Fleets using the Paua roaming EV charging network can now access charge points on the Liberty Charge network, spanning some 650 charge point sockets.

It’s the latest charge point network to integrate with the Paua charging payment solution, which now has over 20 networks aggregated into a solution covering 19,000+ charge point connectors.

Liberty Charge specialises in street-level micro hubs – intended to level the playing field for those without access to driveway charging opportunities while also filling in the gaps in public sector charging provision. Recent research by the firm highlighted the chronic under-resourcing of local authority EV infrastructure and associated plans – only two-thirds of authorities had a plan and only 14% had a dedicated EV infrastructure resource, according to its report.

Paua customers will now be able to access Liberty Charge’s locations via their tap-and-go card, backed up by a mobile app that shows live status across the networks, as well as providing charging updates.

Liberty Charge’s network is also entirely powered by renewables, aligning to Paua’s target for all electricity used with its network partners to be 100% renewable and therefore zero emission.

“Liberty Charge offers a truly end-to-end privately funded solution, including the full range of charging speeds. Working with Paua ensures that we cater for businesses as well as local residents. We are excited to see what this partnership can do to support British businesses’ transition to zero emissions transport,” said Neil Isaacson, CEO of Liberty Charge.

Niall Riddell, co-founder and CEO of Paua, commented: “Paua is delighted to be working with Liberty Charge on this journey. This continues to confirm Paua’s position as the largest roaming network in the UK for businesses. We look forward to supporting fleets of all shapes and sizes onto our roaming platform.”
