Rightcharge and Vaylens partner on automated home charging reimbursement for UK fleets
By Eve
Vaylens has partnered with Rightcharge to automate home charging reimbursement for fleet customers across the UK. Using charging session data from Vaylens, Rightcharge applies the driver's home energy tariff and settles reimbursement directly with the energy provider. Rightcharge data shows public charging accounted for close to 70 per cent of charging spend on its platform in the first half of 2026, despite providing just 41 per cent of the energy consumed, highlighting the cost advantage of home charging for fleet operators.
Why it matters
The partnership addresses a key fleet procurement challenge by automating reimbursement at scale, enabling operators to shift charging spend from expensive public infrastructure to home charging that costs around a third as much. For CPOs and fleet charging providers, the data underscores the competitive pressure on public charging pricing and the need for integrated software solutions that manage multi location charging.

Rightcharge and Vaylens partner to automate home charging reimbursement for UK fleets
EV charging software providers Rightcharge and Vaylens have integrated their platforms to automate home charging reimbursement for UK fleet operators. The system uses charging session data from Vaylens to calculate payments based on each driver's home energy tariff, with Rightcharge settling reimbursements directly with energy providers. Public charging represented nearly 70% of fleet charging costs on Rightcharge's platform in the first half of 2026, despite accounting for 41% of energy consumed, while home charging costs around a third of public rates.
Why it matters
The partnership addresses a major fleet cost issue by automating reimbursement for home charging, which is significantly cheaper than public infrastructure. For CPOs and fleet procurement teams managing hundreds or thousands of vehicles, the integration offers a scalable solution to reduce charging expenses and administrative overhead.
Electrify America operates 6,029 DC fast-charging ports across 1,191 US sites
Electrify America now runs 6,029 DC fast-charging ports at 1,191 locations in the United States, making it the second largest DC charging network after Tesla Supercharger, according to InsideEVs citing the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center. Over the past year, the network's port count grew by 16% and station count by around 10%, with 202 ports added in the second quarter alone, representing 6.7% of all US DC fast-charging ports. ChargePoint, the third largest operator, installed 333 ports in the same quarter and holds 6.1% market share, while Walmart's network added more ports than any other non-Tesla company in the quarter, reaching 916 ports across 110 stations.
Why it matters
The figures confirm Electrify America's dominant position among non-Tesla networks and provide procurement teams with current scale benchmarks for the US fast-charging market. Walmart's aggressive second quarter rollout signals a major retail-led expansion that could reshape site partnership opportunities for CPOs and equipment suppliers.
Queue and reservation hardware shifts from niche to core layer as high utilisation sites hit capacity limits
The global market for public EV charging queue and reservation hardware is entering structural expansion as charge point operators face physical limits at high utilisation sites, according to an IndexBox report entering 2026. Demand is splitting between integrated systems for new high power hubs and retrofit solutions for existing stations. The hardware includes integrated displays, sensors, payment terminals, communication modules and access controllers, with supply chains characterised by validation requirements where approved vendor status with major CPOs and Tier 1 integrators often matters more than unit cost.
Why it matters
CPOs planning procurement must now evaluate queue management as core infrastructure rather than optional add on, with vendor selection increasingly driven by validation and integration partnerships rather than price alone. The bifurcation between new build and retrofit creates distinct channel and specification strategies for operators upgrading networks.
