At Geotab , we understand that fleet electrification is the future and that is why Geotab ’ s fleet management system supports the largest set of EV makes and models available , including medium and heavy-duty EVs and buses . Since EVs do not follow mandatory telematics data standards , gaining access to EV data can be more difficult than from conventional vehicles . Geotab has worked directly with manufacturers to overcome these difficulties and to develop an ELD with unique capabilities that enables it to process EV data . With Geotab ’ s fleet
management system , MyGeotab , electric fleets can feel confident that they have full access to their EV data . MyGeotab provides reports that enable electric fleets to easily monitor the performance of their EV and / or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles ( PHEVs ). Reports like the Fuel and EV energy usage report and the EV charging report , provide insights into the range and battery performance of their EVs and PHEVs along with information about when and where vehicles are charging , to provide deeper insights into why EVs are at their current charge percentage . In addition , MyGeotab enables map functionality to provide fleets with real-time data on battery charge percentage and charging status so fleets can help identify which EV in the fleet has the most ( or least ) battery charge , so fleet managers can dispatch the correct vehicle to perform fleet tasks .
Geotab delivers its technology through its unique Reseller model underscoring the focus that customer experience matters . To briefly explain , Resellers purchase the GO device from Geotab and then it becomes the responsibility
