Fleet payment platform Corpay has partnered with depot charging provider Voltempo to improve access to electric vehicle (EV) charging for electric van and truck fleets.

Fleets will be connected through Corpay to participating depots, where charging can be paid for through existing EV charge cards, including Allstar Chargepass.

Voltempo will act as a Depot Point Operator (DPO) on behalf of depot owners, allowing spare charging capacity to be made available to other fleets.

Corpay and Voltempo will procure electricity on behalf of customers, using a bunkering-style approach to support cost certainty, while utilising their buying strength.

Voltempo operates a network of commercial vehicle depot charging locations at logistics depots, through its Depot Charging as a Service model.

It also leads the eFREIGHT 2030 consortium.

Simon Smith, CEO of Voltempo, said: “This partnership fundamentally changes how the freight industry electrifies.

“By bringing together charging infrastructure energy procurement and fleet payments into a single commercial model, we’re removing some of the biggest barriers operators face.
