We want to make the transition from petrol fleet to EV fleet as painless as possible by simplifying your fleet’s charging process from both a practical and financial perspective:
With access to the UK’s best public charging network with one card we can ensure smooth charging out of the road.
You can pay for your drivers’ home charging by making one payment to Rightcharge, who then distributes funds to their home energy suppliers; employees are never out of pocket.
Manage all your drivers’ electric vehicle charging in one dashboard, including public, workplace, and home charging.
And if you get the right energy tariff then often it’s renewable energy you’re using to fill the kWh in your EV battery.
