As some of you may know I work with a fairly large fleet of EVs. I was approached this morning by Allstar, who we have a contract with for fuel cards in our ICE and PHEV vehicles who were offering their new EV Charging solution. I thought it would be of interest to some here, since it looks like we're finally starting to get communication between different charging networks meaning we don't need to carry around so many memberships cards in future.

Currently it's only GeniePoint, Engenie, Source London, Alfa Power and ESB. So it's not a realistic option for me to go with yet. But if they can get a few of the big names like Chargepoint and Polar on board, and even better get app-only networks like Ecotricity and Pod Point to enable their RFID readers for this (which I feel is going to be necessary when it comes to company cars needing to charge) they could be onto something good here.
Hopefully we see something similar for personal use too.
