Paua and Powerverse partner to simplify home EV charging for fleet operators

Paua, a UK EV charging payment platform for businesses, has partnered with Powerverse to simplify home charging for fleets. The partnership will give Paua customers access to Powerverse’s network of compatible home chargers and installation services.

The companies aim to help fleet operators manage home charging, from selecting and installing suitable charge points to collecting charging data and reimbursing employees for electricity used to charge business vehicles.

Home charging can be a convenient and cost-effective option for electric fleets, but it also creates operational challenges. Fleet managers may need to install suitable equipment in hundreds or thousands of homes, collect reliable charging data and reimburse drivers without adding significant administrative work.

The partnership combines Powerverse’s charger sourcing, installation and connected energy platform with Paua’s fleet payment and reimbursement technology.

Through Powerverse, Paua can now support home charging reimbursement for a wider range of charge points, including Cord, WaEV, KEBA, Injet, Teltonika, go-e, Sevadis, Garo, Stevie and EVTEC.

“Home charging should be one of the easiest parts of running an electric fleet,” said Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder of Paua. “In reality, fleet managers can quickly find themselves dealing with charger selection, installations, different hardware platforms, electricity tariffs and reimbursement. Working with Powerverse gives us another part of that process. We can offer fleets access to a broader home charging network while connecting charging data directly to the Paua platform. A fleet manager should be able to get a charger installed at an employee’s home, collect the right charging data and reimburse that employee accurately without building a new administrative process around every vehicle.”

“Fleets need home charging to be simple for both the business and the driver,” said Richard Britton, Chief Executive of Powerverse. “By combining Powerverse’s end-to-end home charging and energy platform with Paua’s fleet charging and reimbursement platform, we can reduce the complexity of home EV charging.”
