LOS ANGELES and BRENTWOOD, Tenn., June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Comdata Inc., a Corpay brand and world leader in payment innovation, and Hubject, a global leader in eMobility solutions, have joined forces in a strategic partnership to provide roaming and Plug&Charge capabilities to Comdata’s customers in North America.
Comdata’s integration with Hubject enables fleets to access and pay on thousands of electric vehicle (EV) chargers across the United States and Canada. It also provides a streamlined authentication method via the Hubject Plug&Charge ecosystem – giving fleets a hassle-free alternative to the traditional app-based or credit card terminal methods of starting a charging session.
By adhering to the ISO 15118-2 standard, the Hubject Plug&Charge solution delivers a secure approach to EV charging, following strict cybersecurity requirements while maintaining ease in charging experience. The adoption of vehicle-based authentication for EV charging (i.e., Plug&Charge) offers fleets an extra layer of fraud prevention and security when paying for public charging.
"We are excited to be partnering with Comdata as they continue to innovate and support the smooth transition to electric for their partners,” said Trishan Peruma, CEO of Hubject North America. "Together, we will be harnessing technologies such as Plug&Charge for fleet drivers, reducing complexity, and making EV charging seamless, secure, and interoperable.”
