Zapgo, the rapid charging network, has partnered with Paua, the aggregator of electric vehicle (EV) charging for fleets and businesses.
This partnership makes Zapgo’s network of rapid chargers available to fleet drivers across the UK, to give businesses easier access to high-speed charging, particularly in more remote regions.
By joining the Paua network, Zapgo will capture the increasing volume of passing fleet traffic, which it said is a market that is accelerating rapidly as businesses transition to EVs.
Fleet operators will now be able to locate, access, and pay for Zapgo charging sessions through Paua’s platform.
Jo Moffatt, head of network at Zapgo, said: “Our partnership with Paua is a significant step forward in supporting the UK’s commercial EV sector.
“As fleet electrification gathers pace, it’s vital that drivers have convenient access to dependable rapid charging no matter where they are, including in rural and hard to reach areas.
“Together with Paua, we’re making that easier than ever.”
Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder at Paua, added: “Zapgo joining the Paua platform is a strong signal of where the fleet charging market is heading.
“Businesses want simple access to the right chargers in the right places, and Zapgo’s growing network of rapid chargers is exactly what many of our customers have been asking for.
“We’re seeing record numbers of fleets moving to electric and they depend on reliable charging when operating at pace across towns, cities and rural routes.
“Our shared focus with Zapgo on making EV charging effortless for drivers gives fleets more confidence to electrify faster and operate more sustainably.”
Paua operates more than 69,000 charge point connectors, including a mix of rapid and eHGV-ready sites.
Paua offers fleets public access, home reimbursement, controls, dashboard API’s and a salary sacrifice solution to help customers as they decarbonise their businesses.
