Allstar Business Solutions has announced its latest partnership, with Connected Kerb adding a further 912 long stay chargers across 189 locations to its growing UK network.

Connected Kerb is aimed specifically at long stay charging and their charge points are found mainly on roadside and in residential areas, as well as in hotel carparks and leisure parks.

The partnership allows Allstar to expand its on the road offering to those that need to charge their fleet vehicles overnight but do not have access to at-home charging facilities.

Currently, 60% of UK residents do not have access to a driveway or have the ability to install a charger at home, potentially deterring the adoption of EVs.

Therefore, says Allstar, this partnership is crucial milestone for its network to be able to offer long stay charging.

Tom Rowlands, managing director for global EV solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “As the UK’s fleets continue to transition to EVs, it is crucial that we continue to enhance our proposition to account for customers with long stay charging needs.

“This new alliance with Connected Kerb provides our customers with a low power, low cost and low impact residential solution, reducing driver anxiety as their vehicle will be able to charge fully overnight and reduce potentially timely on-the-road charging breaks.”

Connected Kerb brings Allstar’s overall charge point total up to more than 8,400 with more than 3,000 locations.

Allstar’s electric charging network now includes: Geniepoint, Source London, ESB Energy, Osprey, Alfa Power, Franklin LiFe, Mer, Plug-N-Go, Charge My Street, Allego and Gridserve.

Not only will the addition of Connected Kerb substantially increase Allstar’s network size, but it will further drive inclusivity for those drivers that do not have the ability to recharge their vehicles at home, it says.

Chris Pateman-Jones, CEO of Connected Kerb, said: “With a focus on providing affordable, reliable and accessible long-dwell charging point infrastructure across the UK, we aim to promote and accelerate the adoption of EVs and speed up the transition to a more sustainable future.

“Of course, we cannot do this alone, which is why we are delighted to partner with Allstar to increase EV adoption amongst the UK’s fleets.”
