Our Story

Welcome to Charging Universe, an exciting, forward-thinking communications agency that was created out of its halo brand, What Wallcharger?, a showcase of our team’s publishing skills and knowledge.

What Wallcharger? helps EV buyers, and those moving towards full energy independence, by guiding them to choose the right technology for their needs as well as connecting companies in this industry with this audience.

Charging Universe is not just about EVs (although we know a lot about this sector), we are a specialist automotive PR and marketing consultancy passionate about transport, cars, bikes, commercial vehicles and even classic cars and caravans. We are backed by decades of experience working with OEMs, supply chain, and automotive-related companie.

Our founders grew tired of the tick-box agency model where they promise brands the world but deliver mediocre results and decided to bring together their complementary backgrounds in journalism, PR, marketing and publishing to create Charging Universe.

Tapping into our senior leadership’s contacts and experience working at What Car?, Evo, Autocar, PistonHeads, Channel 4, Daily Express, Jaguar Land Rover and the UK Government, we help e-mobility businesses grow through effective communication strategies.
