Registration as a BGL member for BGL Charge

As a member of the German road haulage, logistics and disposal association BGL (Bundesverband Güterkraftverkehr Logistik und Entsorgung), you register your company via a dedicated registration link for BGL Charge and verify it with your membership number. We guide you step by step through the registration, which takes just a few minutes.

1.Prerequisites

You are a BGL member and have your membership number to hand.

2.Step by step

1.
Open the registration for BGL Charge.
2.
Create your user account by filling in the fields, then click Next.
3.
Next, confirm your email address with the 6-digit verification code we send you by email.
To do this, enter the code in the six fields under Confirm email and click Confirm email.
If no code arrives, simply request a new one with Resend code.
If you still want to correct your details, Back to registration takes you back to the form.
4.
Under Your workspace, choose whether you want to Create a new organisation or Join an existing organisation, and click Next.
If you join an existing organisation, confirm this with the invitation code from your invitation email.
5.
Under Create company, enter the details of your organisation and your first company.
The organisation is your company's profile on the platform. An organisation can contain several companies, that is, legally independent firms (legal entities), each of which invoices and pays.
This helps, for example, businesses with subsidiaries or subcontractors to manage everything under one roof. The Create company step refers to the company that the platform creates automatically for you.
The following details are required: Organisation name, Legal company name, Street, House number, Postcode, City, Country, VAT ID number and Billing email. If another address is to receive invoices, add it with Add additional billing email.
6.
In the same form, enter your membership number in the BGL Charge membership number field.
This verifies your company as a BGL member.
If you are not a BGL member, use the regular Registration instead.
7.
Further down, tick both checkboxes to confirm that you are authorised to make legally binding declarations and that you accept the platform agreement and the schedule of prices and services.
Finally, click Complete.
8.
You can now start the setup.
Everything about creating your fleet is in Getting started for fleets, and as a depot operator, Getting started for depot operators helps you.

3.Result

Your company is registered as a BGL member for BGL Charge. You do not need any new hardware for this, because your existing RFID cards, charging stations and backend simply keep running.

4.Note

If you want to create a site in a country other than the one in which your company is registered, you need a separate company in that country. The VAT ID number entered is always that of the country in which the site or sites are located.

You create additional companies later in your organisation, as described in Adjust the organisation structure.

6.Membership number is not accepted

If your membership number is not accepted or registration with it does not work, please write to us at support@depotcharge.com. We will look into it for you and help you further.

This mainly happens with new BGL members whose membership number is not yet on our records.
