The AA has appointed Rightcharge as its supplier for home EV charging reimbursement and public charge cards as it looks to achieve net-zero operational emissions by 2035.
AA roadside assistance drivers can now tap the Rightcharge card to pay with company funds at 38 public charging networks.
In addition, they receive a monthly credit to their energy bill to cover the cost of charging their work vehicle.
Employees do not need to manually notify Rightcharge when they switch to a new tariff or energy provider because Rightcharge has direct integrations with the providers themselves.
This allows live data to flow to Rightcharge regardless of whether the driver has a smart meter, and removes the risk of incorrect reimbursements.
The AA can also benchmark charging costs and carbon analytics to gain valuable insights to support its sustainability and operational goals.
Fleets receive a single monthly bill – reducing the hassle of charging reimbursement – and also gain from the dashboard data on charging costs and carbon analytics, which is readily exportable for analysis.
Simon Ungless, commercial group fleet manager at the AA, said, “We were looking for a solution to accurately reimburse our EV drivers for their home charging and a wider public network. We feel Rightcharge offers the best solution available in the market.”
Charlie Cook, founder and CEO of Rightcharge, said, “This partnership marks an amazing milestone on our journey to help customers accelerate their transition to electric vehicles.
“To be supporting such an iconic British brand is exciting for the business and we are all looking forward to playing a role in the AA’s transition to a decarbonised fleet.”
