EV Fleet Charging – New Roaming Partnership Between Mer and Paua

Renewable EV charging experts Mer have teamed up with fleet EV charging specialist Paua to offer drivers a more convenient solution to keep them motoring.

Mer and Paua have agreed a roaming partnership, enabling Paua’s fleet customers to use Mer’s network of 160+ chargers whenever they need a power top-up while out and about. The deal is part of Mer’s commitment to support fleet roaming across EV charging networks in the UK – which is a core part of Paua’s business model.

Under the arrangement, Paua’s mobile app fleet drivers can find, charge and pay at Mer’s next generation EV chargers at any site across the UK – simplifying the charging process for them. It’s one of a series of roaming agreement’s Mer has already signed this year – including recent ones with Allstar and New Motion – to further its ambitions to help create an open and accessible EV charging network for fleet operators in the UK. Paua’s focus on fleet drivers also aligns with one of Mer’s focus areas – namely supporting businesses to switch to EVs by making the installation of depot charging infrastructure as easy and cost-effective as possible.

“We want to enable fleets and business drivers to have confidence they can charge away from their base as they extend their electric fleets beyond depot charging. Mer is an excellent partner for us with their commitment to establishing a more accessible and effortless experience, and so creating a smoother transition for fleet EV drivers across Britain.” – Niall Riddell, Paua Managing Director

As the UK ramps up its transition to EVs – accelerated by the Government’s 2030 ban on the sale of new diesel and petrol cars and vans – one of the biggest challenges’ EV fleet drivers will face is being able to charge their vehicles where and when they need to.

Although charging infrastructure is being rapidly built across the country’s major road networks, and at-home solutions are becoming cheaper and more effective, there are still several gaps where there is an urgent need for accelerated fleet EV charging deployment.

Mer, which has years of experience building out EV infrastructure in Northern Europe, is focused on working with businesses and public sector organisations to expand their EV fleet charging facilities.

Drivers can find their nearest Mer charging point by downloading the Mer app at the Apple app store or on Google Play.
