The switch to electric company cars brings plenty of benefits. But besides choosing the car, a new question lands on the table: where and how will employees charge their car?

For fleet managers, electrification therefore means more than a change in the fleet. It also adds an extra layer of infrastructure: charging points, installations, reimbursements, access management, maintenance and monitoring of charging consumption.

All this while a fleet manager mainly wants to focus on the fleet itself.

One electric car, one charging point?

With the first electric company cars, the solution seems simple: install a charging station at the employee’s home and you’re done.

But as the number of electric cars grows, the story becomes more complex.

What if an employee moves house?
What if someone lives in a rented home?
What if a new employee gets a company car after a few months?
And what happens to the charging station when an employee leaves the company?

A fixed charging station is a great solution when the situation is stable. But a fleet isn’t always stable.

The charging solution can simply go with the car

That’s where a mobile charging solution such as the NRGkick comes in.

Instead of installing a fixed charging station for every driver, the electric company car gets a charging solution that simply travels with the car.

The employee can charge at home via a suitable connection, but the NRGkick can also be used at other locations. Does the employee move house? Then the charging solution simply moves along.

No new charging station needed. No new installation. No infrastructure left behind when the car leaves.

Less infrastructure, more flexibility

For companies with a growing electric fleet, that flexibility can be very attractive.

A fleet manager no longer has to think exclusively in terms of:

“Where do we need to install a charging station?”

But can also think:

“Which charging solution does this driver need?”

The NRGkick can combine several functions. Depending on the configuration, the charging solution can, among other things, adjust the charging power, monitor charging consumption and communicate via WiFi, Bluetooth or mobile connectivity.

This also opens up possibilities for companies focusing on smart charging and energy management.

And what about reimbursement for home charging?

Another important part of electric driving is the correct registration of charging consumption.

When an employee charges the company car at home, the employer naturally wants to know how much energy was used for the company car. The NRGkick can accurately record the energy charged.

In this way, the NRGkick not only combines flexibility with smart charging functions, but also enables correct monitoring of home charging.

Fleet management without charge point management

Electrifying a fleet doesn’t automatically mean that a company has to manage a full charging station infrastructure at every employee’s home.

Sometimes a fixed charging station is the right solution. In other situations, a mobile charging solution offers more flexibility.

So the most important question isn’t always:

“Where do we install a charging station?”

But rather:

“How do we make sure our employees can charge easily, smartly and correctly?”

With the NRGkick, the electric company car gets a charging solution that moves with the driver, the car and the changing needs of the fleet.

Fleet managers manage cars. Not charging points.
