Together, the companies are bringing many firsts to the
industry. ChargePoint is the first EV charging network to accept
corporate fleet cards and Voyager is the first fleet card issuer to
be accepted at their charging spots. This first-of-its-kind
relationship in the fleet industry is timely, as Electric Vehicles
International predicts electric car fleets to reach 20 million
by 2020 globally.
“Joining the Voyager Network is a significant enhancement to
ChargePoint’s already comprehensive fleet charging solutions that
simplify operations for a wide range of government, utility and
private fleet operators,” said Michael Jones, vice president,
Sales, ChargePoint, Inc. “As the demand for electric transportation
increases, ChargePoint continues to innovate across our portfolio,
adding features and technologies that make going electric seamless,
convenient and cost-effective for fleet operators. Making expense
management easy while giving fleet drivers the flexibility to
charge at multiple locations on the ChargePoint network is yet
another innovation that makes our solution even more compelling to
fleet managers.”
The Voyager Network, owned and operated by U.S. Bank, is one of
the largest fleet-fueling and maintenance acceptance networks in
the United States. The Voyager Fleet Card is accepted at more than
320,000 fueling, maintenance and service locations and used by
millions of drivers of fleet cars, trucks and heavy-duty commercial
rigs. The Network offers sophisticated purchase controls and data
that simplify fleet expense management by giving fleet managers
greater visibility and control over fleet spend.
“Working with ChargePoint is an excellent example of our
commitment as a bank to promoting a sustainable environment while
supporting economic growth,” said U.S. Bank Global Transportation
General Manager John Hardin. “ChargePoint’s well-established
nationwide presence gives our fleets instant access to an
alternative power source and reflects the bank’s strategy of
pursuing innovative partnerships in renewable energy.”
