FleetCard, an Australian fleet management company with over four decades of experience, has partnered with Chargefox to introduce FleetCard +Electric, the country’s first all-in-one electric vehicle (EV) and fuel solution for business fleets.
The new offering combines FleetCard’s existing fuel card capabilities with access to Chargefox’s extensive national network of EV charging stations.
Employees driving an electric company vehicle can simply tap their FleetCard +Electric to bill the recharge to the company account, just as they would with a regular fuel card — all consolidated on one invoice.
FleetCard +Electric aims to simplify the transition to electric vehicles for Australian businesses, providing a comprehensive fleet management service that supports the incorporation of EVs alongside traditional fuel-powered vehicles.
Sam Steel, Managing Director of Corpay Australia and New Zealand, FleetCard’s parent company, said that as the industry evolves, FleetCard believes that electric vehicles in fleets are the natural next step to take.
“Our new addition of FleetCard +Electric is helping our customers to make an easy transition to EV, and our partnership with Chargefox gives them access to a vast national network of charging stations, meaning drivers don’t have to stress about on-road charging.”
With the addition of EV charging capabilities, Australian businesses can now manage all their on-road expenses through a single consolidated invoice, regardless of their fleet composition.
“We’re excited to offer our customers the choice to incorporate EV charging as part of their fleet and fuel card. While the term ‘Fuel Card’ has meant petrol or diesel until now, electricity is now an important fuel for transport, so it’s natural we added it to the list,” added Mr Steel.
The partnership with Chargefox, Australia’s largest and fastest-growing EV charging network, provides FleetCard customers with access to hundreds of charging stations across the country, making the transition to electric vehicles more convenient and accessible.
“We’re excited to be partnering with FleetCard on the launch of their new EV offering for business fleets,” said John Sullivan, CEO of Chargefox.
“At Chargefox, we offer the largest and fastest-growing number of EV charging stations, through our hundreds of network partners, taking the stress out of EV adoption and helping individuals and businesses make the switch to electric vehicles.”
To further promote sustainability, FleetCard is rolling out new sustainable cards across its product portfolio, including FleetCard +Electric.
The new cards are developed using SICO-R, a sustainable PVC Film produced with 99 per cent recycled PVC made from industrial waste.
