Global commerce platform Wex has announced it is to expand its EV charging solution for commercial fleets in Europe to new countries, including the UK.
Now live in five markets – including Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France – the EV charging platform, which includes both ‘En Route’ and ‘At-Home’ solutions, is due to launch in Italy and the UK later this year.
The platform helps businesses to manage their EV fleets, with reports tailored to simplify operations, provide insights into charging activity, and streamline billing and driver management.
Drivers can also use the ‘EV Driver by Wex’ app, which provides access to more than 830,000 charge points across Europe.
It enables drivers to locate charging stations, start and stop charging sessions, view charging station availability and pricing and track charging history.
Also, Plug&Charge-enabled vehicles automatically authorise charging sessions without requiring manual interactions or the use of an RFID charge card.
Adam Woolway, VP, head of global design, EV at Wex, said the firm’s solutions offer a unified charging software experience.
He added, “The demand for EVs in commercial fleets is rapidly growing as businesses increasingly adopt greener practices and cutting-edge technology.
“However, complexities around charging can act as a deterrent. Our new EV solution is designed to fuel simplicity and meet our customers wherever they are on their mixed energy journey.
“By bridging the global EV gap, fleet managers can focus on reaping both the environmental and economic benefits of the energy transition.
“The extension of our charging solution across Europe is the result of our continued investment in cutting-edge technologies.”
