New EV solution helps reduce administrative burden for businesses with mixed fleets
MELBOURNE – April 21, 2026 – WEX® (NYSE:WEX), a global leader in intelligent payment solutions, today launches a new way for Australian fleets to manage fuel and EV charging through the WEX Motorpass® payments dashboard with the integration of the Chargefox EV charging platform. The move offers access to thousands of EV charging plugs and a unique digital payments infrastructure.
Delivered in partnership with Australian Motoring Services, operators of Chargefox, the feature makes Motorpass the only multi-brand fuel card in Australia to offer digital EV charging payments. It aims to help businesses with current and transitioning mixed-fleets, with access to Australia’s largest EV charging network.
As tough emissions reduction targets drive electric vehicle adoption across Australian businesses, over one-third of fleet managers expect EVs to be their primary vehicle type by 2030, requiring rapid infrastructure development and innovation to support the fast-paced transition. Matt Arthur, Vice President and General Manager of WEX Australia, reinforced the critical role of vehicle fleets as a key contributor in the national energy transition.
“Electric vehicles are key to the energy transition in Australia. Providing simplified access to charging infrastructure nationwide is essential to supporting businesses through the transition with confidence,” he said.
“The introduction of digital payments infrastructure that combines EV charging capabilities with multi-brand fuel access, while supporting driver confidence through a single app, is a crucial next step to ease the burden on businesses as they navigate the energy transition.”
Delivering on driver confidence
Range anxiety remains a key barrier in Australia’s transition to electric business vehicles. As of late 2025, range anxiety was listed as the main point of hesitation in as many as 60% of EV purchase decisions. For businesses requiring vehicles to complete long-haul journeys, charger access becomes a key friction point in EV transition.
With the launch of the WEX Motorpass EV payments capability, the app’s advanced route planning feature equips drivers with the ability to easily locate and access public EV chargers along their route, reducing travel inefficiencies and subsequent costs to the business.
The Motorpass Driver app offers widespread access to over 3,000 public charging ports nationally. The native integration with Chargefox enables drivers to identify and access available chargers along their route, reducing pressure on depot charging schedules and grid restraints.
Streamlining mixed-fleet admin
The WEX-Chargefox integration , allows fleet managers to track, manage, and report on EV charging and fuel transactions through WEX’s online platform, helping to remove a significant administrative burden for mixed-fleet managers.
“As fleets transition to EVs, reducing complexity makes a real difference,” said Islam Hassan, Chief Customer Officer, at Australian Motoring Services, operators of Chargefox. “By integrating charging into the WEX Motorpass app, we’re giving mixed fleets one familiar platform across all vehicles. It streamlines reporting and compliance for managers, and keeps things simple for drivers, with no extra apps, and no new processes.”
Single-system digital payments further simplifies data analytics for mixed fleets. Fleet managers, finance teams and business decision-makers can access, collate, and review data across all vehicles, including other costs such as maintenance, tolls, and car washes. This increased control helps give a more accurate picture of vehicle usage and cost of ownership, consolidated insights generated with near-real time visibility.
WEX’s EV functionality can be added to customers’ existing Motorpass fuel cards within one business day, with no need to reissue new cards, supporting almost immediate mixed-fleet integration. Motorpass customers can access the feature from Tuesday, 21 April.
