Allstar has expanded its electric charging network under a new partnership with long-stay charging specialist Connected Kerb.

Allstar’s One Electric fuel and charge card is now accepted at an extra 912 long-stay chargers across 189 locations on Connected Kerb’s charging network

The tie-up means Allstar’s One Electric combined fuel and electric charging card is now accepted at an additional 912 long-stay chargers across 189 locations on Connected Kerb’s UK charging network.

The collaboration expands Allstar’s on-the-road proposition to those that need to charge their fleet vehicles overnight but do not have access to at-home charging facilities.

Connected Kerb’s proposition is aimed specifically at ‘long-dwell’ charging and its charge points are found mainly on roadside and in residential areas, as well as in hotel carparks and leisure parks.

Allstar said the tie-up marked a crucial milestone for its network, further helping fleet operators and their employees to make the switch to EV.

Tom Rowlands, managing director, global EV solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, commented: “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.”

Chris Pateman-Jones, CEO of Connected Kerb, added: “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.”

Connected Kerb brings Allstar’s overall network to more than 8,400 charge points at over 3,000 locations. Other partners include Geniepoint, Source London, ESB Energy, Osprey, Alfa Power, Franklin LiFe, Mer, Plug-N-Go, Charge My Street, Allego and Gridserve.
