Allstar joins forces with Plug Me In to simplify EV charge point installation for fleets

Fuel, EV and business expense payment provide Allstar has teamed up with energy technology solutions provider Plug Me In to help fleet operators simplify the process of installing home and workplace electric vehicle (EV) charge points.

The partnership will provide an inclusive service covering all aspects of EV charger installations including on-site surveys, charger selection and ongoing maintenance.

Plug Me In is OZEV (Office for Zero Emissions) accredited and authorised to safely install electric vehicle chargers. As part of the partnership offer, Plug Me In can liaise directly with employees throughout the whole process of installing home chargers and will also recommend charge points that are compatible with Allstar’s range of EV solutions including Allstar Homecharge. This helps simplify the payment of charging at home, with payments made directly to drivers’ energy supplier, reducing administration for fleet operators and drivers.

Ashley Tate, Allstar Chargepass UK managing director, said: “It’s become clear that the process of home charger installation has become far too convoluted, with an array of suppliers on the market, many businesses don’t know where to turn.”

But with this partnership, we will be able to significantly reduce these problems for fleets of all sizes streamlining the experience of installing home and workplace chargers.”

Andrew Stead, Plug Me In commercial director, added: "This fantastic new partnership is perfectly placed to allow Plug Me In to support Allstar’s extensive network of fleets as they adopt electric vehicles.
