Did you know, ByteSnap has been in the green technology space since 2010?
We‘ve been helping companies in the UK and beyond to accelerate their EV charging infrastructure and develop smart energy systems for a number of years, which supports the safeguarding of our planet.
Our work has ranged from developing a control system for energy loads on behalf of a European consortium, through to the launch of our own EV charger brand, Versinetic.
Through Versinetic we consult with companies around the world to help develop greener transport infrastructure – lowering carbon emissions for the future.
We also express our commitment to the environment at ByteSnap, through longstanding employee schemes including Bike2Work and EV car leasing.
In addition, following an extensive search by ByteSnap’s directors, we have finally moved into an office space that is 100% powered by renewable energy.
Here’s the timeline of our green heritage…
- 2010-2011– MiDDaS European Project – Consortium – ByteSnap developed a demand control system that allowed power in a house to be offset using an EV as an energy store. The system allowed loads to be controlled in the house depending on grid state.
- 2011-2012 – Olympics Charging Posts – ByteSnap developed new electronics and software for GE’s EV charging posts at the Summer 2012 Games. Our new control system solution for the posts was more economical than the original and included major new features.

Into the future…
ByteSnap has a track record of green developments and strategies that have grown with us since 2010 – with a significant impact on local, national and global infrastructure networks.
By 2030 it is expected that all new cars sold in the UK will be electric. ByteSnap & Versinetic are committed and well positioned to play a leading role in this transition from carbon inefficient vehicles to an electric future.
We’re pleased to say that the sustainable area of our business represents 29% of this year’s company revenue.
Therefore, sustainability remains at the heart of our operations here at ByteSnap, as we continue to develop our commitment to making a difference and creating cleaner, greener transport and technology systems for the future.
