Each year on World EV Day, the spotlight shines on the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and the infrastructure that makes them practical for everyday drivers. This year, on Tuesday, 9 September, UK drivers will once again be able to plug in and charge for free at hundreds of destinations from LEGOLAND Windsor to National Trust sites and shopping outlets thanks to RAW Charging’s initiative.
It’s a reminder that the EV transition isn’t just about cars. It’s about ecosystems: charging networks, energy grids, manufacturing supply chains, and the small but crucial details that keep it all functioning smoothly.
Why Details Matter in the EV Industry
While the headlines focus on charging availability and battery ranges, behind the scenes, there’s a quieter layer of infrastructure at play. Every EV charger, every battery pack, every piece of testing equipment depends on reliable identification, traceability, and safety information.
This is where durable tags and labels step in. They may not make the front page, but without them, the EV industry would struggle to maintain compliance, user safety, and operational efficiency. From asset tags used for lifecycle tracking to weather-resistant overlays that explain how to operate a charging point, labelling solutions are an invisible backbone of the EV revolution.
Somerset at the Heart of the EV Transition
Here in Somerset, the shift toward electrification is happening on our doorstep. A new technology business park dedicated to EV battery industries is opening just 200 yards from our own UK facilities. It’s proof that the EV industry isn’t confined to big cities or automotive hubs it’s becoming part of local economies, creating opportunities for innovation and growth.
At Custom Labels Ltd, we’re proud to be part of this transformation. Our expertise in ultra-durable labels and tags allows us to serve manufacturers, infrastructure providers, and operators who need solutions that last in demanding environments.
The Overlooked Heroes: Labels and Tags
- Asset Tags: Track testing, calibration, and lifecycle data via QR code-linked databases.
- Fascia Labels (Graphic Overlays): Provide clear, user-friendly instructions on charging points.
- Durable Tags: Withstand harsh conditions, ensuring safety and compliance even in outdoor or high-use settings.
These aren’t just stickers. They’re tools for accountability, safety, and trust — the kind of small innovations that make the big EV shift possible.
Looking Ahead
World EV Day celebrates the progress we’ve made in making electric driving mainstream. But as the industry grows, so too does the importance of the invisible infrastructure: the systems, components, and details that keep everything running.
At Custom Labels, we’ll continue supporting this growth with durable tags and labels designed for the future of mobility.
If you’re working in the EV industry and need reliable labelling solutions, our Somerset-based team is ready to help.
