The Full EV, Wales’ leading OZEV-approved home EV charger installer, has partnered with Drive Green, the UK’s largest specialist EV dealership, to serve Drive Green’s customers across Bristol and the South West of England. It is The Full EV’s first formal automotive partnership in England.
The South West is one of the fastest-growing regions for EV adoption in the UK. The Full EV brings a track record of over 1,500 completed installations and a dealership partnership model proven in Wales, where referrals from automotive retailers have been a cornerstone of the company’s growth. The company has also been shortlisted for the Entreconf Awards in the Sustainability category, recognising its contribution to green energy infrastructure across Wales and the wider region.
“Every EV sold needs a home charger installed, that’s the market. Drive Green sells a lot of EVs and every one of those buyers is a potential customer for us. The South West is growing fast but the supply of accredited, capable installers hasn’t kept up, that’s the gap we’re moving into. This is the most significant step we’ve taken outside Wales and we’re backing it with our full service: home installs, commercial charging, and solar integration. Drive Green was the right first partner. It won’t be the last.”
— Leighton Davies, Director, The Full EV
Drive Green, which has traded as an EV-only dealership since 2017 and has been named EV Retailer of the Year at the Motor Trader Industry Awards in 2026 and in each of the preceding three years, includes charge points with each vehicle sale. Under the new arrangement, The Full EV manages the entire installation journey for Drive Green’s customers, site survey, install, and administration of the government’s Electric Vehicle Homecharge Scheme (EVHS), removing every obstacle between buying an EV and charging it at home.
“The home charger is the last piece of the puzzle for every EV buyer — and it’s the piece that determines whether the whole experience feels seamless or stressful. The Full EV removes that friction entirely. From the site survey to the installation to the grant administration, they handle everything. Our customers can buy with complete confidence knowing the whole journey is covered.”
— Richard Norris, CEO, Drive Green
Beyond residential installs, The Full EV is targeting the South West’s commercial and fleet market. The OZEV Workplace Charging Scheme funds up to £20,000 or 75% of costs, for businesses installing EV charging infrastructure, and closes in March 2027. The Full EV is already in conversation with commercial clients across the region ahead of that deadline.
