Corpay business Allstar has launched a new charging offer for HGV and LCV fleets which combines access to public and semi-private charging infrastructure through a single integrated payment solution.
The Allstar Commercial Charging Payment Network has two complementary access models, including an open-access public network, with partners such as Gridserve Electric Freightway, Fleete and InstaVolt.
This runs alongside a controlled-access semi-private network of locations, featuring partners such as Voltempo and First Charge, and restricted to approved fleet users.
Infrastructure partners have been selected for site suitability, including factors such as the availability of pull-through bays, wide turning spaces and high-power charging capable of supporting larger battery systems, including Megawatt Charging Systems (MCS).
Sites are positioned along key logistics corridors to support planned routes and shift patterns, while selected semi-private locations can be pre-booked at selected locations to help reduce queuing, route deviation and operational disruption.
The semi-private access model offers operators a practical alternative to depot charging infrastructure, with bookable sites, controlled-access charging at partner sites, without the capital cost and complexity of developing their own charging estate.
Tom Rowlands, Managing Director of Global EV Solutions, Corpay including UK brand Allstar, said, “Commercial fleets do not just need access to charging but they need infrastructure that fits around the realities of running a fleet.
“For many operators, the choice has been between public charging infrastructure that is not designed for larger commercial vehicles, or the significant investment needed to build dedicated depot infrastructure.
“We are giving fleets another option: scalable charging access designed around operational requirements, without the cost and complexity of building and managing their own charging estate.”
