The platform is built on a simple "sharing economy" principle: transport companies can open up their private charging infrastructure to other firms and, in return, access additional charging options themselves. Currently, many fleet operators work in isolation, maintaining private charging points that often sit idle. At the same time, relying on public high-speed charging while on the road remains expensive. "Charge with Friends" aims to bridge this gap by enabling the networked use of existing resources. 

A major benefit of the platform is the increase in operational efficiency. Companies with their own infrastructure can offer unused capacity—during the day, for example—to third parties, thereby generating additional revenue. Meanwhile, users benefit from significantly lower charging rates compared to public fast-chargers. kW-Solutions cites typical costs of approximately 30 to 40 cents per kilowatt-hour. 

The platform handles the entire organizational process. Users can locate available sites, view prices and terms in advance, and book charging sessions directly. The system also automates billing, while providers retain full control over their own tariffs and access conditions. This creates a transparent and flexible network tailored to the real-world demands of logistics companies. 

At launch, kW-Solutions has already secured several industry partners, including Schachinger Logistik, Reder Transporte, and Schlager Transport Logistik. These partners are integrating their existing infrastructure into the network, supporting the establishment of an initial ecosystem for shared heavy-duty vehicle charging.
