Mina expands network through partnership with Allstar

Mina has announced the expansion of its network through partners Allstar Business Solutions, as Allstar confirms a strategic partnership with Gridserve.

Drivers on the Mina Chargepass network can now charge at Gridserve locations, using one RFID card.

Having added the Electric Highway network to its list, Gridserve includes more than 150 charging locations, covering 85% of the UK’s motorway network.

Chris Dalrymple, managing director (MD) at Mina, said: “Providing customers with a fast and reliable network forms a key part of our strategy, and partnering with Allstar has enabled us to supercharge this through their ever-expanding network.

“Bringing on Gridserve will increase the number of high-speed chargers within the Mina Chargepass network dramatically. This will help to alleviate any excess idle time for drivers that are using our locations to charge their company EV whilst out on the road. A great bonus for businesses on our platform.”

Part of the Allstar Network alongside the InstaVolt network, a Mina Chargepass card now allows access to almost 7,500 public charge points across over 2,900 locations, of which almost 44% have rapid and ultra-rapid charging speeds.

Tom Rowlands, MD, global EV solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Gridserve as its first and only partner to offer contactless card acceptance for fleets and provide a unique proposition for our customers.

“What makes this more thrilling is that by proxy it enhances the offering of our long standing and valued partner Mina, and in turn benefits its customers too.

“By collaborating and sharing in our vision, together we are creating a vast network that will continue to grow and serve businesses across the UK long into the future.”
