Dear Fleet Manager,
Managing a fleet of electric vehicles can be both exciting and exhausting. This is understandable, since there is a lot more involved than just loading the car. Where you as Fleet Manager are looking for one optimal solution, your employees are asking for more. Greater flexibility, ease of use and transparency…
These days, we see you running from one EV trade show to another, with piles of brochures of different charging stations in your hands. But what if the optimal solution is precisely not a fixed installation?
Meet the solution that will significantly simplify your life as a Fleet Manager.

1. Flexibility at the Top
Imagine having the freedom to charge your electric vehicles anywhere, anytime. Portable and lightweight, it is as easy to carry as your thermos in the morning. This new flexibility means you can adapt to changing conditions, charge your EVs wherever you want, and say goodbye to waiting for available charging stations. The unique adapter and click system allows you to transform virtually any power source into a charging point in no time.
2. Compatibility at Its Best
NRGkick is compatible with all types of electric vehicles with Type-2 connectors, regardless of make or model. So, whether you manage a diverse fleet or just love choices, NRGkick has you covered. It is truly the Swiss Army knife of EV charging.
3. Load to your preference
With adjustable charging currents ranging from 6A to 32A, NRGkick puts control in your hands. Need a quick top-up? Turn up the power for a quick recharge. Do you want to be more energy efficient? Turn it down and save on your electricity bill. In addition, you can take advantage of time-controlled charging, which allows you to set charging times and reduce your peak consumption. This not only benefits your short-term budget, but will also lead to more favorable contracts with your electricity supplier.
4. Reports and Communications with Charging Partners.
Let NRGkick take the administrative hassle off your hands. With this smart cable, it becomes easy to retrieve regular charging reports that contain all the necessary information to reimburse your employees for their home charging, and if desired, also for public charging (depending on employer agreements). This smart split-billing feature may seem like a challenge for large fleets, but for larger fleets the integration with OCPP 1.6 offers a convenient solution. This automatically transmits your employees’ charging data to the charging platform. Reimbursement is then handled by the charging partner, significantly reducing the administrative burden for both your employees and your fleet management. All you have to do is choose which charging partner you wish to work with. This makes charge management a seamless and efficient experience.
5. Goodbye to installation worries
NRGkick’s plug-and-play design is a boon for fleet managers. You don’t need expensive and time-consuming installations, inspections or certified charging station installers. Just plug it in and you are ready to charge your electric cars. And if an employee leaves, the solution is equally simple: take the cable back, reinitialize it and it can go right along with the next employee.
6. Reliable and Future-proof
Suppose your fleet consists primarily of hybrid vehicles. After a lease period of several years, these will most likely have to be swapped out for all-electric vehicles. No problem, just purchase a new adapter and your employees can still charge at home with an impressive 22 kW, as much (or even more) than at a fixed charging station (AC)!
7. Charging with Solar Energy
Did you know that with NRGkick you can use the solar energy generated at your employees’ homes to charge their cars? Via WiFi, the cable communicates with inverters or smart meters, allowing you to make optimal use of self-generated energy. You can choose to charge exclusively with solar power or use it to supplement the regular power grid, providing you with significant savings.
In conclusion, NRGkick is much more than a charging cable. It is every fleet manager’s faithful companion. Its portability, compatibility and adaptability make it the ideal replacement for rigid charging solutions.
