Electric vehicle payment provider Allstar Business Solutions has announced that is has partnered with the UK’s leading EV mapping service Zap-Map to develop a payment solution for fleets with EVs.
The deal will enhance Allstar’s charging offering to its customers through additional features in the Zap-Map app.
Allstar has over 1.1 million business fuel and expense cards in circulation across 50,000 businesses to help drivers manage their cash flow, simplify admin, and reduce fuel costs.
Paul Holland, managing director of UK fuel at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “Teaming up with Zap-Map has been a key strategic move for Allstar, allowing us to help offer our customers a seamless experience when charging on the road.
