THE CHALLENGEDepot Charging at Scale Requires Intelligent Coordination
Plugging in 50 vehicles at once without load management will blow your grid connection or trigger massive demand charges. Simple timer-based scheduling leaves vehicles undercharged when routes change. Fleet depot charging needs a system that balances grid constraints, energy costs, vehicle schedules, and battery health in real time. We build that system.
SMART CHARGING CAPABILITIES
Intelligent Depot Charging, Every Night
Dynamic Load Management
We distribute available power across all connected vehicles in real time. As vehicles plug in and unplug throughout the evening, the system rebalances automatically to stay within your site power limit. No manual intervention, no demand charge surprises.
Departure-Time Optimization
Each vehicle gets charged to its required level by its scheduled departure time. Early morning routes get priority. Vehicles with later departures charge at lower rates during off-peak hours. The system adapts when schedules change mid-shift.
Energy Cost Optimization
We shift charging load to the cheapest electricity periods based on your tariff structure. Time-of-use rates, demand charges, and real-time pricing signals all feed into the optimization engine. Fleet operators typically see 20-40% savings on charging costs.
Solar and Battery Integration
For depots with on-site solar or battery storage, we coordinate charging with local generation. Excess solar feeds directly into vehicle batteries during the day, and stored energy supplements grid power overnight.
HOW WE BUILD IT
From Site Assessment to Live Operations
Site and Grid Assessment
We analyze your depot layout, grid connection capacity, transformer limits, and existing electrical infrastructure. This determines charger placement, cable routing, and the maximum simultaneous charging capacity for your site.
Charging Strategy Design
We model your fleet schedules, route energy requirements, and electricity tariffs to design the optimal charging strategy. The result is a configuration that meets every vehicle deadline while minimizing energy costs.
OCPP Integration
We connect your chargers via OCPP to our management platform. Smart charging profiles are pushed to each charger in real time, and session data flows back for monitoring, billing, and analytics.
Fleet System Integration
We integrate with your fleet management system, telematics, and route planning tools. Vehicle battery state, daily mileage, and departure schedules feed directly into the charging optimization engine.
Monitoring Dashboard
A depot operations dashboard shows real-time charger status, vehicle charge levels, energy consumption, and cost tracking. Alerts notify your team when a vehicle is at risk of missing its departure target.
Scaling to Multi-Depot
As you electrify additional depots, we replicate and customize the system for each site. Central management gives your operations team visibility across all locations from a single interface.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for Fleets That Charge Overnight
Bus Fleets
Transit agencies electrifying their bus fleet need depot charging that guarantees every bus is ready for its morning route. We handle the complexity of mixed vehicle types, varying battery sizes, and tight departure windows.
Delivery and Logistics Fleets
Last-mile delivery companies with dozens of vans returning to the depot each evening. We optimize charging schedules around your delivery windows and route planning, so vehicles are always ready for the next day.
Corporate and Municipal Fleets
Organizations managing a mix of sedans, SUVs, and utility vehicles. We provide charger management, cost allocation by department or vehicle, and reporting for sustainability compliance.
