What Indra Renewable Technologies does

Indra Renewable Technologies is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of smart home EV chargers, headquartered in Malvern, Worcestershire, and founded in 2013 as a spin-out from a leading UK energy supplier. Its core product line consists of two 7.4kW home chargers — the Smart PRO (socketed, from £899 installed) and the Smart LUX (tethered, from £1,025 installed) — differentiated by tariff interoperability across the UK's five largest energy suppliers (Octopus, OVO, ScottishPower, EDF, E.ON Next), solar integration, bundled surge protection, and an over-the-air-updatable firmware architecture. Above the standard range, Indra has pioneered bidirectional Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) chargers — launching the world's first domestic V2G unit in 2018 and reaching production-ready V2G status in February 2026 — with over 1,000 V2X units manufactured and CHAdeMO / Nissan Approved certifications.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market: direct e-commerce to consumers (with standard installation bundled), a UK-wide certified installer network fed through national wholesale distributors, and B2B partnerships with energy suppliers, automotive OEMs (Nissan, Renault, Mobilize, Norton), the UK's largest homebuilder (Persimmon Homes), and fleet operators (Allstar). Revenue is generated primarily from one-time hardware sales plus installation services, augmented by 12-month 0% financing and Klarna Pay-in-3 options at checkout. The company has raised over £20M in a Series B led by Gulf Oil International (March 2023) and is led by a strengthened executive team (CEO Adrian Moores, CFO Anthony Jones, Founder/CTO Mike Schooling), with active sales across the UK and a foothold in Ireland via SEAI Triple E certification.

Revenue model

1. EV Charger Hardware Sales: One-time sale of physical EV charger units (Smart PRO and Smart LUX models) to consumers, installers, and B2B partners. Price includes standard installation for consumers. Chargers are available as tethered (Smart LUX) or socketed (Smart PRO) units. B2B pricing offered to installers at 'installer-first pricing' through direct purchase or national wholesalers.
2. Professional Installation Services: Standard professional installation is included in the consumer charger price. Non-standard installations incur additional quoted costs. Installation is delivered by a network of certified electricians.
3. Financing / Payment Plans: Indra offers 12-month 0% interest payment option and Klarna Pay-in-3 at checkout, enabling consumers to spread charger and installation costs over time. This is a financing arrangement rather than a core revenue stream.
