Fleet solutions provider Rivus is to offer the Allstar One Electric card and Allstar Homecharge solution to its customers to streamline charging for EV drivers.
The partnership will enable Rivus customers to access Allstar’s growing multi-branded electric charging network as part of the company’s Electric Vehicles as a Service (EVaaS) proposition.
Allstar One Electric provides users with access to more than 5,700 charge points in over 2,200 locations nationwide, including 1,800 rapid and 3,500 fast chargers, and over 90% of fuel sites. It can also be teamed up with Allstar’s recently launched Homecharge home charging payments solution, giving fleet managers a holistic view of drivers’ charging sessions on the road and at home. It provides consolidated billing, accurate driver settlement and management reporting, through an app and an online fleet dashboard.
Sarah Gray, head of alternative fuel vehicles at Rivus, explained: “Charging can be one of the most complicated parts of running an electric fleet. With multiple public EV charging networks and apps, different home charge point manufacturers and driver reimbursement options, it is a lot to manage. Coordinating this can be a challenge and can potentially impact the transition to EV for many businesses.
“We identified through our consultation that Allstar’s EV charge card and charging solutions can manage this for you. We are really pleased to partner with Allstar and offer this as part of our ongoing strategy to support the adoption of and transition to EV.”
Laura Lancaster, VP of EV sales and partnerships at Allstar Business Solutions, said the tie-up would help fleets transition to EV and simplify charging at home and on the road.
“We do this by providing businesses visibility of home and on the road charging across their fleet, with all charging costs coming through on one consolidated invoice, reducing administration for businesses and drivers.”
She added: “We have further simplified charging on the road with the ability for the Allstar One Electric card to be added as a payment method in the Zap-Map app, giving drivers enhanced features to search, plan and pay for charging across the Allstar electric charging network.”
