What have you been up to in 2024?
In 2024, Paua focused on expanding its innovative solutions, including developing fraud detection tools for EV charging sessions and refining a reimbursement system for business and home charging. We also enable the sharing of depots between commercial fleets (super valuable for local authorities and blue lights). We collaborated with partners to tackle data reliability challenges and supported businesses transitioning to electric fleets, while also advocating for more efficient and transparent EV fleet management.

What are your plans for the future?
Paua aims to become the leading EV fleet management platform, enhancing its fraud detection algorithms and reimbursement solutions while growing its network coverage. We plan to strengthen partnerships with charging operators and businesses, drive sustainable practices, and innovate new tools to make EV adoption easier and more cost-effective for fleet managers.
