Significant opportunities can operate smoothly when managed correctly. Planning is the primary determinant of whether things will go your way. Kindly think strategically about the charging point location and how to connect them with the grid. Failure to plan will lead to over 80% of grid investment costs and monthly energy bills. It will help to minimize or avoid these costs by using the provided simulations.
ODS, which manages a fleet of over 300 vehicles to maintain the council’s housing stock, parks, highways, streets and waste disposal, is leveraging Webcleet telematics data to pinpoint the most suitable vehicles to swap for electric models. The software is also helping to optimise EV charging efficiencies and cut fuel use by improving driver behaviour.
National vehicle movement and inspection firm, DMN Logistics said that trade plate logistics is a well-established sector within the automotive industry and has largely remained unchanged for decades. However, with shorter driving ranges on a charge than a traditional petrol or diesel car, longer ‘refuelling’ times, and heavier vehicles thanks to the battery weight, EVs pose many challenges.
What Car? found that car owners who regularly need to use public charging networks could save money by signing up for a scheme with a one-off or a monthly fee because these often have a lower energy usage rate.
Fleet managers and their drivers are exploring whether an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle could work for them.
