RightCharge Simplifies UK Fleet Charging with Smart RFID Cards

Managing a corporate fleet is complex; transitioning that fleet to electric vehicles adds entirely new layers of administrative burden. Range anxiety, scattered billing, and fragmented public charging networks can paralyze a company's EV adoption. RightCharge, a premier UK smart charging platform, set out to eliminate these hurdles for B2B fleet managers. To bridge their powerful software with the physical act of charging across the UK, RightCharge partnered with ChargeRFID.

The Partnership Context

RightCharge offers a comprehensive solution for fleet operators, combining home, workplace, and public charging into a single, unified platform. Their public charging integration is massive, granting drivers access to over 76,000 charge points across 39 different networks in the UK.

For fleet drivers, navigating 39 different apps is not an option. RightCharge needed a single, universal physical credential that drivers could use anywhere. Crucially, this card needed to tie directly into RightCharge's backend to facilitate automated, HMRC-compliant reporting for company car tax and expense reimbursement. RightCharge selected ChargeRFID for our ability to deliver highly secure, universally compatible fleet cards at scale.

The Challenge

The primary challenge was data integrity and cross-network interoperability. Because the RightCharge platform automatically calculates home charging reimbursements and consolidates public charging invoices for HMRC compliance, the physical RFID card must trigger accurate, real-time data transfers every single time it is used.

If a card fails to authenticate properly or if the data is compromised, the entire automated billing system breaks down, resulting in administrative headaches for the fleet manager. RightCharge needed an RFID card that was incredibly secure, highly durable for daily fleet use, and universally readable across 39 distinct charging networks.

The Solution

ChargeRFID provided robust fleet PVC RFID cards EV charging platforms rely on for B2B operations. To ensure the highest level of data security and accurate session tracking, we embedded MIFARE DESFire EV2 and EV3 chips into the RightCharge credentials.

These chips utilize advanced encryption, preventing card cloning and ensuring that the driver's identity is securely transmitted to the Charge Point Operator (CPO). Because the MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 chips are programmed for strict OCPP compatibility, the RightCharge charging card acts as a universal key. Whether a fleet driver is tapping at an ultra-rapid highway hub or a fast charger in a city center, the card communicates flawlessly via OCPP to authorize the session and instantly route the billing data back to the RightCharge platform.

The Sustainability Angle

The core mission of RightCharge is to accelerate the electrification of corporate fleets, which represents a massive reduction in national carbon emissions. By providing a reliable, frictionless charging experience, ChargeRFID's technology directly supports this mission, removing the barriers that often make fleet managers hesitant to switch to EVs.

Furthermore, by consolidating access to 39 networks into a single card, we drastically reduce the amount of plastic produced per driver. ChargeRFID is also collaborating with RightCharge to transition future card batches to sustainable charging cards made from 100% recycled PVC (rPVC), further aligning their physical products with their environmental mission.

Results and Impact

The RightCharge fleet card has revolutionized how UK companies manage their EV transitions. Fleet managers now receive a single, consolidated, HMRC-compliant invoice each month, entirely eliminating driver expense claims for public charging.

Drivers enjoy the simplicity of a single card that works at 76,000+ charge points. The reliability of the MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 technology provided by ChargeRFID has ensured that session data is captured accurately 100% of the time, solidifying RightCharge's reputation as the most dependable fleet charging platform in the UK.
