Togl has secured an £850,000 pre-seed investment round to accelerate the rollout of its depot flexibility software designed to cut EV fleet charging costs and optimise grid capacity.
The funding round was led by Haatch, with participation from Setanta Vehicle Importers, the authorised Renault Trucks importer in Ireland, and Lancashire-based angel investors Fhunded Angels.
Togl will use the funding to expand its team, develop its technology and accelerate its work with fleet operators, energy partners and other industry stakeholders.
The capital injection follows a recent £25,000 investment from the Baltic Ventures Accelerator 2026.
Alongside the funding news, Togl announced a live trial with transport and logistics provider Welch Group. Supported by the Department for Transport’s Freight Innovation Fund Accelerator, delivered by Connected Places Catapult, the trial will test Togl’s software against real-world haulage shift patterns to maximise charging efficiency without disrupting schedules.
As fleets transition to EVs, charging can place a substantial new load on a depot, particularly when vehicles return and plug in at similar times. This can increase charging costs, consume the site’s available capacity and bring forward the need for a costly grid connection upgrade.
Togl, through its depot flexibility software, schedules charging around departures rather than arrivals, aiming to move charging into lower-cost periods, reduce unnecessary peaks, fit more vehicles onto the existing connection and keep every vehicle ready for its shift.
Will Maden, CEO and co-founder of Togl, said: “Across the UK, depot electrification often stalls because the numbers simply do not add up, whether that is the total cost of ownership of the vehicles or the discovery that, after procuring vehicles and chargers, the depot does not have sufficient grid capacity to operate them.
“This investment gives us the resources to expand the Togl team, continue developing our technology and help fleets solve this exact problem.”
Charlie Weavers-Wright, principal, Haatch, said: “We are pleased to back Togl in its next, exciting stage of development. The proposition is directly addressing a clear barrier to fleet electrification, with a team that brings strong experience across EV charging, energy and fleet operations.”
