WEX and Chargie announced a collaboration aimed at simplifying operations for EV fleets across the country. The partnership combines WEX’s fleet payment and management platforms with Chargie’s EV charging hardware, software, and service solutions. Together, the companies said they seek to ease the transition to electric vehicles for businesses and fleet operators.
Chargie will design, install, and support Level 2 and Level 3 EV charging solutions. These solutions serve commercial and government sectors with various fleet use cases. The charging stations will integrate with WEX’s payment platform. This allows drivers to make secure, touchless payments using WEX charge cards. Fleet operators can also easily analyze reports and invoices through the integrated system.
Streamlining EV Fleet Solutions for Operators
“Our integration with Chargie marks a significant expansion of our EV network and is a big win for fleet operators,” said Jay Collins, SVP & GM, EV & Mobility at WEX. “The addition of our payment processing technology by syncing transaction details and RFID numbers from their charging stations streamlines the EV charging experience and empowers organizations to make smarter decisions for their operations.”
As the transportation sector shifts toward electric vehicles, businesses and government agencies are exploring mixed-energy and fully electric fleets. These fleets help reduce emissions, optimize costs, and improve performance. In a recent study commissioned by WEX and conducted by market research firm Frost & Sullivan, 80% of respondents indicated that they intend for at least a quarter of their fleets to be comprised of EVs by 2030. Additionally, nearly two-thirds of fleet managers noted they have low-carbon goals to meet in the same timeframe.
Industry Transition
“Fleet electrification is not a distant goal – the transition is already well underway, and we’re seeing it across all industries,” said Chargie CEO Zach Jennings. “We’re proud to work with WEX to take the complexity out of the process for fleet operators.”
