Tom Rowlands of Allstar Business Solutions says business EV fleets need access to rapid charging

UK fuel and electric vehicle payment company Allstar Business Solutions has started a strategic partnership with rapid and ultra-rapid charge point network MFG (Motor Fuel Group). 
 
Allstar says the alliance boosts its network by an additional 40 ultra-rapid EV charging hubs, taking its overall network to more than 8,600 charge points across more than 3,100 locations. 

MFG aims to have a minimum of four – and up to eight – charge points per location, maximising availability, and the ability to minimise wait times on arrival. Allstar adds that the link-up with MFG means that it now offers one of the fastest charging networks in the UK for fleets, accessed via its Allstar One Electric card. 
 
MFG is a large UK independent forecourt operator, with its EV service offering exclusively ultra-rapid charging, co-located on MFG’s fuel station network. Allstar says this ensures continuity of refuelling locations for fleet drivers that are migrating from ICE to electric vehicles. 
 
The deal is designed to enhance customers' experience when charging, ensuring they can access charge points conveniently and get back on the road more swiftly with rapid and ultra-rapid charging. 

Allstar says it is building a network that is nationwide and also solves any pain points that come with electric charging. Recent partnerships include Alfa Power, Allego, ESB Energy, LiFe, GeniePoint, Mer, Osprey, Plug-N-Go, Source London, Charge My Street, Connected Kerb and the GRIDSERVE Electric Highway. 
 
Tom Rowlands, MD, global EV solutions at Allstar Business Solutions, said: “Businesses are increasingly adopting EVs into their fleets, so it’s our mission to make their integration as seamless as possible. That means helping drivers get back on the road quickly through access to rapid charging, which is why MFG, and their convenient locations for rapid and ultra-rapid charging, were the perfect partners to add to our network."
 
Ed Chadwick, director, EV at MFG, commented: “MFG is dedicated to keeping motorists on the move and that includes the UK’s businesses. Our hub format reduces queuing and our 150kW ensure you’ll be back on the road as soon as possible. Our forecourt locations also offer toilets, wifi and coffee to keep drivers going too. We are delighted to welcome Allstar as our first Managed Service Provider.”
