Partnership alleviates some of the challenges
that fleets must navigate in the electrification of vehicles such
as range, battery limitations and automated payments
solutions
MESA,
Ariz., June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Verra
Mobility Corporation (NASDAQ: VRRM), a leading provider of smart
mobility technology solutions, announced today a partnership with
all-in-one electric vehicle (EV) fleet management platform Bluedot
to offer charging capabilities to fleet customers. By partnering
with Bluedot, Verra Mobility now offers its fleet customers the
ability to find, charge, and automatically pay for charging at over
80% of public charging stations in the
United States.

"Access to charging is the number one pain point for our fleet
customers utilizing electric vehicles," said Steve Lalla, executive vice president of Verra
Mobility's Commercial Services business. "We are thrilled to
partner with Bluedot to provide added convenience for our customers
with an improved experience to easily locate and pay for charging.
Commercial fleet EV adoption is driving the emergence of new
technology, and partnerships like this with Bluedot are especially
important for Verra Mobility, as we always want to provide
solutions for customers' current and future needs."
Fleets are transitioning to electric options due to the
sustainable and environmental benefits. New legislation in
California requires the
electrification of fleets, and some of the largest fleet operators
in the world including Walmart and Amazon have announced plans to
transform their fleets in the next decade. However, charging
remains a top pain point for fleet owners. According to McKinsey,
public charging infrastructure needs significant expansion to meet
future demands, with projections indicating a need for up to 1.2
million public chargers in the U.S. by 2030. And while 75-80% of EV
owners in the U.S. and EU should have access to home charging,
fleet owners and operators struggle to accurately track and
reimburse home charging costs for their drivers.
Bluedot offers an all-in-one platform that automates payments
for public charging. This system consolidates billing across
different networks, simplifying the management process and reducing
administrative burdens. In addition, Bluedot provides comprehensive
home charging solutions, including detailed tracking and automated
reimbursement processes.
"Verra Mobility's value proposition aligned perfectly with
Bluedot," said Martin Hamedani, vice
president of partnerships at Bluedot. "We are committed to making
it easier for fleet owners to manage and charge electric vehicles.
Verra Mobility provides automated payment solutions for leading
fleets in the United States. We
knew our solution would be a great fit to their offerings and
smooth the transition to a fully electric fleet."
Verra Mobility provides services to fleets including the
management of toll payments, violation processing and title and
registration services. Its fleet management services are utilized
by major fleet owners, operators, and managers to conveniently and
automatically pay more than 300 million annual toll transactions
and violation fees for more than seven million vehicles
globally.
As part of the original partnership deal, Verra Mobility will
now offer Bluedot's fleet EV charging solution to new and existing
customers. For more information about Verra Mobility's fleet
