A popular electric car charging company has announced that it will be entering administration following "challenging" trading conditions in recent years.
EO Charging appointed joint administrators from PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) in April under the trading name of Juuce Limited.
The company has manufactured more than 85,000 chargers and deployed 13,000 commercial charging stations across more than 35 countries around the world.
More than 100,000 chargers have been deployed by EO Charging, with over 10,000 fleet charge points under management by the company.
PwC said the company had been dealing with difficult trading conditions after it launched an overseas expansion into the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Italy.
In the second half of last year, the loss-making company scaled back to the UK and refocused on its cloud-based charging management platform.
Additional funding was provided to the company by shareholders, in addition to a successful funding round in the autumn of last year.
However, "liquidity challenges" resurfaced, and an accelerated merger and acquisition process commenced in January 2026, although this was unsuccessful.
EO Charging has gone into administration, prompting the loss of 69 jobs

As a result of the lack of a transaction, the company did not have any viable options but to enter administration.
Edward Williams, Ross Connock and Victoria Hatton have been appointed by PwC to oversee the operations of EO Charging.
Once administrators were appointed, 69 of EO Charging's 93 employees were made redundant.
The remaining employees will be "retained for a short time" to provide assistance with the winding down of operations.

PwC confirmed that the joint administrators would support affected employees in making claims to the Redundancy Payments Service.
This Government status helps workers whose former employer has gone insolvent to recoup money, including wages, holiday and commission.
Edward Williams, joint administrator and partner at PwC, said: "It's regrettable that the Company has been left with no option but to enter administration and that 69 employees have sadly been made redundant."
He added that administrators would be working alongside customers to "smoothly transition to alternative suppliers with the support of the remaining employees".

From this point, the company will be wound down in an orderly manner as EO charging "seek to optimise the value of its assets".
Globally, EO charging works with the likes of Microsoft, Tesco, NCP car parks, DHL, Sainsbury's, the Co-op, UPS and Amazon.
UK-based charging provider, Pod, confirmed that it would be acquiring EO Charging in May to expand its commercial fleet and energy management capabilities.
Melanie Lane, CEO of Pod, said the decision to acquire EO Charging was an "exciting moment" for fleet electrification and would aid Pod's expansion towards smarter electric charging.
