In a release from Mercedes and Rightcharge is says that "the agreement demonstrated a mutual commitment to supporting electric fleets". It goes on to outline that both companies are set to release new products in 2024. Mercedes will launch its updated Mercedes-Benz eSprinter in the UK with a massive 113kWh battery, while Rightcharge is set to launch its own electric fuel card and fleet management solution.

Rightcharge CEO Charlie Cook said:
"We are thrilled to collaborate with a brand that is as loved and respected as Mercedes-Benz as we work closely together to simplify the transition to electric vans. Businesses and van drivers can now find the perfect charge point for their needs in just a few clicks. We're excited to further develop this relationship and create a more sustainable future for Britain."

Sarah Palfreyman, Sales Director of Mercedes-Benz Vans in the UK commented:
