The ultimate aim of the collaboration is to create an integrated system for sale across Rolec's existing and AFC emerging network of EV charging distributors and customers.
AFC chief executive Adam Bond said: “Our collaboration with Rolec is a recognition of the industry's desire to explore off grid EV charging solutions to meet a need already seen across several of Rolec's local and international clients.
“AFC Energy's EV charger is now one of our key markets for revenue generation and gives us an early mover advantage in penetrating the off-grid market."
