A new deal has been agreed to allow the Paua EV charge card and app to be used with the Applegreen Electric charging network.
The partnership will initially cover more than 250 ultra-rapid chargers across 20 Welcome Break motorway sites in the UK. Within the next 12 months, a total of 500 chargers in the UK and Ireland will be covered.
In total, Paua now covers more than 43,000 chargers at more than 14,000 locations, including 85% of UK motorway service areas.
Applegreen Electric country manager UK and Ireland Jack O’Brien said: “Paua’s values align perfectly with our own in providing access to world-class rapid EV charging to drivers. Paua’s intuitive payments options combining app, card, live fleet dashboard and a full digital integration to Applegreen Electric will be a valuable asset to our business customers across our expanding EV network in the UK.
“Through partnerships such as this, we will help to remove one of the key barriers to EV adoption for businesses of all sizes, by making it easier for drivers to find and use reliable charging points, supporting the switch to electric and empowering EV drivers to enjoy their journey.
“Partnering with Paua will also make it much more convenient for business EV users that have a Paua card to access Applegreen’s growing network of chargers.”
Paua chief executive and co-founder Niall Riddell said: “We are delighted to have signed this new partnership agreement with Applegreen Electric that will see the Paua charge card and app accepted at 500 Applegreen and Welcome Break charging points in the UK and Ireland over the next twelve months.
“Enabling the UK’s first full digital integration with Applegreen Electric underpins our vision of a technology enabled charging future for fleets providing insight to save time and money on the transition to electric.”
