Celebrating 3 years and 50,000+ charge points with Rolec: Monta’s largest UK hardware brand

Rolec is a end-to-end EV charging solutions provider, with three decades of design and manufacturing heritage and a portfolio that spans home, workplace, destination and public charging. Their chargers are installed across hundreds of UK sites every week.

When Rolec and Monta joined forces, the initial plan was to bring 20,000 connected Rolec charge points live on Monta within a year. Three years on, the partnership has delivered more than 50,000 charge points across the UK, with 4 million charging sessions and 93.7 million kWh of clean energy already powered together.

The Challenge: Hardware Reach Without Software Scale

Rolec had the manufacturing footprint and installer network to grow fast, but the UK market was demanding more than reliable hardware. Site hosts wanted real-time visibility, drivers wanted a friction-free payment experience, and operators wanted unified reporting across every charger they had in the field.

Building all of that in-house would have meant pulling Rolec’s focus away from what it does best: engineering and manufacturing chargers. And patching together a stack from third-party tools would have left Rolec’s customers with a fragmented experience across home, commercial and public charging.

Rolec needed a software partner that could match the scale of its hardware ambition, support every charging context out of the box, and let installers turn a charger on as easily as they install it.

The Solution: Monta, Across Every Charging Context

The two teams built an integrated solution that simplified the path from factory floor to first charge.

Pre-installed hardware

Rolec chargers are loaded with Monta firmware on the production line, so installers no longer configure each unit on-site. A charger arrives ready to connect to Monta the moment it is powered up.

A coordinated rollout across the existing fleet

For chargers already in the field, the two teams worked through the rollout site by site, keeping live sites running for site hosts and drivers as charge points came onto Monta.

One software across every charging context

The same Monta software powers Rolec deployments at homes, workplaces, hotels, retail destinations and public sites. Drivers use Monta Charge to find, start and pay for charges. Site hosts get Monta Hub for pricing, reporting and remote support. And Rolec’s own team uses Partner Services to manage the relationship at portfolio level.

The Results: 50,000+ Charge Points, 4M+ Sessions, 48,300 Tonnes CO₂ Avoided

Three years in, the numbers tell the story of what the Rolec and Monta teams have built together across the UK. Measured to the end of Q1 2026:

The partnership has scaled steadily across all three years, with new Rolec sites coming online every week and hardware with Monta software shipping straight from the production line ready to connect.

Beyond the topline numbers, the work shows what’s possible when the hardware manufacturer and the software provider pull in the same direction. Rolec keeps building world-class chargers, Monta keeps shipping the software that runs them, and the UK gets a unified charging experience across home, work, and public sites.

What Does the Future Hold?

The next chapter is about redefining how charge point operators make money. Beyond the revenue from charging itself, Rolec and Monta are opening up a new income stream: the grid. Connected Rolec chargers running on Monta can briefly adjust their power draw in response to imbalance on the network, pausing or resuming as supply and demand shift. Operators get paid for participating, drivers stay in control, and the UK grid gets a fleet of flexible assets ready exactly when it needs them most. As the Rolec assets on Monta scale, so does the value operators can capture from every connected charger.
