Charging made easier for fleet drivers: char.gy joins forces with Allstar

We've partnered with Allstar, one of the UK's leading fleet payment providers, to give business drivers seamless access to our on-street charging network, all through the Allstar card they already carry.

Fleet drivers using an Allstar card can now access and pay at char.gy's residential on-street charge points. Using the char.gy app to locate nearby charge points and start a session, drivers simply pay with their Allstar card. No extra accounts, no separate billing.

Why this matters for fleet electrification

One of the most common challenges for fleet managers isn't finding the right electric vehicles, it's ensuring drivers can reliably charge them. Many fleet drivers take their vehicles home overnight, but not everyone has access to a private driveway or a home charger. Without convenient local options, these drivers are effectively excluded from the switch to electric.

This is especially true for self-employed and independent drivers, who manage their own charging and costs. Without affordable, local AC charging available to them, many end up relying on rapid DC chargers, significantly increasing their running costs and squeezing margins.

char.gy's network is built precisely for this: charge points on residential streets, where drivers actually live.

Combined with Allstar's widely used payment platform, this partnership makes overnight, lower-cost AC charging genuinely accessible, without adding complexity for fleet managers or drivers.

As fleets electrify, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring drivers can access reliable, convenient charging where they live.

One card does everything

For fleet operators, the appeal is straightforward: Allstar already consolidates fuel payments across more than 90% of UK fuel sites. Adding char.gy's network means drivers can now handle both fuel and EV charging through a single card, with consolidated billing and reporting in one place.

Tom Rowlands, MD of Global EV Solutions at Corpay, said the integration is about removing friction:

By integrating char.gy's network into Allstar, we're helping fleets remove common barriers to electrification, combining fuel and EV payments into one seamless solution, while giving drivers greater confidence that they can charge easily and cost-effectively throughout their working day.
