The alliance combines Rightcharge’s access to over 70% of the UK’s public charging network with Right Fuel Card’s access to over 85% of UK fuel stations, giving customers comprehensive coverage, regardless of their fuel or energy requirements. It also allows Right Fuel Card to offer mixed fleets an advanced solution for consolidating both public charging payments and home charging reimbursements.

The partnership positions Right Fuel Card as a one-stop solution for UK businesses, bridging the gap between conventional fuel and electric fleets as the 2030 new car ICE ban looms.

Right Fuel Card, which is already used by over 20,000 businesses across the UK, can now provide fleets with a single public charge card that their drivers can use to pay with company funds at over 70% of the UK’s public network, covering more than 62,000 charge points across 39 networks. This works alongside the Rightcharge smartphone app, allowing drivers to easily locate and navigate to available charge points.

For home charging reimbursements, Rightcharge’s API integrations with energy suppliers and home chargers provide real-time consumption and tariff cost data, ensuring accurate charging cost calculations. Vehicle integrations add an extra layer of security, automatically preventing fraud by ensuring reimbursements are only billed for charging on the drivers’ work vehicle and not a personal electric vehicle. Home charging costs are then sent to the drivers’ home energy bills, eliminating out-of-pocket costs and removing the risk of energy debt.

Businesses benefit from a simplified payment solution, receiving a monthly HMRC-compliant invoice covering all home and public charging for their drivers. Alternatively, businesses can opt for a straightforward pay-and-claim, allowing drivers to download a monthly expense report for charging.

Beyond payments, the solution provides businesses with a powerful dashboard offering real-time insights into charging activity, costs, and carbon emissions, which even shows fleets how much energy has come from wind, solar, gas, nuclear or biomass.

This alliance offers mixed fleets an advanced solution for consolidating both public charging payments and home charging reimbursements.

Matthew Briggs, CEO of Right Fuel Card, commented: “Our expertise in fuel card management and access to over 85% of UK fuel stations, paired with Rightcharge’s innovative approach to EV charging, ensures that whether your fleet runs on diesel, petrol, or electricity, you have the right tools to operate efficiently and sustainably.”

Charlie Cook, CEO of Rightcharge, said: “We understand that mixed fleets require a market-leading solution for both EV and fuel as they transition to electric. This partnership is an exciting opportunity to provide fleets with an advanced solution to radically simplify EV charging and fuel payments.”
