Rally vs Chargemap: A Fleet-First Alternative to a Consumer Charging Pass
Chargemap Pass is one of the most recognised consumer EV charging passes in France. Rally is a single Visa-backed fleet spend platform that covers fuel, EV charging, tolls, parking, and broader approved business spend across Europe.

Head-to-Head
How Rally compares to Chargemap, feature by feature.
Charge-point access, cross-border use, fuel coverage, admin, and broader spend - see where Rally and Chargemap differ for fleets.
Chargemap is a long-established French EV charging brand with a familiar map-led app and a roaming charging pass. The Chargemap Pass aggregates many European charging operators behind one consumer-facing card and per-driver account. That model is excellent for individual EV drivers, but it leaves fleet teams managing separate cards, invoices, and tools for fuel, EV charging, tolls, parking, and broader spend. Rally takes a different approach: one Visa-backed fleet spend platform that handles all of that on a single card per driver.
One open-network platform
A single Visa-backed card and unified operating system covers fuel, charging, tolls, parking, maintenance, and wider business spend.
Consumer charging-pass aggregator
Chargemap Pass aggregates European charging operators behind one consumer card and account.
EV plus fuel acceptance
Drivers charge across major European charging networks and refuel anywhere Visa is accepted, on the same card.
Charging-network only
Chargemap covers a broad European public-charging footprint, but does not pay for fuel, tolls, parking, or other fleet spend.
No app friction
Core flows work through WhatsApp, SMS, RFID, or the card itself, so drivers do not need extra apps or logins to stay compliant.
Chargemap app and pass
Drivers manage charging through the Chargemap app and pass, with no link to fuel, tolls, parking, or expense workflows.
Receipt-to-ledger automation
All transactions are matched with AI, VAT is extracted, and records sync directly into accounting systems.
Per-driver invoicing
Chargemap invoices each driver as a consumer account, leaving fleet finance to consolidate, reconcile, and post manually.
Simple and transparent
Flat pricing per active driver, no hidden admin fees, no minimum spend, and no deposits or credit checks.
Roaming markup pricing
Pricing typically includes per-session and per-kWh markups on top of operator tariffs, varying by network.
Countries with EV charging
Rally Charge delivers cross-border EV charging across 20+ European countries on the same Visa-backed card that pays for fuel, tolls, and parking.
Acceptance for fuel and broader spend
Rally works anywhere Visa is accepted, so fleets can stop juggling Chargemap for EVs and a separate carte carburant for fuel and other spend.
Accounting integrations
Rally connects straight into the finance stack instead of stopping at consumer Chargemap invoices.

Why Rally
Built for fleets, not for consumer EV drivers.
Rally gives French and European operators wider acceptance, simpler economics, and less admin without splitting fleet spend across consumer charging passes, fuel cards, and expense tools.
Charging plus fuel on one card
Drivers carry one Visa-backed card that works at chargers and pumps across Europe, instead of a Chargemap pass for EVs and a carte carburant for everything else.
Lower total fleet spend
Open-market acceptance avoids the per-session and per-kWh roaming markups stacked on consumer charging passes.
One platform for all spend
Rally covers fuel, charging, tolls, parking, maintenance, and broader business purchases without splitting work into separate consumer products.
App-free driver workflows
Core tasks happen in channels drivers already use, instead of consumer charging apps designed for personal cars.
Built-in accounting automation
Receipt capture, AI matching, VAT extraction, and direct integrations remove manual work that per-driver Chargemap invoices still leave behind.
Fleet controls and visibility
Per-driver, per-vehicle controls and real-time alerts replace consumer-style account management.

Why Fleets Switch
Five reasons fleets are moving from Chargemap to Rally.
What changes when fleets move from a consumer charging pass to an open-network fleet spend platform.
01
EV and fuel sit on one card
Drivers stop carrying a Chargemap pass for EVs plus a carte carburant for diesel and petrol vehicles.
02
Cross-border trips became simpler
One card covers French and European EV charging plus fuel, tolls, and parking on the same routes.
03
Roaming markups disappeared
Rally avoids the per-session and per-kWh markup pattern that grows on consumer roaming charging passes.
04
Finance stopped reconciling per-driver invoices
Receipt capture, VAT extraction, and direct integrations replace the work of consolidating individual Chargemap invoices in finance.
05
Multiple tools collapsed into one
Rally combines fuel, charging, tolls, parking, maintenance, and broader approved spend without asking fleets to manage separate consumer products.
