To make electric vehicle charging easier than old-school refuelling
40% female employees
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.

Charlie is proving to be one of a handful of incredibly supportive Managers I have worked with. Through constructive feedback, displaying real empathy and employing his knowledge to support at client presentations, I'm feeling confident that what I'm doing is adding value to the overall sales process and achievement of business goals.

As I am a parent to 12 year old twins and a 9 year old, my partner and I typically have to balance work and home life. This is made so much easier when the flexibility is there to work for home, have the autonomy to choose when and where to work but also be trusted to apportion time appropriately. This approach has allowed me further appreciate the benefit of working physically alongside the team when needed (communication is free flowing).

I joined Rightcharge at the start of October working in operations and data analysis. I really appreciate the responsibility and trust given to me so early in my career, allowing me to learn quickly through doing, not just observing. The best part is that with the responsibility comes a huge amount of support, making me feel more confident in my decisions.

When I joined Rightcharge, I had just finished my engineering degree with very little understanding of what was involved in working at a rapidly growing start-up. My progression in Rightcharge has been interest driven, and autonomy is encouraged - allowing for everyone to own what they are working on, leading to natural opportunities to learn.

Whilst only small in size, diversity in age, background and interests makes for a very welcoming environment to work in. I have never felt my opinion was not valued - a very genuine bunch who all want to make a positive impact.

Charlie has a lot on his plate, but always makes time for important discussions. Weekly 1-1 catch-ups are usually very productive, giving time to raise any concerns or ask for help or advice on a particular task. Charlie genuinely cares about your well-being and never hesitates to get stuck in.
