Allstar network to have 10,000-plus charge points by the end of 2022

Allstar Business Solutions has announced its combined fuel and electric vehicle (EV) network in the UK now has more than 8,600 charge points, across more than 3,100 locations, as well as access to over 90% of the UK's fuel sites.

Allstar, which is on-boarding additional operators, now expects to have more than 10,000 charge points by the end of the year.

It has recently welcomed Gridserve, MFG, Connected Kerb, Charge My Street, Allego, PlugNGo, and Mer to its network, joining the likes of Source London, Geniepoint, ESB Energy, Osprey, Alfa Power and LiFe.

Tom Rowlands, managing director, global EV solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “We’re proud of the milestones Allstar and Fleetcor has reached to date, particularly our best-in-class EV charging network, that mirrors what we can offer customers today in fuel, as well as our first of its kind home charging solution to simplify EV charging payments for drivers and businesses when at home.

“This couldn’t have happened without growing our team of experts internally as well as joining forces with some of the country’s leading providers. We look forward to enhancing our offering to fleets long into the future.”

Allstar has also invested in Mina and launched Allstar Homecharge. The solution aims to help simplify payments for EV fleets charging at home, all managed through one supplier with complete visibility of charging and payments. 

Allstar launched the Allstar One Electric fuel card in 2019, eliminating the need to subscribe to multiple EV charging networks by aggregating merchants and locations.

The functionality was further strengthened by joining forces with Zap-Map, enabling customers to search, plan and pay for EV charging on the road.

Paul Holland, managing director, UK fleet at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “The challenges and complexity for fleet operators transitioning to electric cannot be underestimated. 

“By working closely with our customers, which includes many of the largest fleets in the UK, we have developed a truly market leading solution and unrivalled level of expertise to help fleets and their drivers transition efficiently to electric vehicles.”
