Right Fuel Card agree deal with Rightcharge to help fuel mixed fleets

Right Fuel Card has partnered with Rightcharge to support businesses with their electric vehicle (EV) transition alongside their current, traditional fuel needs.

The deal means that Right Fuel Card can now provide fleets with a single public charge card that their drivers can use to pay with company funds at more than 62,000 charge points across 39 networks. 

Matthew Briggs, CEO of Right Fuel Card, said: “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.”

The card works alongside the Rightcharge smartphone app, allowing drivers to 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. 

Vehicle integrations add an extra layer of security, says Rightcharge, automatically preventing fraud by ensuring reimbursements are only billed for charging on the drivers’ work vehicle and not a personal EV. Home charging costs are then sent to the drivers’ home energy bills. 

Businesses then receive a monthly HMRC-compliant invoice covering all home and public charging for their drivers. 

Alternatively, businesses can opt for a pay-and-claim, allowing drivers to download a monthly expense report for charging. 

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.”

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