Setting the industry standard for public EV charging!
Safe, accessible EV charging should be the norm!
It can be hard to know which public Electric Vehicle charging points are safe, accessible and suitable for your vehicle.
Not all EV charging points are created equal. Many charge points are in unsafe or inaccessible locations, making it difficult for drivers to use them.
The Award-Winning ChargeSafe 5-Star Ratings System is the solution. Our 140+ point inspection focuses on 6 key areas and assigns each site with a 5 star rating, to help you pick the right EV charging site for your needs.
Our ChargeSafe Promise
Our commitment is that no brand of CPO, land owner, or location can compromise the inspection outcome. We accept no additional income from invested parties, with the exception of a network subscription fee, whereby the inspection data can be purchased for the purposes of understanding what challenges and opportunities are posed, to make improvements to specific sites.
“We are absolutely delighted that ChargeSafe is highlighting security issues and taking action.”
