Allstar, a division of Corpay, has partnered with the UK-based company Openreach to provide payment and tracking solutions for its electric vehicle fleet. Openreach operates more than 7 000 electric vehicles as part of a total fleet exceeding 22 000 vehicles.
The collaboration addresses the challenge of charging for engineers who cannot install home chargers, which applies to approximately one-third of the Openreach workforce. Allstar Homecharge facilitates direct payments to energy suppliers for work-related home charging, eliminating the need for employee expense claims.
For public charging, the Allstar Co-Pilot tool assists drivers in locating approved stations. Additionally, through partnerships with firms like First Charge and Voltempo, the companies are developing infrastructure tailored to commercial vehicles, featuring high-speed charging and larger bays.
The initiative includes access to bookable shared depot charging, payable via the Allstar Chargepass. This flexible approach integrates home, public, and depot charging options to support the daily operations of the engineering workforce.
