Webfleet has debuted a new EV Charger Monitoring solution that allows fleets to monitor electric vehicles and private chargers across a single platform.
The latest development from the recently introduced EV Services Platform, the solution integrates charger data across multiple sites directly into the Webfleet fleet management platform, regardless of charger brand or management system.
The information helps fleet managers ensure vehicles are charged for the next day, while also providing insights on energy costs, usage and charger utilisation to optimise charging strategies.
Taco Olthoff, director EV programme at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, explained: “One of the most important things for managers operating EVs is to make sure they can keep running their business reliably.
“EV Charger Monitoring supports this. A fleet manager gets an overview, in Webfleet, of all charging stations at various locations, regardless of the supplier.
“We want to avoid the risk of starting the workday with an uncharged EV, which could lead to an unplanned stop at a fast charger, increasing both time and costs. Our solution allows for notifications, should something unexpectedly go wrong.”
It’s already transformed fleet operations at Protectas in Switzerland, which has integrated the solution in its fleet of 16 electric vehicles.
Daniel Lopes, deputy area manager, explained: “Webfleet EV Charger Monitoring has simplified our EV fleet management by streamlining the oversight of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, making sure our fleet is charged and ready to run.”
The solution provides fleet managers with real-time updates on charger availability, occupancy, speed and vehicle-to-charger location, while supporting multi-site monitoring.
Alongside real-time status and notifications, the dedicated dashboard in Webfleet offers key insights into energy costs, consumption, usage trends and average charging time, allowing customers to track charging performance and improve their EV charging strategy.
Any charger brand following open charging protocols (OCPP and OCPI) can be integrated into the fleet management user experience without needing additional hardware, by leveraging the EV Services Platform ecosystem.
Webfleet is compatible with any charge point management system (CPMS) with the latest OCPI standards and is already integrating with EV Service Platform partners Bia, Evesto, Ampeco and Monta.
Available to European Webfleet customers, it’s the latest solution from the EV Services Platform; an evolving system integrating solutions from partners in mobility and energy to simplify fleets’ electrification journey.
