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

Rolec is an end-to-end solutions provider with over three decades of design and manufacturing heritage, and an EV charging portfolio that spans destination, workplace, fleet, home and public charging. Its products are installed across thousands of UK and EU sites every week.

When Rolec and Monta joined forces, the initial plan was to bring 20,000 connected Rolec charge points live on Monta. 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.

With a commitment to quality and innovation, Rolec is trusted by industry-leading organisations including DHL, Next, Center Parcs, Microsoft and Porsche. Nationwide customers rely on Rolec for reliable, high-performing charging networks, seamless installation, and hands-on customer support.

The challenge: hardware reach without software scale

Rolec had the manufacturing footprint and installer network to scale quickly, but the UK and EU markets were 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.

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

Rolec appointed Monta as its preferred software partner, allowing the company to remain focused on hardware development.

The solution: Monta, across every charging context

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

A coordinated rollout across the existing installations

For chargers already in the field, the teams worked site by site to migrate existing infrastructure, ensuring live locations remained operational for both site hosts and drivers throughout the transition.

One software across every charging context

The same Monta software powers Rolec deployments across workplaces, return-to-home fleets, hotels, retail destinations, and public sites. Drivers use Monta Charge to find, start, and pay for charging. Site hosts use 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 rapidly over three years, with new Rolec sites coming online every week and an increasing number of charge points live on Monta.

Beyond the topline numbers, the work demonstrates what’s possible when a hardware manufacturer and a software provider move in the same direction. Rolec continues to build high-quality chargers, Monta keeps shipping the software that runs them, and the UK and Europe get a more unified charging experience across workplace, home and public sites.

What does the future hold?

The next chapter is about redefining how connected charging infrastructure supports a more stable grid. As Rolec continues to develop its hardware capabilities and introduce new features such as ISO 15118 and Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G), the partnership remains focused on supporting grid stability, from individual sites through to large-scale deployments. 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 can participate in grid services, 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 too does their overall contribution to a more stable grid.
