a partnership with Barnet Council to install around 1,300 on-street charge points, more than 1,250 of which had gone live by summer last year.

Connected Kerb said that it will maintain the operation of Trojan’s existing live network and integrate the firm’s Flat & Flush Hub and Home products into its own technology portfolio, accelerating plans to deliver EV charging to high-density neighbourhoods.

“This acquisition marks a pivotal moment in our mission to make reliable, accessible EV charging available to everyone, especially those without driveways,” said Chris Pateman-Jones, Connected Kerb CEO.

“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.”

Connected Kerb said that its acquisition of Trojan would expand its solutions for cross-pavement home charging across tricky urban environments, including heritage-listed areas, helping the firm remove barriers to EV ownership for the 60% of households without off-street parking.

“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 of 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.”
