EV Connect and Presto Deliver Advanced Tools for Expanding EV Fleet and Ride-Hailing Fast-Charging
EV Connect, a leading EV charging business platform, and Presto, a leading roaming platform for electric vehicle (EV) fleets on the go, announced a new collaboration that enhances charging network infrastructure and expands accessibility for EV fleet drivers. Fleet operators will benefit from the Presto app's comprehensive platform, which allows their EV drivers to quickly locate, charge, and pay at more than 16,000 EV Connect connectors, delivering a more convenient and reliable fast-charging experience at more charging stations.
The collaboration empowers charging network operators on the EV Connect platform with strategic pricing flexibility, enabling those charging providers to increase visibility and charging session demand from fleet vehicle operators and to maximize site utilization dynamically. Leveraging Presto's extensive relationships with various fleet market segments—including rental car, ride-hailing, e-commerce, and food-delivery services—the collaboration provides a streamlined solution for charging networks to increase fleet engagement and charging sessions.
“Charging networks on the EV Connect platform can now attract even more fleet charging demand through this collaboration with Presto,” said Bassem Ammouri, chief operating officer at EV Connect. “With successfully completed charging sessions as a key focus, the next logical step is to help our customers increase their ROI by growing the number of charging sessions per station. That is exactly what this collaboration can do for our site and network operators, showing once again that EV Connect is the premier charging business platform, capable of building third-party business models on top of highly reliable charging.”
Presto simplifies charging by enabling fleet drivers to seamlessly find, charge, and pay across thousands of charging stations operated by Presto’s charging partners through one easy-to-use app or API. Presto helps onboard more fleet charging demand for its charging partners, grow charger utilization, and improve charging economics.
“We’re excited for fleets using Presto to access charging across the 16,000 EV Connect charging connectors nationwide and to work with EV Connect site hosts on optimizing the demand they can get from fleets,” said JJ Raynor, CFO & Co-Founder of Presto.
EV Connect equips charging networks with a comprehensive suite of tools to build and scale EV charging services that meet the needs of site hosts, fleet drivers, and network operators. From enabling flexible pricing strategies to supporting remote management, hardware choice, and driver engagement, the EV Connect platform helps partners improve performance, increase charging sessions, and deliver a reliable charging experience across locations.
