Powered by ChargePoint’s best-in-class technology, the new
charging business will provide drivers of corporate fleets with one
simple charging solution for easy access, payments and
reimbursement reports. Drivers will access a charging network of
over 485,000 charging ports across Europe, with a single dedicated
app and charging card offering charging at home, in the office or
on the road.
To control and monitor charging expenses, fleet managers will
benefit from a unique, consolidated reporting and invoicing
solution that provides an overview of all charging costs. Public,
workplace, depot and home charging costs will be provided in one
single dashboard to enable further control over the full eco-system
in a unique and holistic manner. This is particularly relevant for
fleet managers who manage their EV fleets through multi-leasing
companies and charging wall box providers.
This new EV charging business for fleets is a reinforcement of
the partnership between ALD Automotive and ChargePoint who have
been working closely since 2019 together to offer a comprehensive
portfolio of bundled leasing and charging services.
The eMSP will be headquartered in Paris region with go live
expected in the final quarter 2023, starting in France and the
Netherlands and followed closely by Belgium and Germany, with
subsequent roll-out in 8 European countries* by 2025. The parties
expect that the new business will be progressively extended to
further geographies over time, as well as to small and medium
companies, leasing companies and private individuals, in addition
to carbon brokerage services (vehicle to grid, carbon credits…) in
the medium term.
“With this agreement, we are expanding our relationship with ALD
Automotive, and enabling more businesses to electrify their
fleets,” said Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint. “Together,
ChargePoint and ALD Automotive will enable more businesses and
drivers frictionless access to simple and reliable charging,
opening up the millions of lease company controlled vehicles in
Europe to the EV revolution."
“With ChargePoint, our goal is to simplify and facilitate access
to EV charging services for corporate fleets. This new venture
allows ALD Automotive to take an additional stake in the EV
ecosystem value chain while further advancing Green Tech for
mobility,” confirms Tim Albertsen, CEO of ALD. “We believe that
this unique charging value-proposition for fleets will be a game
changer in accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles. With one
of the largest multi-make fleets of electric vehicles worldwide, we
take our responsibility of facilitating the energy transition
seriously and are set on making sustainable mobility a
reality.”
