Allstar expands EV charging network again with MFG partnership

Allstar Business Solutions has announced a strategic partnership with rapid and ultra-rapid charge point network Motor Fuel Group (MFG).

The deal increases Allstar’s network by an additional 40 ultra-rapid EV charging hubs, taking its overall network to more than 8,600 charge points across more than 3,100 locations.

MFG aims to have a minimum of four – and up to eight – charge points per location.

Tom Rowlands, managing director, Global EV Solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “Businesses are increasingly adopting EVs into their fleets, so it’s our mission to make their integration as seamless as possible.

“That means helping drivers get back on the road quickly through access to rapid charging, which is why MFG, and their convenient locations for rapid and ultra-rapid charging, were the perfect partners to add to our network.

“Now Allstar is able to offer our customers one of the fastest charging networks for fleets in the UK.”

MFG is one of the UK’s largest independent forecourt operators, with its EV service offering exclusively ultra-rapid charging, co-located on MFG’s fuel station network.

Ed Chadwick, director of EV at MFG, said: “MFG is dedicated to keeping motorists on the move and that includes the UK’s businesses.

“Our hub format reduces queuing and our 150kW ensure you’ll be back on the road as soon as possible. Our forecourt locations also offer toilets, wifi and coffee to keep drivers going too. 

“We are delighted to welcome Allstar as our first Managed Service Provider.”

Allstar, which will be exhibiting at Fleet & Mobility Live on October 11-12 at Bimringham NEC, says it is building a network that is not only nationwide but solves any pain points that come with electric charging.

Recent partnerships include Alfa Power, Allego, ESB Energy, LiFe, GeniePoint, Mer, Osprey, Plug-N-Go, Source London, Charge My Street, Connected Kerb and the Gridserve Electric Highway.
