Want to maximise the return of your electric fleet ?
FLEETDRIVE charge necessary ?” – how much energy do your EVs really need for your drivers to complete their day ? A driver plugs in at the end of their shift at 3 PM , but the range forecast for tomorrow is only 150km – is a full charge necessary ?
Using Webfleet as an example , it can read and report the information from an EV ’ s interlinked systems , compile that information into the cloud , and deliver insights on range forecasts , historical vehicle energy consumption , route data , driver behaviours , and battery health .
From the data , Webfleet reports that a charge of 65 % is more than sufficient for over 200km , and automatically charges the EV as necessary , sending an alert to cycle the EVs on the charger once complete . Maybe the data shows this driver is particularly EV efficient , and only a 45 % charge is necessary ; an advanced FMS like Webfleet can interface with a charger to ensure an EV is optimally and effectively charged to the appropriate level .
This insight into how your EVs are driven or charged by drivers can uncover substantive flowon effects on your ROI – and more than just the fiscal cost . Are EVs a core part of your carbon reduction strategy ? What ’ s their true carbon cost ? Are they being charged during peak times ?
With increasing pressure on businesses to capture , report , and minimise their environmental impact , the ability to capture and report on data such as total carbon cost , gross fleet CO2 emissions , and total cost of ownership is becoming increasingly important . Australia ’ s energy isn ’ t always 100 % green , what ’ s the impact of suboptimal charging behaviour ( such as charging during peak times when the grid is substantially browner ) increasing the carbon cost of your EVs and further reducing their ROI ?
Clear , insightful , and actionable data from your vehicles , both ICE and electric , is EVerything when ensuring your vehicles maximise their return – in more than just cost and carbon efficiency .
Advanced telematics like Webfleet do more than collect data , they become a single source of truth for your operations – combining accurate data with world-class analytics to provide insightful reporting .
Webfleet offers robust vehicle data capture and analysis , aiding you to make smarter decisions on which vehicles will provide a net-positive return if electrified , charging metrics for on-peak times or grid-green status so you can manage costs , driver energy consumption , and much more . Webfleet can even communicate to chargers to maximise when vehicles can actively draw down from the grid , ensuring all cost targets and parameters are met .
