Michelin is making 1.2 million charging stations available to fleets. One card and cost control
Michelin is introducing MICHELIN EV Charge in Europe for companies using electric fleets. Drivers will have access to over 1.2 million charging points through a single card and app, while managers can link energy bills to data collected from the vehicles.
One card instead of multiple apps
MICHELIN EV Charge is not another charging network. It is a service that provides access to public infrastructure from multiple operators, designed primarily for fleets. Drivers can search for stations in the app, check availability of spots, plan trips, and start charging without setting up separate accounts with various providers.
Michelin promises transparent insight into costs, no additional network fees, and access to negotiated rates in selected cases. However, no pricing list or list of operators has been provided, so it is currently impossible to determine whether charging will indeed be cheaper than options available directly through individual networks. The figure of 1.2 million points is impressive, but it represents the manufacturer’s claim regarding service coverage.
The problem Michelin aims to solve is not minor. The Arval Mobility Observatory 2026 Barometer shows that 57 percent of European fleets already use electric vehicles. Another 19 percent of companies plan to adopt them within the next three years. With more cars, separate cards, tariffs, and invoices quickly stop being minor inconveniences.
Data from the car will show expensive charging sessions
The strength of the new service lies in its integration with the MyConnectedFleet platform, part of the MICHELIN Connected Fleet ecosystem. Charging data will be combined with vehicle telematics,即 information sent by the car itself. Distance traveled, energy consumption, battery charge level, and charging station usage will all be available in one place.
This connection can reveal cars that are regularly charged at expensive stations or charging sessions that do not match the fleet’s routes and actual needs. Michelin aims to use this information to provide recommendations for charging and energy planning.
Sophie Foucque, president of MICHELIN Connected Fleet, talks about providing companies with “a more detailed view of vehicle usage and specific tools to help reduce energy costs.” Only data from operational fleets will show how much can actually be saved.
The materials provided do not include information on the price of MICHELIN EV Charge or the exact timeline for launching the service in various markets. Without these two details, it is still difficult to compare Michelin’s offering with existing corporate roaming cards.
