Founded in 2018, ev.energy set out with a clear mission: to make electric vehicle charging simpler, greener, and more affordable for everyone.

By downloading our app, drivers can easily charge their vehicles overnight while we work quietly in the background. Our smart-charging algorithm leverages real-time data to align charging sessions with energy from renewable sources. The grid is under increasing strain from EV charging at peak times - we're already working with over 40 utilities across North America and Europe to help them reduce this demand.

Our team, now over 100 strong, brings together expertise from National Grid, Tesla, Google, and Amazon among others. Backed by over $50 million in funding from top VCs including National Grid Partners, WEX Venture Capital, Energy Impact Partners, and JLR’s InMotion Ventures, we’re on a mission to drive meaningful change.

Join us in shaping a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable future.

The role

We are looking for a Technical Support Agent to support the delivery and execution of some of our residential EV charging programs, following our commercial success and grant wins. You’ll be supporting our utility and CCA partners across the US and Canada as they launch and grow residential EV charging programs. This ultimately helps EV drivers save money; enables energy on the grid to be used more efficiently; and in reducing carbon emissions it benefits the environment too. You’d own support for one of our utility programs in the US, reporting to the CS Team Lead. Please note you'd be working 1-10pm UK time shifts.

What will you be doing?

  • Assisting our EV drivers participating in managed charging programs - liaising between our clients, the utilities, as well as our Program Managers and the EV drivers directly

  • Resolving any issues EV drivers face via phone, email or chat support as they participate in utility programs related to charging, data collection and incentive administration

  • Calculating and administering any financial incentives owed to EV drivers on behalf of utilities

  • Collaborating with other teams as needed (Engineering, Product) regarding feedback on new features or for escalated troubleshooting

  • Keeping our database of energy rates and prices up to date to make sign-up as simple as possible for our drivers

  • Suggesting improvements to our support processes and ways of working as we scale

What are we looking for?

  • Previous experience supporting customers, ideally in a software company supporting app users - any experience in our industry specifically is a ‘nice to have’ but not an essential

  • Excellent communication skills - you’ll be able to articulate well over email, chat and phone support, and translate what people are saying vs what they really mean

  • Experience consistently hitting past targets and achieving high CSAT scores - you’ll be able to proactively manage your workload and bring motivation and energy into your role

  • Fluency speaking and writing English - any additional languages are a ‘nice to have’ but not essential

  • Passion for addressing climate change - you don’t need to have worked in energy or the EV sector (although this is a nice to have), but you certainly need to care about our product and what we’re aiming to achieve!

  • Someone based in the UK who is comfortable working 1pm - 10pm GMT shifts to align with US customers

How will we support you?

  • Work remotely and work well - we'll provide the tools you need to do your best (including a Macbook Pro), as well as access to co-working spaces

  • Access to conferences, meet-ups and training through our L&D allowance

  • A structured career progression framework and advancement opportunities

  • Depending on location - health insurance, 401(k) or pension, paid parental leave, life insurance

  • 25 days holiday plus public holidays

  • Annual team gatherings - in previous years the whole company has spent a week together in the UK

  • 100% charity matching to help spread good!

If you don’t have all of the requirements, but you’re really interested in what we’re doing - please apply anyway! We value applicants regardless of their background or years of experience. We'll also do our best to accommodate reasonable adjustments to the interview process if needed.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity: we do not discriminate based on race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status or disability status. If you'd like a copy of our DE&I policy you can reach us at hiring@ev.energy.

Founded in 2018 by Nick Woolley and Chris Darby, ev.energy embarked on a mission to simplify the electric vehicle charging experience, making it greener and more cost-effective for everyone. What began as a bootstrapped venture quickly evolved, fueled by a shared passion for harmonizing EV charging with the energy grid. The company recognized the inherent challenges EV owners faced and set out to develop a smart, cloud-based platform to automatically optimize charging. This innovative approach aimed to align charging sessions with periods of high renewable energy generation and low grid demand, thereby reducing both carbon emissions and energy costs for drivers.

The journey saw ev.energy transition from a friends-and-family backed initiative to an institutionally supported start-up, and eventually, into an organized scale-up. Along this path, the company has consistently focused on its core values of sustainability and user-centric design. Their platform ingests real-time data from various sources, employing a proprietary smart-charging algorithm to intelligently manage EV charging. This not only benefits individual drivers but also supports the stability of the broader energy grid, a critical factor as EV adoption continues to surge. ev.energy's commitment to its mission has been recognized through numerous accolades, including being named 'World's Best Energy Start-Up' in the Free Electrons programme. As a certified B Corporation, the company meets high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability, underscoring their dedication to creating a positive impact on the planet and society. With a growing team spread across Europe and North America, ev.energy continues to expand its partnerships with utilities, automotive manufacturers, and charger providers, driving towards a future where EV charging is seamlessly integrated into a cleaner energy ecosystem.
