At EV-Cables.co.uk — the UK EV-charging-cable site with the most colour choice, shipping globally — we’ve learned something simple: colour matters. Your cable isn’t just a tool; it’s an accessory that should look at home with your car (or your wrap) and be easy to spot when you’re packing up after a charge.
In 2025 we broadened the palette with two customer-requested additions:
-
Electric Blue — that vibrant, modern “EV blue”
-
Mid-tone Grey — a sleek, understated neutral that matches countless paint shades
Now we’re planning our 2026 drop — and we want you to choose what lands next.

Back in 2019, When EVSTOR First Started
Back in 2019, when EVSTOR first started, the UK’s public EV charging network looked very different. Electric vehicles were still a niche choice, and finding a reliable rapid charger on a long journey could feel like a treasure hunt. At that time, there were only around 15,100 public charging devices nationwide, and many of those were slow or outdated units.
EVSTOR was founded at this pivotal moment, when EV adoption was starting to grow but infrastructure simply hadn’t caught up yet. Range anxiety wasn’t just about how far your car could go on a single charge — it was about whether you could find a charger at all, especially one powerful enough to get you back on the road quickly.
