Independent EV charging infrastructure, end to end.
Burton Energy & Infrastructure helps UK landlords, fleets and developers move from “should we install chargers?” to a working, future-proof installation — without being tied to a single hardware vendor or CPO.
Most EV charging projects stall in the gap.
The hardware vendor wants to sell chargers. The contractor wants drawings. The DNO wants a connection application. The landlord wants a price. Nobody owns the question that actually matters: is this the right system for this site?
We see the same projects come back six months later, oversized, undersized, or waiting on a half-million-pound DNO upgrade nobody planned for.
Engineering rigour, plain English, no kit on the invoice.
We start with the site, the dwell time, the existing supply and the operational goals. Then we recommend the smallest, most upgradeable system that does the job — and tell you exactly what the DNO will say before you submit.
Because we don't resell hardware or take CPO commissions, the answer is the answer. It's also why we'll happily tell you when not to install chargers yet.
Services
One team across the whole project, so nothing falls between consultants, contractors and the DNO.

Project delivery
Oversight from groundworks through energisation, commissioning and handover documentation.
How an engagement runs
Lightweight at the start, deeper as the project commits.
Online feasibility
2-minute calculator gives an instant indicative report — free.
Site review
We validate assumptions on a paid fixed-fee basis: supply, civils, layout.
Design & DNO

Why independent matters
No hidden margins
We don't sell or resell chargers. You buy hardware direct, at trade prices, and own the contracts.
No CPO lock-in
We help you pick the right operator (or self-operate) — with the freedom to switch later.
Honest sizing
We'll tell you when 4 chargers is enough, even if 12 looked good on the brochure.
John Burton
EV Infrastructure Consultant
“I started this practice because too many sites were being sold chargers instead of an outcome. Every project I take on, I lead myself — from the first feasibility call to handover.”
John leads every engagement personally. His background spans electrical engineering, large-site EV charging deployments and DNO connection works, with a focus on getting workable infrastructure into the ground rather than producing reports that gather dust.
He works alongside a trusted bench of specialist sub-consultants — civils, structural, planning — brought in per project, so you get senior expertise without paying for a large agency.
Specialist sub-consultants (civils, structural, planning) are brought in per project as required.
