THE US firm Fleetcor, most commonly known in the UK for its Allstar fuel cards, has acquired Mina, a cloud-based digital electric vehicle (EV) charging software platform.
If you’ve not come across Mina before, its Mina Homecharge product captures, calculates and pays for home business-use charging directly to the energy provider, therby side-stepping clumsy pay and reclaim expenses.
Fleetcor is no stranger to Mina, having already invested twice in the business, and provides its own branded Allstar Homecharge product to customers.
Combined with Allstar’s leading on-the-road EV charging capabilities, Fleetcor now offers SME fleet managers access to a comprehensive suite of EV charging solutions to help manage the transition to EVs.
The deal follows Fleetcor’s recent acquisition of Plugsurfing and investment in Zap-Map, which adds additional breadth to its Allstar on-the-road fuel and EV network.
Our goal is to provide companies of all sizes with a better way to pay. In the fleet space specifically, this acquisition means that our customers can now benefit from a full suite of comprehensive payment and reporting solutions for on-the-road and home charging regardless of whether they operate ICE, EV, or mixed fleets.
Mina offers three products for SME fleets: Mina Homecharge, which pays the driver’s home charging costs with the driver’s energy supplier directly; Chargepass, which is a card to access to the UK’s fastest charger network; and Onefleet, an all-inclusive home and public charging subscription service.
In less than three years we’ve seen Mina grow from an idea to enabling some of the largest fleets in the UK to transition to EVs. None of this would have been possible without the support from Fleetcor, who have believed and invested in Mina since we first came under their radar back in 2021. I’m extremely excited to continue this journey with the Fleetcor, team.
