Zapgo, one of the UK’s fastest-growing rapid charging networks, has partnered with EV charging platform Paua to expand rapid charging access for UK fleets.

Zapgo’s network of rapid chargers is now available through the Paua charge card and app, giving businesses easier access to high-speed charging.

This includes more remote regions where reliable rapid charging has historically been limited. Zapgo’s continued expansion across regional and remote communities makes the network an ideal fit for fleets travelling long distances or operating outside major metropolitan hubs.

Fleet operators will now be able to locate, access and pay for Zapgo charging sessions through Paua’s platform, simplifying EV adoption while ensuring drivers stay charged and on the move.

Jo Moffatt, head of network at Zapgo, said: “Our partnership with Paua is a significant step forward in supporting the UK’s commercial EV sector. As fleet electrification gathers pace, it’s vital that drivers have convenient access to dependable rapid charging no matter where they are, including in rural and hard to reach areas. Together with Paua, we’re making that easier than ever.”

Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder at Paua, said: “Zapgo joining the Paua platform is a strong signal of where the fleet charging market is heading. Businesses want simple access to the right chargers in the right places, and Zapgo’s growing network of rapid chargers is exactly what many of our customers have been asking for.

“We’re seeing record numbers of fleets moving to electric and they depend on reliable charging when operating at pace across towns, cities and rural routes. Our shared focus with Zapgo on making EV charging effortless for drivers gives fleets more confidence to electrify faster and operate more sustainably.”

Paua’s EV charging network for fleets now spans more than 69,000 charge point connectors and is said to include the country’s broadest mix of rapid and eHGV-ready sites. Paua’s services include public charging access and home reimbursement, backed by “powerful” controls, dashboard APIs and a salary sacrifice solution.
