Upgrade your Kanban EV sessions with two integrated expansions that bring persistent abilities and new garage options to the table. This kit blends strategic tempo with flexible scoring opportunities, offering fresh ways to interact with your base game while preserving its core feel. Expect tactile hooks, thoughtful decision points, and new paths to explore with every setup.
The SpeedCharger expansion introduces tokens and a Charging board that unlocks lasting bonuses you activate by spending shifts. Setup is straightforward: allocate 4 SpeedCharger tokens per player and give each a Charging board. You may spend 1 Shift to claim a token and place it on your Charging board; once activated, the covered bonus stays with you for the remainder of the game. At game end, each Charger token contributes 1 PP for every Car in your garages, adding a meaningful endgame layer to your garage management. For example, with 3 cars and 4 active SpeedCharger tokens, you could see a notable points boost from tokens already in play.
A key pacing rule keeps the game dynamic: you can take only one SpeedCharger per turn. This encourages careful timing and deliberate planning, while maintaining a steady tempo as you weigh immediate needs against longer-term benefits.
SpeedCharger bonuses by department
- R&D — Once per turn, upgrade 1 Design with a Car Part from the supply.

The Special Garage Tile Expansion adds seven unique garage tiles that expand how you organize and leverage your car lineup. These tiles bring new placement options and potential synergies with your upgrade pathways, offering tactile variety and additional scoring angles during play.
In practice, this two-expansion pack is designed to slot into your Kanban EV sessions without overwhelming the base game. It invites experimentation and longer-term planning, presenting possibilities rather than guarantees. You can mix and match the SpeedCharger abilities with the Special Garage Tiles to suit your table and playgroup, making each session feel strategically fresh while staying faithful to the core Kanban EV experience.
