Depot charging that fits the duty cycle and the sanctioned load

A fleet depot is not a charging business — it is a constraint problem. Thirty vehicles, one connection, and a departure schedule that does not move. The platform’s job is to get every vehicle to its state of charge before its shift without tripping the sanctioned load, and then tell you what it cost per kilometre.

Fleets & logistics

Does this sound familiar

Where you probably are right now

  • 01You operate electric buses, trucks, LCVs, cabs or last-mile two- and three-wheelers.
  • 02Vehicles return to one or more depots overnight or between shifts.
  • 03Your sanctioned load is smaller than the sum of your chargers.
  • 04Energy is now a material line in your cost per kilometre.

What gets in the way

The problems, and what answers each one

Every answer links to the feature that does the work, so you can check the claim rather than take it.

01

Not enough power to charge everything at once

Site-level load sharing distributes available capacity across active sessions and returns it to the pool as vehicles finish, with per-EVSE ceilings enforced on the charger itself.

02

Drivers should not be paying at a depot

RFID authorisation with driver and vehicle groups — tap and charge, no payment flow, with per-driver and per-vehicle limits and a full authorisation log.

03

You cannot attribute energy cost to a vehicle

Every session carries its tag, driver, vehicle and energy, so consumption rolls up per vehicle, per route or per department, and out to your ERP.

04

Off-peak power is cheaper and nobody exploits it

Time-of-day tariffs and charging windows shift the load into the cheap hours automatically, within the constraint that every vehicle is ready for its shift.

What changes

What you can do that you could not before

  • Every vehicle charged before departure, inside the sanctioned limit
  • Energy cost attributable per vehicle and per route
  • Opportunity charging on public networks under one fleet account
  • Off-peak energy captured without missing a departure

Commercial shape

Private-network pricing

Depot charging has no retail payment leg, so pricing follows connectors and energy managed rather than a share of driver payments.

How pricing works

Questions

What people in your position ask

Can drivers also charge on public networks?

Yes — the same fleet account can cover public sessions through roaming, so opportunity charging appears on the same monthly invoice.

Do you integrate with our telematics?

Session and energy data is available through the API and webhooks, which is how most fleets join charging data to their telematics or TMS.

What happens if a charger fails overnight?

The load allocation redistributes to the remaining units automatically, and the depot sees which vehicles are now at risk of missing their departure — which is the alert that matters, rather than the fault itself.

Bring the specifics — the sites, the hardware, the constraints. That conversation is more useful than a demo.
