Voltempo and Corpay launch depot charging as a service

Voltempo and Corpay have announced an exclusive strategic partnership to create an integrated commercial model for electric truck and van charging across the UK. The agreement combines Voltempo’s depot-based charging network with Corpay’s global fleet payment platform, energy procurement capability and EV charging infrastructure into a single system.

Under the model, fleet operators can access charging, energy and payments through one platform, avoiding the upfront capital investment typically required for depot charging infrastructure. Corpay’s platform will connect qualifying operators to Voltempo depots, enabling them to locate, book and pay for charging using existing EV charge cards, including the Allstar Chargepass.

The partnership includes a bunkering-style approach to electricity procurement, with both companies buying energy on behalf of customers to support cost certainty and energy resilience. Voltempo’s Depot Charging as a Service (D-CaaS) model installs and manages charging infrastructure at logistics sites on behalf of depot owners, with spare capacity made available to other fleets within the network.

In a statement, Chief Executive Simon Smith said: “This partnership fundamentally changes how the freight industry electrifies. By bringing together charging infrastructure, energy procurement and fleet payments into a single commercial model, we’re removing some of the biggest barriers operators face. We’re demonstrating that electric trucks and vans can be more profitable, more productive and ultimately better for operators’ businesses, with lower emissions as an additional benefit.”
