Depotcharge lands €2.7M and BGL partnership to scale electric truck charging

Munich-based Depotcharge has secured €2.7 million in pre-seed funding to expand its shared charging infrastructure platform for electric road freight. The round, led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), saw participation from xdeck Ventures, Kopa Ventures, Prequel Ventures, and business angels from logistics, e-mobility, and energy sectors.

Depotcharge's platform connects unused charging capacity at depots with other fleets, enabling logistics companies to monetize their idle charging points while gaining access to broader infrastructure. The company's BGL Charge initiative, a partnership with the German logistics association BGL e.V., will launch a shared charging network across Germany's road freight sector.

Through this collaboration, participating depot operators can open their unused charging points to other fleets while retaining control over pricing and availability. The new funding will be used to develop the platform further and support Depotcharge's international expansion, with a focus on integrating charging into transport dispatch operations and connecting with existing transport management systems.
