Testimonials
We have been bowled over by the service we've received from the guys at Cosmic. Our EV charging project for the apartment block had been stalling on and off for over 4 years when we found Cosmic. They quickly came in, took the time to listen and understand our needs and challenges, then came back with a complete design for the project which exactly met (and indeed exceeded!) our requirements.
They have been a joy to work with - responsive, pro-active and clearly energised in their work. They show a strong understanding of both the industry and the specific challenges of retro-fit apartment charging and as a result their insights have been very helpful in keeping our flat owners informed and engaged.
Happy to recommend this team!
