Paua and Zaptec Partner to Offer Comprehensive EV Charging Payment System for Fleets
The collaboration integrates Zaptec’s home and depot hardware with Paua’s payment platform to streamline multi-location charging management.
UK-based EV charging payment provider Paua has announced a partnership with Norwegian charger manufacturer Zaptec to create a unified charging ecosystem for fleet operators. The collaboration aims to address the logistical challenges of managing electric vehicles across home, workplace, depot, and public charging locations.
What Happened
The partnership combines Zaptec’s hardware with Paua’s payment infrastructure to offer a "fully connected EV charging ecosystem." Zaptec’s Go 2 solution provides intelligent charging capabilities for employees’ homes, while Zaptec Pro offers scalable infrastructure for workplaces and commercial depots. By integrating these systems, the companies intend to allow fleet managers to track every charging event regardless of location. The integration relies on Zaptec chargers securely sharing session data with Paua via in-built energy meters, enabling automated cost calculation and accurate reimbursement for business mileage. Drivers retain access to the UK’s public charging network through Paua’s existing charge card and app.
Why It Matters
As organizations transition to electric fleets, charging often becomes a fragmented affair involving multiple locations and payment systems. This fragmentation can lead to administrative burdens such as manual expense claims and limited visibility into total charging costs. By unifying hardware and payment processing, the partnership seeks to reduce this administrative workload. Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder at Paua, stated that fleet electrification should be an operational advantage rather than an administrative burden. Albert Parnell, Head of Partnerships at Zaptec, noted that the integration aims to provide greater visibility and a turnkey solution to accelerate the transition to fully electric fleets.
The Bottom Line
Paua and Zaptec have joined forces to streamline fleet charging management in the UK. The partnership leverages Zaptec’s intelligent charging hardware and Paua’s payment platform to offer a consolidated solution for home, depot, and public charging, aiming to simplify cost tracking and reimbursement for fleet operators.
