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.

Hyundai Motor India Limited has expanded its myHyundai mobile application to provide access to more than 30,000 EV charging points across India, available to all EV brands. The aggregated network, built through partnerships with multiple charge point operators, offers charging within an average 25 kilometre radius and covers key intercity highway routes. Hyundai also operates 183 DC fast charging stations (60 kW to 240 kW) across 105 cities, all open to any manufacturer's vehicles.

Why it matters: The aggregation model demonstrates how OEMs can drive interoperability and reduce app fragmentation for EV drivers, potentially influencing procurement strategies for fleets and public networks. Coverage of intercity corridors and open access to Hyundai's own 183 fast chargers signals growing infrastructure maturity in a major emerging EV market.

Arnold Clark Charge has partnered with Radius to give fleet operators access to its network of over 400 chargers across more than 60 UK locations, most featuring ultra-rapid units up to 150kW. Launched in 2024 as part of a £30m investment, the network will now be available to around 500,000 Radius fuel and EV charge cardholders at a rate of 55p per kWh. The Arnold Clark Charge app allows users to reserve charging slots in advance.

Why it matters: The deal significantly expands fleet access to a large, privately funded charging network and demonstrates how partnerships between charge point operators and fleet payment providers can accelerate commercial EV adoption. The 55p per kWh tariff and slot reservation feature address two key fleet pain points: cost predictability and operational planning.

Fleet solutions provider Radius has expanded its UK EV charging network by 20,000 chargers over the past year, part of a 220,000 charger addition across Europe. The growth came through 16 new roaming partners, including GreenFlux (70,000 chargers), Monta (34,500), and Allegro (32,000), with the UK network now incorporating 3,000 InstaVolt and 2,000 Gridserve chargers. Radius cards facilitated 42.6 million kWh of charging over the period.

Why it matters: The rapid aggregation of roaming partners signals intensifying competition among fleet charge card providers to offer comprehensive network access, a key procurement criterion for corporate fleet operators. The 42.6 million kWh transaction volume demonstrates material fleet adoption and validates the business case for CPOs partnering with multi network platforms.

Hyundai Motor India has integrated access to more than 30,000 charging points nationwide through its myHyundai app, partnering with multiple charge point operators to offer brand agnostic booking and payment. The company currently operates 183 DC fast charging stations (60 kW to 240 kW) across 105 cities and aims to expand its proprietary network to 600 stations by 2030, targeting strategic urban sites, highways and dealerships. The network covers major corridors including Delhi to Jaipur, Mumbai to Bengaluru and Chennai to Bengaluru, with charging available within an average 25 km radius.

Why it matters: The 30,000 point aggregation demonstrates how OEM apps are becoming procurement channels for independent CPOs, while Hyundai's plan to triple its owned estate to 600 stations by 2030 signals sustained capex in India's public charging market. The brand agnostic access model may pressure other networks to join aggregation platforms or risk losing utilisation to integrated ecosystems.

EV charging provider Source has partnered with business mobility provider Radius to give Radius cardholders access to Source's DC fast charging hubs across the UK and Ireland. Radius customers, with 500,000 cards in circulation, can now charge at Source hubs using existing RFID cards, with costs consolidated through Radius's Velocity management platform. Source plans to open 300 fast EV charging hubs across the UK and Ireland by 2030, with all chargers delivering at least 150 kW of power and powered by renewable energy using technology from TotalEnergies and infrastructure from SSE.

Why it matters: The partnership expands fleet access to high power charging infrastructure without requiring new accounts or apps, addressing a key barrier to commercial EV adoption. Source's 300 hub rollout target by 2030 represents significant procurement opportunity for charge point operators and fleet managers seeking consolidated billing solutions.

Goa's state-run Kadamba Transport Corporation Ltd (KTC) has proposed procuring 100 new electric buses this year, comprising 60 nine-metre and 40 twelve-metre units, pending government financial approval. KTC currently operates 171 electric buses and 485 diesel buses, with charging infrastructure for the new fleet tentatively planned at a depot in Ponda. Separately, KTC has proposed deploying 87 electric vehicles under a centrally sponsored scheme within a 15 kilometre radius of Panaji, where charging infrastructure is already in place at Kadamba bus stand.

Why it matters: The 100-bus procurement signals a substantial expansion opportunity for bus OEMs and charging infrastructure providers in Goa, particularly as KTC phases out ageing diesel vehicles, with 19 buses reaching 15 years of service by December 2025. The separate 87-vehicle central scheme adds further near-term demand for depot charging solutions in the Panaji area.
