WEX launches WEX EV Depot, its new EV charging and payment feature

Payment-processing and fleet-management company WEX, headquartered in Portland, Maine, has introduced WEX EV Depot, a new by-subscription feature of its charging platform designed to simplify charging at private facilities when using the WEX Fleet Card.

With the platform’s existing En Route public charging and At-Home capabilities, WEX now offers streamlined EV charging payments at depot, public and at-home charging locations. 

For fleet operators, WEX EV Depot is included in a reporting system that allows management of both EV chargers from any source and fuel transactions on a WEX fleet credit line. Also included is the WEX EV Depot Mapping tool that allows fleets to direct drivers to preferred depots or private charging locations, whether or not the chargers are connected to the internet.

For drivers, a WEX-issued RFID tag allows easy EV charging payments at private chargers in addition to the WEX public network of nearly 150,000 stations. And the WEX DriverDash smartphone payment app allows for charger activation for cross-vendor public and private chargers.

“With WEX EV Depot, we are helping customers navigate the complexity of infrastructure rollout and giving them tools to operate efficiently at scale with a 360-degree solution,” said Carlos Carriedo, COO, Americas Payments & Mobility at WEX.
