Vestel to launch own-brand EV chargers
Vestel EV Charger

Vestel, one of Europe’s largest OEM electric vehicle charging solutions manufacturers, is set to launch a range of own-brand EV charging solutions in the UK.

Vestel will unveil its EV chargers at Fully Charged Live, taking place Farnborough International Exhibition Centre on 28-30 April.


The Turkish manufacturing giant has been designing, engineering and producing EV charging solutions for household name brands for over five years. From small residential chargers to the largest commercial units, a broad range of charging devices already installed in homes, car parks and service stations across the UK are ‘Powered by Vestel’.

With the European EV charging market set to grow exponentially over the next decade, Vestel is leveraging its manufacturing economies of scale to launch a range of its own brand charging solutions, set to significantly lower the cost of EV charger installation. With the new products covering home users, commercial premises and infrastructure hubs, Vestel’s capacity to produce over 700,000 EV chargers per year will underpin the move to become Europe’s leading supplier of affordable EV charging solutions.

“The EV charging market is poised to take off, with impending legislation fuelling massive growth in EV ownership across Europe, from private users to commercial vehicles and company fleets,” Matthew Lang, managing director of Vestel UK, commented.

“The need for EV charging at home, at shops and offices, and as part of the national infrastructure is increasing each day, and manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demand even now. As one of Europe’s largest electronics manufacturers with over half a decade of experience in making EV charger products for premium brands, Vestel has the expertise, capacity and scale to become a leading brand for affordable EV charging across Europe.”

With manufacturing taking place at factories across Vestel City in Turkey, the new EV charging products and the majority of their components will be made in Europe. This reduces time to market, keeps the environmental footprint to a minimum and reduces transcontinental shipping costs and impact, the business noted.

Alongside its own brand EV chargers launching in April, Vestel added that it will continue to manufacture OEM charging solutions for premium electric vehicle brands, service station networks and electricity suppliers.

Carlsberg shifts marketing focus as drinkers choose cheaper beer

Brewer Carlsberg is shifting some of its marketing focus to cheaper brands, it said on Thursday (31), as consumers in major markets bought cheaper beer and in reduced quantities.

The maker of Kronenbourg 1664, Tuborg and Somersby said beer sales volumes fell by 1.3 per cent in the third quarter, noting declines in China, France and the United Kingdom. Premium sales fell 0.5 per cent in the quarter."In Western Europe, there's no doubt that the average consumer is holding back," CEO Jacob Aarup-Andersen told Reuters.

Consumers value ethics though 'sustainability needs to be competitively priced'

Consumers now want a greater commitment from retailers in cutting food waste, refilling stations, sustainable packaging, and partnering with social purpose organisations, states a recent research, which also highlights that a good majority (69 per cent) of younger consumers are more likely to shop with what they see as socially responsible retailers though price sensitivity still plays a crucial role.

According to the findings, published in Vypr’s Consumer Horizon Report, reducing food waste is the most important factor for the majority of UK consumers (29 per cent), especially for Gen Z women aged 18-24 (38 per cent). More than a third (37 per cent) of men aged 18-24 said they needed food storage advice. A similar number of women aged 18-24 (33 per cent) want meal kits with the exact amount of ingredients included for them to cut down on food waste.
