Fleet Transition:
Optimized Charging for Guaranteed Uptime and Savings
Transitioning your commercial fleet (delivery vans, buses, service trucks) requires detailed planning to guarantee every vehicle is fully charged and ready for its route. Our focus is on minimizing infrastructure costs and maximizing vehicle uptime.
- Operational Guarantee: We analyze your fleet's duty cycles and required State of Charge (SOC) to design a charging schedule that ensures 100% operational readiness every morning.
- Infrastructure Design: We plan the full electrical and physical layout for your depot, minimizing cable runs and future-proofing the infrastructure for subsequent fleet expansion.
The Logistical Challenge of
Fleet Electrification
BC Hydro Rate Optimization for Predictable Costs
Fleet charging requires massive amounts of power. We structure your operations to utilize the lowest possible utility rates.
- Overnight Rate Strategy: For depots with sufficient load, we prioritize charging during the BC Hydro Overnight Rate period (11 p.m. to 7 a.m.), which minimizes or eliminates costly Demand Charges.
- Scalable Power: We design for a mix of Level 2 (for daily overnight charging) and strategic DC Fast Chargers (for route top-ups or emergency use) to balance speed and capital expenditure.
- Integration: Our systems integrate seamlessly with your existing Fleet Management Software (FMS), providing real-time data on charge status and energy consumption per vehicle.
