Allstar One Electric now accepted on GRIDSERVE Electric Highway

Over 160 GRIDSERVE Electric Highway locations are now accessible via the Allstar One Electric card following a new partnership between the two groups.

The collaboration means that the Allstar One Electric card is now accepted as the first third-party payment method alongside contactless on the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway.

The partnership enables the Allstar One Electric card and roaming cards that are part of the Allstar Network, such as Mina Chargepass to have full access to the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway including their two flagship Electric Forecourts in Braintree and Norwich, as well as their High Power Electric Super Hubs and Medium Power Electric Hubs that cover 85% of the UK’s motorway service areas.

GRIDSERVE and Allstar One will work together to give more EV charging options through the Allstar One Electric card for fleet customers charging on the road.

Tom Rowlands, Managing Director, Global EV Solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “Allstar is really excited to have added GRIDSERVE Electric Highway to its network, which demonstrates our commitment to adding high quality and importantly high-speed networks for our fleet customers. We are GRIDSERVE’s first partner alongside contactless card acceptance specifically for fleets, which offers us a unique proposition for our customers.”

He added: “Recent vehicle sales figures show that there is a clear and growing appetite from UK fleet operators to incorporate EVs into their businesses and ultimately make the full transition. To help them achieve this it is essential that we partner with leading electric charging operators, such as GRIDSERVE. This will help us to offer greater access to charging points for drivers and reduce any threat of range anxiety for vehicles on the road.”

Toddington Harper, Founder and CEO of GRIDSERVE, added: “This decade is crucial for climate action and it’s vital that we deliver the solutions that will move the needle on climate change. The widespread transition to electric vehicles, powered by sustainable energy, is a key part of what’s needed. We are committed to building an awesome UK-wide charging network, enabling anyone, anywhere, in any type of EV to take on any journey and have a great customer experience. We look forward to working with Allstar to deliver a fantastic EV charging experience for fleet drivers.”
