Powering a Sustainable Future: The Strategic Partnership Between Star Charge and Zero Emission
In today’s rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, strategic partnerships are essential to drive scalable, intelligent, and sustainable solutions. That’s why we at ZeroMission are thrilled to announce our partnership with Star Charge, a global leader with over two million EV chargers deployed worldwide. Together, we are reshaping the future of fleet electrification—combining deep data intelligence with proven hardware reliability to empower fleet managers on their zero-emission journey.
Uniting Innovation with Purpose
In a recent conversation with Jonathan Schofield, Sales Director at Star Charge, we explored the vision, values, and practical benefits behind this exciting collaboration. As Jonathan explained:
“The market is evolving fast, and fleet electrification is one of the most dynamic segments. What excites us about working with ZeroMission is the ability to integrate your powerful data tools with our hardware solutions to create an ecosystem where fleet managers feel confident about their transition.”
This confidence stems from aligning around a common goal: accelerating the adoption of clean, intelligent transport systems through data, technology, and shared innovation.
Why ZeroMission? Why Now?
From Star Charge’s perspective, the key drivers behind this partnership include:
Scalability and Reliability: ZeroMission’s predictive maintenance and AI-powered insights allow Star Charge to enhance reliability across its networks—ensuring chargers are deployed and used efficiently.
Data-Driven Decisions: Our digital twin technology empowers fleet operators to simulate real-world conditions, optimize deployment, and avoid over-investing in under-utilized infrastructure.
Enhanced ESG Outcomes: With granular tracking and reporting of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, our platforms help customers meet environmental goals and regulatory requirements with precision.
“It’s all about future-proofing. Your platform helps stakeholders plan for tomorrow while maximizing ROI today,” Jonathan added.
The Environmental and Community Impact
One of the most powerful benefits of this partnership is its potential to improve both global carbon emissions and localized air quality.
Take school buses, for example. Transitioning from diesel to electric significantly reduces tailpipe emissions—directly improving the air children breathe daily. With ZeroMission’s data and Star Charge’s hardware, we can now measure and verify these changes in real-time, strengthening the case for cleaner public fleets.
Supporting Equitable Electrification
Another crucial aspect we discussed was ensuring no community is left behind. Many underserved regions lack the upfront capital or expertise to invest in EV infrastructure. Our partnership aims to bridge that gap by:
Providing tools that reduce risk and increase confidence for decision-makers
Supporting grant and rebate optimization with robust reporting
Ingesting and analyzing ICE vehicle data to guide incremental transition strategies
“This isn’t about one-size-fits-all—it’s about making smart, data-informed decisions that benefit the broader community,” Jonathan shared.
Looking Ahead
Star Charge is developing high-powered charging products tailored for fleet environments. When combined with ZeroMission’s AI-driven insights, these solutions will enable scalable, reliable, and cost-effective EV transitions across industries.
“We’re not just reacting to problems—we’re proactively preventing them through predictive analytics. This is the future of charging infrastructure,” Jonathan concluded.
Final Thoughts
As we close this first chapter, I want to personally thank Jonathan and the Star Charge team for their vision, energy, and commitment to sustainability. What started as a spark of insight during CES has grown into a robust partnership poised to deliver real-world impact.
We’ll keep you updated on milestones as this partnership grows—and as always, we welcome fleet operators, planners, and sustainability leaders to connect with us and explore how we can support your zero-emission goals.
Together, we’re powering a sustainable future.
