About Versinetic
EV charge controller hardware and software, built on fourteen years of charge point engineering
What we do
Versinetic designs the control electronics and software inside AC electric vehicle chargers. We supply charge controller boards, load balancing hardware and charging software to EVSE manufacturers, charge point operators and installers, and we design bespoke chargers for companies who need something the standard range does not cover.
Our engineering team has been designing electric vehicle charge points since 2012, when we developed the graphical interface, metering, control and communications board for the charge posts installed at the London Olympic Games. We have worked on charge point projects continuously since, in the UK and internationally.

Where Versinetic came from
Versinetic exists because of a research project. Between 2018 and 2020, parent company ByteSnap Design worked in the VIGIL consortium alongside lead partner Nortech Management, Aston University and Grid Edge, funded by Innovate UK, the Office for Low Emission Vehicles and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
VIGIL - VehIcle to Grid Intelligent controL - produced the UK's first end to end, fully integrated vehicle to grid system, demonstrated across two sites on the Aston University campus.
It won Innovation in V2G at the 2020 Electric Vehicle Innovation and Excellence Awards.
ByteSnap's contribution was RAY, a smart charge point communications controller that provided interoperability and control of any EV charger over OCPP. RAY became MANTARAY. The project also produced the EEL, an IEC 61851 AC charge controller board. Both are still in the range today.
ByteSnap Design is a services business. Versinetic was formed as a separate, spin-out company, launched publicly at CENEX LCV in November 2020.

How we work
Versinetic is a spin out of ByteSnap Design, an embedded systems consultancy certified to ISO 9001:2015. Our hardware and software engineers work on the same projects, which is how a design gets from specification to production support without being handed between suppliers.
How we work with clientsWho we are
Versinetic is led by Dunstan Power, Managing Director and hardware lead, and Graeme Wintle, Managing Director and software lead, who also owns the LinkRay product line. Both co-founded the company in 2020.
The founding team also included Roland Bodlovic as Technical Director, who served until 2025, Robert Meeks as Head of Sales, and Catherine Power as Finance Director until 2023.
Dunstan is a chartered electronics engineer with over thirty years in the industry and a Cambridge degree in electronics engineering. He co-founded ByteSnap Design in 2008 with Graeme, and together they launched Versinetic during the 2020 lockdown.
