UK EV charging payment platform for businesses Paua has partnered with Powerverse as they aim to make home charging simpler for fleets.
The partnership will give Paua customers access to Powerverse’s home chargers and installation services, extending the range of solutions available through Paua Reimburse.
Paua and Powerverse will assist fleet operators manage the home charging journey, from selecting and installing suitable charge points, through to capturing charging data and reimbursing employees accurately for electricity used to charge business vehicles.
The partnership brings together Powerverse’s charger fulfilment, installation and connected energy platform with Paua’s fleet payment and reimbursement technology.
Through Powerverse, Paua can now support home charging reimbursement across a much broader range of charge points, including Cord, WaEV, KEBA, Injet, Teltonika, go-e, Sevadis, Garo, Stevie and EVTEC.
Powerverse currently provides technology designed around the needs of leasing companies and fleets, including multi-brand charger choice, installation management, compliance records and home charging reimbursement capabilities.
Paua combines home charging reimbursement with public, workplace and shared depot charging, giving fleet managers a single platform for managing charging across the different places commercial vehicles plug in.
Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder of Paua, said:
“Home charging should be one of the easiest parts of running an electric fleet. In reality, fleet managers can quickly find themselves dealing with charger selection, installations, different hardware platforms, electricity tariffs and reimbursement.
“Working with Powerverse gives us another important piece of that puzzle. We can offer fleets access to a much broader home charging ecosystem while connecting that charging data directly into the Paua platform.
“Our aim is simple. A fleet manager should be able to get a charger installed at an employee’s home, collect the right charging data and reimburse that employee accurately without building a new administrative process around every vehicle.”
Richard Britton, Chief Executive at Powerverse, said:
“Fleets need home charging to be simple for both the business and the driver. By combining Powerverse’s end to end domestic charging and home energy platform with Paua’s fleet charging and reimbursement platform, we can remove much of the complexity that currently sits behind home EV charging.
“We see significant opportunities to build on this partnership as fleet electrification develops and businesses look for more connected ways to manage vehicles, charging and energy.”
