The partnership means fleets using the Allstar One Electric fuel/charge card can now access InstaVolt’s 1,100 chargers, spread across 500+ locations and including 440 rapid chargers and 660 ultra-rapids.

This takes the total Allstar network to over 11,000 charge points across more than 4,000 locations, of which 93% of chargers are fast, rapid and ultra-rapid.

The deal makes the transition to EVs simpler and more reliable for UK fleets. InstaVolt has big plans for further network expansion too; it’s working towards a target of 10,000 rapid EV chargers by 2030, focused on reliability and ease of use.

Adrian Keen, CEO of InstaVolt, commented: “I’ve been talking to Allstar for a number of years to find a solution to bring InstaVolt charging to Allstar customers across the UK, and I’m thrilled that our partnership is now a reality. InstaVolt’s ambition is to make public rapid charging easy and accessible to all, and that perfectly aligns with Allstar’s vision of bringing public charging infrastructure to fleets, across the UK, in a painless manner.”

It’s the latest strategic tie-up announced by Allstar, which is continuing work to bolster its EV charging network, as well as aiming to double the size of the network by the end of this year, equating to an additional 10,000 charge points.

Tom Rowlands, GM of global EV solutions at Allstar parent Fleetcor, said: “The partnership gives our customers peace of mind that we’re continuing to expand our network, particularly with rapid and ultra-rapid charge points, so that our fleet drivers can charge quickly and be on their way.”
