Arnold Clark Charge, which operates over 400 chargers at 60 locations across the UK (most offering 150 kW speeds), has partnered with fueling network Radius to give its 500,000 subscribers access to the charging network. The deal extends Arnold Clark Charge's reach to more fleet operators and EV drivers, according to Pablo Levi, Group Sustainability Manager at Arnold Clark. The partnership was announced on 31 July 2026.

Why it matters: The tie up gives fleet managers using Radius payment cards immediate access to 60 new charging sites, expanding procurement options for operators seeking ultra rapid charging at competitive rates. It also signals how dealership owned charging networks are integrating with established fuel card platforms to capture commercial fleet demand.

Tesla and Hyundai have submitted objections to a proposed New South Wales EV road tax during a parliamentary inquiry, arguing it would penalise electric vehicle owners more than hybrid drivers. Tesla calculated that a Toyota Yaris Hybrid driving the Australian average of 11,025 km annually contributes 249.25 dollars in fuel GST and excise, meaning any EV road user charge above 1.62 cents per kilometre would see EVs paying more tax than comparable petrol hybrids. Hyundai described the outcome as perverse, while most submissions to the inquiry have opposed the tax, with motoring group NRMA a notable exception.

Why it matters: A state based road user charge that disadvantages EVs relative to hybrids could slow fleet electrification and undermine the business case for charge point operators relying on growing EV adoption. The inquiry outcome may influence policy settings in other Australian states considering similar levies.

A Frontier Group analysis has identified US states where electric vehicles pay more in road taxes than equivalent petrol-powered cars, though the report does not specify which states or the scale of the difference. The findings come as states grapple with replacing fuel-duty revenue as EV adoption grows. The research was published via Google News.

Why it matters: Uneven road-tax regimes can distort total cost of ownership calculations for fleet operators and public charging site developers, particularly where higher EV fees reduce the economic case for electrification or dampen local uptake.

Motor Fuel Group has partnered with Morrisons to offer five Morrisons More Points for every £1 spent at MFG EV Power charging bays, coinciding with the installation of 250 additional ultra rapid chargers at Morrisons forecourts this year. MFG, which acquired Morrisons forecourts in 2024, is pursuing a £400 million infrastructure programme to deploy more than 3,000 ultra rapid chargers at 500 sites across the UK by 2030. The loyalty integration is positioned as part of a customer focused charging experience at the combined estate.

Why it matters: The 250 bay rollout at Morrisons sites in 2025 represents a significant near term deployment opportunity for contractors and equipment suppliers tied to MFG's wider 3,000 charger programme. Loyalty scheme integration may influence site selection and design specifications as operators compete to embed charging into retail customer journeys.

More Fuel Group has partnered with Morrisons to allow customers to earn loyalty points when charging electric vehicles at its network. The scheme integrates EV charging with the supermarket's existing rewards programme, though specific point values and rollout timelines were not disclosed. Business Motoring reported the tie up, which aims to drive footfall and dwell time at Morrisons locations equipped with chargers.

Why it matters: Loyalty point integration can differentiate charge point operators in competitive retail settings and may influence site selection for grocery anchored developments. The model also signals how CPOs are bundling charging with broader consumer incentives to improve utilisation and customer stickiness.
