Bee-Charged

What Bee-Charged does

Bee-Charged is a privately held Belgian EV charging infrastructure installer founded in 2022 by Dries Vandenbruwaene, headquartered in Ingelmunster, West Flanders. The company distributes, supplies, and installs Smappee-branded smart charging stations (EV Wall Home, EV Wall Business, EV Base, EV One) and the Smappee Infinity energy management system for both residential customers and corporate clients across Belgium. Its core differentiator is a vertically integrated A-to-Z service model in which in-house electricians handle the full scope — from on-site consultation and custom quotation through groundworks, cabling, fuse box modifications, hardware installation, app commissioning, and independent inspection — rather than coordinating multiple subcontractors. The company has installed approximately 300 charging stations since founding.

The technology stack is built entirely on the Smappee ecosystem, which provides dynamic load balancing between solar production, household or building loads, and EV charging, plus Home Connect integration for appliance control and IoT interoperability. Bee-Charged layers a proprietary Charge Point Operator (CPO) platform on top of the hardware, enabling public accessibility of installed charge points, automated billing, split-billing for employee home charging reimbursement, and dynamic pricing tied to variable energy market rates. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales and installation services (quote-based, not publicly priced), supplemented by recurring CPO managed services, equipment rental of Smappee measurement systems, and energy management hardware. Go-to-market is consultative and field-based: on-site appointments drive custom quotes, with the primary target being businesses and fleets undertaking electrification (named customers include Van Mossel, Lamett, Deforche Construct, Forena, Decostere Accountancy, and Esperto Accountants), and a secondary residential segment served through direct-to-consumer quote requests.
