Ayvens is teaming up with Plugsurfing to create a comprehensive fleet charging solution for international, local corporate and SME clients across the UK and Europe.

The new solution will simplify EV fleet operations and support a seamless charging experience

Under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the two firms will provide access to Plugsurfing’s roaming network of more than a million public charge points across Europe.

Drivers will gain access to an EV charging app and seamless payment across public, home, workplace and depot charge points, making electrification simple and easily accessible.

Meanwhile, fleet managers will benefit from a consolidated fleet portal to monitor and control charging expenses across the various locations. The unified reporting solution will help improve the overall charging experience by providing comprehensive data insights and total cost of ownership (TCO) including vehicles and charging costs, particularly benefiting those managing EV fleets through multiple leasing and charging providers.

Corporate clients and SMEs will gain better oversight into driver charging behaviours with detailed reporting data, offering insights into kWh consumption, cost per network and mileage collection; all of which are key factors in TCO optimisation.

Plugsurfing currently connects over two million EV drivers to its EU+ wide charging network operated by more than 500 charge point operators (CPOs) across Europe.

Ayvens has a multi-brand EV fleet of +600,000 electric vehicles worldwide and the new tie-up seeks to provide a best-in-class charging experience to further facilitate the transition towards smarter and greener mobility for corporate and SMEs clients in Europe.

The partnership is expected to be progressively rolled out in the coming months, starting with Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, paving the way for broader adoption, as Ayvens and Plugsurfing work to refine and expand the service in response to evolving client requirements, new market demands and technological advancements.

Amélie de Valroger, global director innovation, products and consultancy at Ayvens, said: “After a detailed selection process, Plugsurfing was identified as the most relevant among over 20 providers to help us simplify EV charging for our fleet clients. This collaboration will enrich our EV offering, making charging easier for drivers and helping fleets run more efficiently across Europe.

“By offering a seamless charging experience, we address a major obstacle in adopting electric vehicles. This highlights Ayvens’ important role in building a strong ecosystem that gives our clients great value as they move towards sustainable mobility.”

Tom Rowlands, managing director of global EV solutions at Corpay, which owns Plugsurfing, went on: “This partnership highlights the power of Plugsurfing’s platform to deliver fleet solutions that scale. At the heart of our offer is the fleet portal, which gives businesses the tools to manage cards, track spend, and gain actionable insights across public, home, and workplace charging. Combined with Ayvens’ expertise in fleet management, we are creating a solution that simplifies operations and supports a seamless charging experience for drivers everywhere.”
