Paua and Zaptec Partner to Deliver a Complete EV Charging Ecosystem for Fleets

Combining intelligent charging infrastructure, automated reimbursement and seamless payments across home, workplace, depot and public charging.

London, UK – 7^th  September 2026 – Paua, the UK's leading EV charging payment platform for businesses, today announced a strategic partnership with Zaptec, Europe's largest AC EV charging manufacturer, to provide fleet operators with a fully connected EV charging ecosystem spanning home, workplace, depot and public charging.

The partnership brings together Paua's market-leading charge card, payment and reimbursement platform with Zaptec's intelligent charging hardware and fleet management capabilities, enabling businesses to simplify the operational complexities of fleet electrification through a single, integrated solution.

As organisations continue to transition to electric vehicles, charging is increasingly becoming a multi-location challenge. Employees charge company vehicles at home, drivers rely on public charging while on the road, and businesses are investing in workplace and depot infrastructure to support growing EV fleets. Yet many fleet managers still contend with fragmented systems, manual expense claims, limited visibility of charging costs and infrastructure that struggles to scale alongside fleet growth.

Paua and Zaptec have partnered to solve this challenge.

Together, the companies are delivering a seamless charging experience that enables businesses to manage every charging event, regardless of where it takes place, through connected technology, intelligent infrastructure and consolidated reporting.

"Fleet electrification should be an operational advantage, not an administrative burden," said Niall Riddell, CEO and co-founder at Paua. "Businesses need confidence that drivers are reimbursed accurately, charging infrastructure can scale with demand, and fleet managers have complete visibility of charging activity. Our partnership with Zaptec provides a simpler, smarter way to manage EV charging across an entire fleet."

Zaptec brings more than charging hardware to the partnership. Its fleet charging portfolio has been designed to support organisations at every stage of their electrification journey.

The award-winning Zaptec Go 2 provides intelligent charging at home for company car and van drivers, while Zaptec Pro delivers scalable charging infrastructure for workplaces, depots and commercial sites. Combined with Zaptec's cloud-based management capabilities, businesses gain real-time visibility into charging activity, energy consumption and charger performance across their estate.

For fleet managers, one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption remains operational complexity. Home charging reimbursement is often based on estimates or manual expense submissions,workplace charging can create additional administrative overhead, and depot operators face increasing pressure to deploy infrastructure quickly and cost-effectively.

Through the Paua-Zaptec collaboration, these challenges are addressed head on.

Zaptec chargers securely share charging session data with Paua using in-built energy meters, enabling businesses to automatically calculate charging costs based on an employee's electricity tariff and accurately reimburse business mileage. This removes guesswork, reduces administrative burden and ensures a fair, transparent and HMRC-compliant reimbursement process.

At the same time, drivers can continue using Paua's charge card and app to access the UK's extensive public charging network, providing a consistent experience wherever charging takes place.

For depot and workplace operators, scalability is critical. Zaptec Pro's patented architecture allows multiple chargers to be installed using a single cable, reducing material usage by up to 70% and installation labour by more than 60%. Combined with dynamic load balancing technology, fleets can charge multiple vehicles simultaneously, including cars, vans and future commercial EV, without requiring costly upgrades to their existing electrical infrastructure.

Built and engineered in Norway, Zaptec chargers are designed for reliability in demanding environments and are backed by a five-year warranty and 99.9% uptime, providing businesses with confidence that charging infrastructure will perform as their fleets expand.

"Fleet managers need charging solutions that are as flexible as the way their drivers operate,"said Albert Parnell, Head of partnerships at Zaptec. "By combining Zaptec's intelligent charging technology with Paua's payment and fleet management platform, we're enabling organisations to gain greater visibility, provide a turn-key solution and reduce the workload for companies to accelerate their transition to a fully electric fleet for home and depots."

The partnership also positions businesses for the future of energy management. Zaptec Go 2 is Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) ready, enabling fleets to prepare for a future in which electric vehicles can act as distributed energy assets, helping reduce energy costs and support grid flexibility as V2G capabilities become more widely adopted.

Through a single connected ecosystem, fleet managers can now:

• View home, workplace, depot and public charging activity in one dashboard.
• ‍
• Automate home charging reimbursement using actual charging data.
• Equip drivers with one charge card and app for charging away from base.
• Monitor charging usage by driver, vehicle and location.
• Consolidate reporting and simplify financial administration.
• Receive a single monthly invoice across  charging environments.
• Scale charging infrastructure without  significant power upgrades.
• Future-proof their fleet with V2G-ready  charging technology.

The partnership reflects abroader shift in fleet electrification. Charging is no longer confined to asingle location, and businesses require solutions that connect drivers,vehicles, infrastructure and payments into one seamless experience.

Together, Paua and Zaptec are delivering exactly that: one driver experience, one fleet dashboard, one invoice and one connected charging ecosystem for home, workplace, depot and public charging.

For fleet operators, the outcome is simple; a faster, more efficient path to electrification.
