Urban Fox shortlisted for Charging Destination of the Year at the Evies Awards 2024

We’re excited to announce that our flagship hub at the V&A Dundee has been shortlisted for Charging Destination of the Year at the Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards 2024.

As the industry grows, recognition like this fuels our commitment to creating unique, user-centric EV charging solutions, especially in cities like Dundee, where accessibility and urban design go hand in hand.

Located along Dundee’s scenic waterfront, the V&A Dundee hub is a standout destination in our network. Combining modern functionality with Dundee’s historic charm, it features our signature UEone retractable chargepoints. These innovative chargers retract flat and flush into the ground when not in use, reducing street clutter and ensuring accessibility for all pavement users.

Beyond supporting Dundee's clean energy goals, this site preserves the beauty of the surrounding area—a testament to our dedication to thoughtful, low-impact infrastructure.

The Urban Fox approach: Innovation meets accessibility

Our collaboration with Dundee City Council has demonstrated how forward-thinking design and urban EV charging can seamlessly integrate into communities. Each UEone chargepoint at the V&A Dundee and beyond offers:

• Flat and unobtrusive design: Chargers sit flush with the pavement when not in use, ensuring the site remains visually unobtrusive and accessible.

• Accessibility-first focus: Our UEone chargers are PAS 1899:2022 compliant, enabling easy one-handed cable use and ensuring that all residents, including those with limited mobility, can enjoy a seamless charging experience.

• Smart deployment: The chargers are strategically placed to support both local residents and visitors, making the V&A Dundee an ideal destination for EV users across the region.

Celebrating industry-wide innovation

As we reflect on our shortlisting, we’re proud to be in the company of other nominees pushing the boundaries of EV charging. The Evies Awards highlight exceptional advancements within our field, and it’s inspiring to see so many organisations driving change.

Innovation and collaboration within the EV sector are essential as we work toward net-zero goals, and we’re honoured to be recognised for our contribution.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Best of luck to the other Charging Destination of the Year nominees – your work is inspiring, and we’re excited to celebrate the incredible progress in our industry.
