La bio de Thomas Vanquaethem
J’ai rejoint l’aventure Chargepoly début 2023 après avoir fait la rencontre d’Hadi un an auparavant. J’ai eu la conviction que cette entreprise pouvait contribuer avec des solutions concrètes à la décarbonation du secteur du transport. Ce secteur représente 15% des émissions de gaz à effet de serre au niveau mondial dont environ la moitié lié aux flottes de transports de marchandises et de passagers. C’est une source de motivation énorme au quotidien mais c’est aussi beaucoup l’aventure collective qui m’anime.
Chargepoly is the expert in EV charging solutions focused on electric heavy truck fleets. We deliver a proprietary, vertically‑integrated offering, both hardware and software designed in-house, tailored to the rigorous demands of truck charging and validated with manufacturers such as Volvo, Daimler, Peterbilt, Lion Electric and Rizon.
We provide a seamless, end‑to‑end charging solution. In a heavyweight industry such as electric trucking, piecing together third‑party components is inefficient. Our full control over hardware, software, and system integration ensures consistency, scalability, and long‑term reliability.
Our stations use a central power unit connected to distributed modular charge points. Each charge point delivers up to the vehicle’s maximum charging capacity (max 400 kW). Vehicles plug in at the depot in the evening and leave fully charged after an overnight managed charging session using smart scheduling logic that balances priority departures and energy cost efficiency.
Chargepoly’s patented distributed architecture uses load planning instead of load sharing. This increases load factor efficiency in depot environments. Vehicles can disconnect while in standby mode without committing circuit capacity, unlike other systems. Additionally, our daisy‑chain setup allows easy scalability as fleet size grows.
Chargepoly owns two internationally filed patent families, registered trademarks, and product design rights. We maintain rigorous IP monitoring and enforce confidentiality and licensing policies for partners. Our IP robustness was recognised when we reached the finals of the French INPI IP awards in 2023.
Our goal: deliver peak charging performance with the lowest possible total cost of ownership over the entire lifespan of our infrastructure.
Our vertically integrated model ensures maximum quality and performance. Core hardware specifications, circuit board design, and embedded software are all developed in-house by our specialized product engineering teams, including system control engineers and electronics designers. We ensure robust, local execution by partnering with assembly facilities in Canada (and in France). Furthermore, our dedicated field support engineers oversee both preventive and corrective maintenance through the intelligent Lucie monitoring platform.
Fleet managers value the intuitive Lucie dashboard for operations control. Facility teams appreciate our compact footprint and trench‑minimizing deployment. On top of that, our prospective partners in Canada value locally assembled equipment.
- Standard smart charging that adapts to network or site limitations.
- Priority sequence charging integrated with the operator’s scheduling software through API.
- Demand‑response capabilities: charging aligned with lower‑priced energy windows or solar production.
- Potential for vehicle‑to‑grid (V2G) deployment, supported by both our hardware and software, pending EV and regulatory support.
Yes, Chargepoly provides extensive digital services through our Lucie software, offering real-time fleet management, intelligent charging orchestration, and integration with third-party software platforms. These services include customizable packages like Fleet, Energy, and Public to meet specific operational and revenue goals.
Absolutely. Our hardware can interface with third‑party software and our Lucie platform can manage non‑Chargepoly stations. However, the full spectrum of features is unlocked when using both our hardware and software together for a seamless integration.
