Our take

Ever since the UK government’s announcement that it will ban the sale of new petrol and diesel engine vehicles in the 2030s, EV ownership has grown significantly in popularity. In fact, it is estimated that 10 million people will make the switch over the next 10 years and it is purchases by businesses and fleets that are driving demand. There is more choice than ever for cars, chargers and energy tariffs. Thousands of businesses hand out 'fuel cards' to pay for fuel for their company vehicle. However, this becomes hugely complicated when that vehicle is electric.

Rightcharge is setting out to solve this with their Electric Fuel Card. Businesses hand a Rightcharge card to their employee, which can be used on different over 30 public charging networks. They can also cover their employees' home charging costs by paying off part of their energy bill via Rightcharge's split-billing technology. Finally, they can gather data on workplace charging to give the business 360-degree management of all EV charging costs in their fleet.

This product launches Rightcharge into the B2B market, having covered the B2C market since 2019, and they're taking on multi-billion dollar global giants in the fuel card market. They believe they have the technical advantage to win and they're building the team to scale.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Rightcharge

  • A diverse team creates a dynamic, fun and positive company culture. We're not here to build a company full of the same person. That would be rather dull. I (Charlie, the Founder) am incredibly keen to make sure that Rightcharge continues to be a place where your gender, age, race or sexual orientation has no impact on your opportunities, or how comfortable you feel working here. In addition to a diverse team simply creating an interesting & positive environment to work in, a diverse team can give us the edge on the competition. 'Rebel Ideas' by Matthew Syed (if you haven't read it yet) is a brilliant book that explains why companies with diverse teams outperform those with homogenous ones. Essentially, more varied backgrounds and perspectives leads to more creative solutions to problems - ones that your more homogenous competitors will miss. Regardless of who you are and where you come from, please apply to join Rightcharge. You're welcome.
