Allstar Business Solutions has partnered with pan-European electric vehicle charging network Allego to expand coverage for its Allstar One Electric payment card.

The new tie-up that the Allstar One Electric charging payment card is now accepted at an additional 348 chargers across 140 locations in the UK on Allego’s charging network

It means that the charging card is now accepted at an additional 348 chargers across 140 locations in the UK on Allego’s charging network.

As well as providing increased access to charging, the tie-up will help get EV drivers back on the roads faster thanks to increased provision of fast and rapid charging. Out of the total 348 Allego chargers, 150 are fast chargers and 198 are rapid chargers, located across the South of the UK and London. Furthermore, all Allego chargers are powered by 100% renewable energy.

Paz Sharma, region manager UK & Ireland at Allego, said: “Decarbonising transport and providing clean air to our cities is a collective responsibility, which is why we are pleased to partner with Allstar Business Solutions. Together we will work to provide greater EV network access to a significant number of EV fleet operators.”

The partnership marks the latest addition to Allstar’s ever-expanding network, with other partners including Chargepoint Services, Source London, ESB Energy, Osprey (formerly known as Engenie), Alfa Power, Hubsta, Franklin LiFe, Mer and Plug-N-Go.

Paul Holland, managing director of UK Fuel at Allstar Business Solutions, added: “UK fleets are ramping up their adoption of EVs, so it is our responsibility to grow our network, making recharging on the road as simple and efficient as it is currently for petrol and diesel.

“This new partnership with Allego brings together our rapidly increasing EV customers and drivers with one of the UK’s leading electric forecourt operators. In addition, this will help us to offer greater access to charging points for drivers and help fleets accelerate to the benefits of an EV fleet.”

Allstar is also continuing its work to simplify charging on the road even further with the ability for customers to search, plan and pay for EV charging across the Allstar network through its partnership with the Zap-Map charging app, as announced last week.
