Zaptec’s & Paua join forces offering easy payment, reimbursement and fleet charging.

One of the biggest challenges for electric vehicle fleets is managing home EV charging reimbursement.

When company car and van drivers charge at home, fleet operators need an accurate way to understand how much electricity has been used for business charging and how much should be reimbursed. Manual expense claims and estimates can create additional administration for both drivers and finance teams.

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.

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.

For fleet managers, automated EV charging reimbursement means less time spent processing expenses and greater confidence that drivers are being reimbursed accurately.

Public charging adds another layer of complexity to fleet electrification. Drivers may need to charge away from home, at customer sites, during long-distance journeys or between depot visits.

At the same time, fleet operators need visibility of charging costs and a straightforward way to manage payments across multiple charging environments.

Through the partnership, 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.

This gives businesses a simpler approach to EV charging payments for fleets — connecting public charging with home, workplace and depot charging rather than treating each environment as a separate system.

Scalable workplace and depot EV charging

For businesses operating larger electric fleets, workplace and depot charging infrastructure needs to scale with vehicle numbers and operational requirements.

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.

This makes scalable fleet depot charging an important part of the Paua and Zaptec solution, helping businesses expand their EV fleets without creating unnecessary infrastructure complexity.

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

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.

For businesses planning the long-term transition to electric vehicles, investing in connected and intelligent charging infrastructure can help create a foundation for future energy management capabilities.

What can fleet managers expect with Paua and Zaptec?

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.

One connected EV charging solution for fleets

The partnership reflects a broader shift in fleet electrification. Charging is no longer confined to a single 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.

What is a complete EV charging solution for a fleet?

A complete EV charging solution connects the different ways a fleet charges its vehicles, including home, workplace, depot and public charging. It can combine charging infrastructure, charging payments, charging sessions, reimbursement, reporting and fleet management within one connected system.

How can businesses reimburse employees for home EV charging?

Businesses can use actual charging-session data to calculate the cost of electricity used for business charging. Through the Paua and Zaptec collaboration, Zaptec chargers securely share charging session data with Paua using in-built energy meters, enabling charging costs to be calculated based on an employee's electricity tariff and business mileage to be accurately reimbursed.

How can fleets simplify EV charging payments?

Fleets can simplify payments by giving drivers a single charge card and app for public charging while connecting public charging with home, workplace and depot charging activity. This can help businesses consolidate charging costs, reporting and invoicing.

Can one system manage home, workplace, depot and public EV charging?

Yes. The Paua and Zaptec partnership is designed to connect charging activity across home, workplace, depot and public charging through one ecosystem, giving fleet managers greater visibility of charging activity and costs.

How does depot EV charging scale for growing fleets?

Zaptec Pro is designed to provide scalable charging infrastructure for workplaces, depots and commercial sites. Its patented architecture allows multiple chargers to be installed using a single cable where you can simply add more charging units when you are ready. Its dynamic load balancing enables multiple vehicles to charge simultaneously without requiring costly upgrades to existing electrical infrastructure.

What are the benefits of EV charging management for fleet managers?

A connected EV charging management solution can help fleet managers monitor charging by driver, vehicle and location, automate home charging reimbursement, manage public charging payments, consolidate reporting and receive a single monthly invoice across charging environments.
