zuup and Saascharge Partner to Expand Charging Access for Aussie Drivers and Fleets

Melbourne / Zurich - 17th December 2025

zuup, Australia’s driver-first EV charging platform, has teamed up with Saascharge network partners, bringing more than 150 new charge points across 80 locations onto zuup Roam - expanding choice and convenience for Aussie drivers and fleets across the country. And with the Saascharge network on track to reach around 1,000 charge points nationwide within two years, this partnership marks the start of a much bigger expansion ahead.

This partnership marks another major milestone for zuup as Saascharge becomes the first official partner to join zuup Roam - the roaming platform and app designed to make EV charging simple, accessible and reliable for Aussies on the go.

Making charging simple, reliable, and accessible.

Drivers keep telling us the same thing: charging should be easy. It should work every time. It should fit into everyday life - whether you’re commuting A-to-B, grabbing a coffee, road-tripping, or managing a fleet.

Through this partnership, zuup Roam gives drivers access to more charge points in more places - all through one simple app and account. It’s a step toward a future where Aussies can charge where they want, when they want, starting today - with more networks already in the pipeline for early 2026.

Helping CPOs drive utilisation and visibility

As Australia’s charging network expands, roaming is fast becoming the lifeblood of the EV ecosystem - connecting drivers to more chargers and helping operators get greater value from the assets already in the ground.

By joining zuup Roam, the Saascharge network increases visibility to Aussie EV drivers without any additional hardware, billing or operational overheads. It’s a scalable way for CPOs to grow utilisation and revenue while improving the overall charging experience for drivers.

A platform built around real driver needs

zuup Roam isn’t just another charging app - it’s an experience designed around how Aussies actually drive. Every feature is there to create simplicity, confidence and convenience:

• Smart filtering - automatically tailored to your vehicle, so you can see compatible chargers at a glance.
• Local context - check nearby amenities and real-driver reviews before you plug in.
• Smarter charging - set limits and get notifications while you’re on the go.
• Trust at a glance - spot your preferred charging brands and reliable locations instantly.
  
  

James Kleine, Founder and Managing Director at zuup, said:

“We built zuup Roam to deliver the charging experience Aussie drivers expect, shaped by how they actually charge. Partnering with Saascharge as our first roaming partner is a huge moment for zuup, further helping us expand access and bring even more choice to the roads. It’s exactly the kind of collaboration that pushes the whole industry forward.”

Richard Albrecht, Founder and CEO at Saascharge, added:

“The Saascharge platform has been developed with eRoaming as a core element that opens charging access to all EV drivers while driving more traffic to our partner network. This win‑win strategy, proven in Europe, is now being extended today in Australia thanks to zuup, enabling drivers to charge seamlessly across multiple networks with a single subscription - giving them the freedom to travel confidently across the country.”
