Get cheaper EV charging for your business with Paua

Can Paua help you cut your EV charging costs?

 For many businesses, the first question about electric vehicle charging is simple: how do we make it cheaper?

If you’re running a fleet, chances are you’ve already seen public charging costs that make your finance team wince, 90p per kilowatt-houror more in some cases. It’s understandable to want to bring that number down. After all, cost reduction is built into every fleet manager’s DNA.

But here’s the thing: cheaper charging doesn’t have to be a guessing game. With Paua’s powerful data and reporting tools, fleets can finally see where their money is going, and where it doesn’t need to. Our platform brings together one of the UK’s largest charging networks and deep insight into pricing, usage, and driver behaviour. That means you can make informed decisions that directly lower your charging costs, rather than hoping for better rates or chasing random discounts.

And one step better; we can tell you how to get cheaper charging BEFORE you sign up to Paua!

If your business wants to cut costs, gain clarity, and charge smarter, Paua has the data and technology to help you do it.

Understanding the real cost challenge of public EV charging

Public charging doesn’t behave like traditional fleet fuel cards. There’s no single, uniform price. Tariffs vary by network, charger type,location, and time of day.

That complexity means you could have drivers using charge points that are dramatically more expensive than alternatives just a few hundred metres away. Or worse, you might be picking up hundreds of pounds in avoidable overstay fees each month without even realising it.

These are not minor inefficiencies; they add up. And while you can’t negotiate with a charging post, you can outsmart it. That’s where data-driven insight makes the difference.

The smarter solution: The Cheaper Charging Report

 At Paua, we’ve built one of the smartest EV chargingvplatforms in the UK, connecting fleets to more than 65,000 public charge point connectors (Sept 2025) across the country. We help your drivers find chargers that work for their routes, their vehicles, and your business.

 But access alone isn’t enough. We also help you understand how to use that network better.

 Our Cheaper Charging Report is a bespoke analysis that reviews your current charging activity and identifies where you could save money. It’s not guesswork, it’s powered by your own charging data. Whether you’re using AllStar, Shell, Octopus, or any other major fuel or EV charge card provider, we’ll benchmark your charging costs against the national network and show you exactly where improvements could be made. That is the Paua of the Cheaper Charging Report!

 We’ve seen fleets save hundreds of pounds per driver simply by changing behaviour, adjusting routes, or avoiding a handful of costly chargepoints.

How the Cheaper Charging Report works

The process is simple. You share your charging invoices or transaction data with the Paua team. We then analyse it through our data platform to uncover three key insights:

1. Cost benchmarking: We compare what you’re paying today with the broader market and Paua’s aggregated network rates.

2. Behavioural trends: We look at where, when, and how your drivers charge, highlighting opportunities for smarter choices.

3. Savings opportunities: From nearby cheaper chargers to route-based alternatives, we pin point practical ways to bring your costs down.

 Sometimes, the cheapest charger is quite literally sitting next to the one your driver currently uses. Other times, the savings come from identifying overstay fees or unnecessary top-ups that quietly inflate your bills. We’ll package these findings into a clear, actionable report you can use immediately whether you join Paua or stay where you are.

Behaviour Change That Drives Savings

One of the biggest advantages of the Cheaper Charging Report is how it changes behaviour.

Drivers often choose chargers based on habit, the same network, the same location, the same car park. But small tweaks in choice can deliver big gains. Our analysis helps fleet managers understand these patterns and encourage smarter habits.

A simple switch from one charger to another might shave 10–15% off a driver’s monthly charging cost without compromising convenience. Multiply that across your fleet, and the numbers start to get very interesting.

And for those fleets unknowingly paying high overstay or idle fees? We’ve helped identify thousands in unnecessary charges that can be avoided with the right insight and driver guidance.
