Paua has expanded its roaming network for EV charging yet again under a new tie-up with ESB Energy.

By partnering with charging networks, Paua provides fleets with access to charge points throughout the UK via a single app and EV charge card

ESB’s fast-growing network covers more than 543 rapid connectors across London, Coventry and most recently Birmingham. It will also further expand its network across the UK following a recent agreement with the EV Network and Zood Infrastructure (a subsidiary of Sustainable Development Capital Limited).

This partnership takes Paua’s national network to over 18,000 live charge point connectors – said to make it the largest aggregated network for business drivers in the UK. It also particularly enhances city centre coverage, while ESB Energy’s 100% renewable powered network further helps fleets cut emissions.

John Byrne, head of ESB Energy EV Solutions, commented: “Supporting customers on the transition to zero-emissions transport is core to the thesis of ESB Energy. As we continue to build out our charging network across the UK, we are delighted to be joining the experienced team at Paua on this journey.”

By partnering with charging networks, Paua provides fleets with access to charge points throughout the UK via a single app and EV charge card to drivers, overcoming the challenges of charging.

Fleets pay a simple subscription to access the service and pay for charging at the network’s prevailing rate. A harmonised VAT receipt for all charging ensures fleets save 20% on the public charging costs.

Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder of Paua, said: “We have been living and breathing the energy transition for years now. Our team are experienced and well equipped to simplify the experience that drivers need as entire fleets transition to electric motoring. We look forward to supporting more businesses on the transition with Paua everywhere.”
