AA selects Rightcharge for charging reimbursement

The AA has selected Rightcharge as its supplier for home charging reimbursement and the Rightcharge public charge card.

AA drivers can now tap the Rightcharge card to pay with company funds at 38 public charging networks. Drivers also receive a monthly credit to their energy bill to cover the cost of charging their work vehicle.

Rightcharge offers an accurate home reimbursement solution with employees not needing to manually notify Rightcharge when they switch to a new tariff or energy provider because the firm has direct integrations with the providers themselves.

This allows live data to flow to Rightcharge, whether or not the driver has a smart meter, and removes the risk of incorrect reimbursements. Fleets choose Rightcharge to eliminate complexities, reduce barriers, and simplify their charging and cost processes to accelerate their EV transition.

The AA, the UK’s largest motoring organisation, is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2035. In this significant step towards sustainability, The AA has partnered with Rightcharge to equip its operational vans with a public and home charging solution.

This collaboration will enable The AA’s roadside assistance teams to remain mobile and efficient while embracing environmentally friendly practices.

Rightcharge’s extensive public charging network spans across Europe, providing employees with easy access to a public charger at all times, be it a lamppost or an ultra-rapid charger.

Businesses receive a single monthly bill with the service, reducing accounting complexities. They can also access a comprehensive dashboard providing granular data on charging costs and carbon analytics, which is readily exportable for easy 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:

“We are delighted to welcome The AA to Rightcharge. 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.”
