Partnership Accelerates EV Infrastructure Deployment with Advanced DC Fast Charging Solutions

COVENTRY, United Kingdom, Oct. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tritium, a global leader in DC fast charging technology, today announced an exclusive partnership with City Electrical Factors (CEF), the UK's leading multi-channel electrical distributor with over 390 branches, naming CEF as the first official hardware distributor of Tritium's EV charging solutions in the United Kingdom.

This strategic agreement establishes CEF as the primary channel for Tritium's industry-leading DC fast chargers across the UK market. The partnership leverages CEF's extensive distribution network and 70+ years of electrical expertise to expand access to Tritium's proven technology, already deployed in over 47 countries worldwide.

Comprehensive Solution Delivery Across the UK

The partnership makes Tritium products accessible to all EV contractors throughout the UK through CEF's network of 390+ branches, providing first-time distributor access to both hardware and spare parts. This comprehensive approach allows customers to source complete charging solutions as integrated packages, with coordinated delivery scheduling that eliminates the fragmented procurement processes of the past.

CEF's established logistics capabilities enable rapid deployment across the entire UK, with hardware and components typically delivered within 1-2 days. The partnership also provides customers with access to credit terms compared to direct purchasing, while ensuring first-hand availability of Tritium's latest technology.

Supporting UK's EV Future

The partnership supports the UK's transition to electric transportation by making Tritium's advanced DC fast charging technology more accessible through CEF's extensive distribution network. This accelerates the deployment of critical EV infrastructure, a requirement for growing electric vehicle adoption across the UK and Europe.
