Holman partners with ChargedEV to enhance fleet home charging

Holman is enhancing its home charging offering by partnering with electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure provider ChargedEV.

The leasing and fleet management specialist believes that home charging - when paired with the right home energy tariff - is the most cost-effective option for fleets.

It estimates that it is around three times cheaper than depot or workplace charging, and more than 10 times cheaper than public rapid charging.

Holman’s partnership with ChargedEV provides a fully managed, end-to-end home charging solution tailored to specific fleet needs.

To select a new provider, Holman undertook a full tender process involving a complete review of the UK home charging market, engaging with multiple home charge point manufacturers directly as well as multiple install providers.

ChargedEV’s ability to simplify and manage the process of selecting, installing, and maintaining chargers for customers, as well as employing the largest dedicated and nationwide network of over 50 electricians, were seen as crucial points of difference.

“We were impressed with the strength of ChargedEV’s offering, especially having their own employees carry out every install rather than subcontracting this element,” said Ross Palman, project lead for electric vehicles, at Holman.

“As a result, installations are completed to a very high standard and include ultra cabling and surge protection devices as standard.”

Andrew Pealin, commercial director at ChargedEV, added: “We’re proud to be partnering with Holman to support their customers on the journey to electrification.

“Together, we’ve developed a seamless and fully managed home charging solution tailored to the needs of fleet operators.

“From streamlined onboarding and driver communications to installation and ongoing support, this partnership ensures a high quality experience at every step, helping businesses make the switch to electric vehicles with confidence and ease."

For Holman’s fleet customers, critical factors of the partnership with ChargedEV included chargers having full compatibility with the most competitive EV home energy tariffs and reimbursement providers, alongside tailored driver communications and customer payment models.

Together with Holman, ChargedEV has also created a bespoke knowledge hub to answer all queries around the process, products and offering for fleet managers and drivers.

Palman said: “Solving the complex issues of paying for and installing home chargers is a key electrification challenge, especially for fleets with commercial vehicles.

“We believe that the offering created between Holman and ChargedEV is the most advanced of its kind on the market, and allows every type of business to put systems in place that suits their particular needs.”
