Activities

The aggregation of charge point networks into a single mobile application and EV Charge card is an electric vehicle solution similar to traditional fuel cards. The company services business customers and provides a white label solution for customers such as cinch, part of the Constellation Automotive Group, in the form of cinchCharge.5 In 2022 Paua partnered with Moove to enable "Moove Charge" a white label application for private licence hire electric vehicle drivers6. Paua partnered with Motability Operations in 2024 to launch "Go Charge" a service for Motability Scheme customers7.

Paua is the largest roaming network in the UK claiming 43,000 connectors8 at February 2024. Charging network partners include IONITY, GRIDSERVE,9 Osprey,10 Fastned,11 Applegreen electric,12 Instavolt13 and others. Paua is the first and only company to have integrated the Scottish network, ChargePlace Scotland.14

The Electric Vehicle Rally run by Greenfleet used the Paua EV charge card in 2022, 2023 and 2024 to support drivers travelling the length of Great Britain.1516

Paua has worked on a number of UK Government funded initiatives including a solution to share private electric vehicle charging depots with other drivers.17 Following integration with DAF Truck partners, Motus and Ford & Slater, this adds a further 16 sites to the shared depot network18. The addition of the Fleete truck charging site at Tilbury makes Paua the "UK's largest aggregated truck charging network"19.
