Mina has launched a new subscription solution bundling up the use of domestic charge points, home charging payments and access to a public charging network in a simple monthly fee for fleets with EV drivers.

Onefleet packages domestic charge points, home charging payments and access to a public charging network under one simple monthly fee

Called Mina Onefleet, the ‘plug-to-payment’ service makes the EV transition even easier for businesses, enabling them to spread the cost of installing home chargers for employees, rather than having to commit to a major initial capital outlay.

The all-in-one service covers all aspects of EV driver charging, providing a solution for home chargers, installations, payment for domestic charging, access to approved public networks, invoicing, cost control and reporting.

It’s priced at £49 per month (+VAT) plus a £100 set-up fee per driver and with a minimum 24-month term.

The service includes use of an Indra Smart Pro EV home charger, fully installed and maintained by charging expert Plug Me In and supported by access to the Mina Homecharge service – which provides accurate payments for employees charging at their homes.

Onefleet also includes access to Mina Chargepass – billed as the UK’s largest public EV business charging network and providing access to more than 10,000 chargers through the Allstar and InstaVolt networks.

Users also get a business charging guarantee which offers free public EV charging if servicing work on the home charger is delayed. Finally, the company benefits from a single monthly invoice, covering Onefleet subscription costs and energy consumed for all drivers.

Ashley Tate, CEO of Mina, said: “With more and more businesses switching to EVs, it is clear they need support in providing a ‘plug-to-payment’ charging infrastructure for their employees.

“The complexities of approving and ordering home chargers, managing installation and costs, and then taking responsibility for the equipment for employees, and potentially ex-employees, is endless. That’s before you even get to managing in-life costs and paying drivers for their charging at home and in public.

“At a stroke, Onefleet aims to solve all these issues, and because it is based on a subscription, it also avoids the company having to make a massive financial outlay for multiple home chargers and the engineers to install them.”

“For a fixed monthly fee, a business can ensure their employees have a reliable home charger which is covered by a service guarantee, plus make use of our award-winning Chargepass and Homecharge payment solutions. And if an employee moves home, the charger can be reinstalled at the employee’s new address free of charge.”

Tate continued: “We’ve designed Onefleet to be affordable – at less than £50 per month per driver, a business can ensure its drivers are fully up to speed with everything needed to switch to electric vehicles.”
