EO Charging Enters Administration With 69 Jobs Lost

The collapse highlights pressure on capital-heavy charging networks despite stronger EV demand in Europe.

Overview

  • EO Charging, which appointed PwC as administrator on Wednesday, April 8, cut 69 of its 93 roles and kept 24 staff to support a short wind-down.
  • Administrators said they will help customers move to other suppliers and will assist affected staff with Redundancy Payments Service claims.
  • PwC pointed to years of tough trading, loss-making expansion in the US, Australia, New Zealand and Italy, and a failed January 2026 sale process after new funding in late 2025.
  • The UK-based firm had built scale with more than 85,000 chargers and 13,000 commercial stations used by clients including Amazon, DHL, Tesco and Sainsbury’s.
  • The failure fits a wider shakeout in UK charging as rivals buy networks and rescue peers even while European EV sales accelerate.
