Fleets are facing new and differing problems when paying for EV charging.

But there are solutions.

The UK has more than 20 domestic energy suppliers, each with multiple tariffs and price ranges. Also, there are in excess of 50 public charging providers and more than 33,000 charge points too, often with varying costs and payment methods. The consequence is drivers have a huge variety of choice, pricing and ways to pay for EVs.

With more than one place to charge, for fleets, this means risk of losing control of costs, complex administration and, when businesses are trying to ascertain the viability of EVs, such confusion is unhelpful.

Drivers also must calculate the cost of home charging based on their own business mileage and tariffs.

Employees can also suffer ‘bill shock’ – having to pay for unexpected, higher, home energy costs – when they first run an EV.

For public charging, they need to provide receipts to reclaim costs and suppliers often use different formats, such as paper, apps or email.

Allstar can help solve these issues, ensuring a fleet can easily pay for drivers’ home charging and access public charging too, making the transition to EVs streamlined and insightful.

The Allstar One Electric card provides access to a nationwide multi-brand network of charging sites. Combined with Allstar Homecharge, powered by Mina, Allstar can accurately settle the costs for driver’s EV home charging, with payments made directly to energy providers.

Drivers don’t have to submit receipts, and avoid ‘bill shock’ too, helping to simplify recharging and streamlining payments with consolidated billing, and reporting for all charging transactions.
