Fleet charging partnership to offer exclusive driver savings

New electric vehicle (EV) charging company Source has agreed a deal with Paua to enable its customers to use Source's charging hubs and secure an exclusive discount.

The agreement means that Paua drivers will be able to charge at Source’s ultra-rapid hubs with a tap of their Paua card and receive increasing discounts for their usage.

Paua says that fleet drivers can now unlock exclusive savings – worth more than £500 per vehicle annually – through the new partnership. 

Source plans to open 300 ultra-rapid charging hubs across the UK and Ireland over the next five years. All Source’s hubs will feature a number of 150KW chargers.

Working with Paua in this way, Source aims to ensure that they can offer best in class services to business drivers.

Paua offers the discount service for fleets charging at Source hubs subject to agreement with Source.

The fleet customer provides permission to share usage data and Paua will analyse this usage data captured to provide insights to Source, which Source can then use to offer discounts that suit that customers’ charging behaviour.

This means the more they charge at a Source hub, the more they save, says Paua.

Source plans to use this to improve services to business customers and enhance the roll out of charging hubs.

Alice Aprile-Smith, head of partnerships and business development at Source, said: “By utilising Paua's one-bill approach, fleets can charge throughout the month and access bigger discounts by charging more frequently with Source.

“We are working with existing Paua customers and use their charging insights to offer a more bespoke approach.”

Paua users already have access to more than 45 charging providers including 80% of all rapid chargers in the country, while also offering home reimbursement services and the ability to share private depots.

Niall Riddell, co-founder and CEO of Paua Tech, said: “To rapidly move businesses into electric vehicles we need a range of services and solutions to support this transition.

“Partnering with Source does two critical things; ensures that businesses have the best possible charging locations through sharing insights and drives down costs for business drivers.

“We are excited to see what we can do for these drivers and businesses to reduce climate impacts and improve local air quality.”
