Electrification is messy. It's not just about buying new trucks; it's about the grid, the chargers, and the schedule. As fleets adopt EVs, they face three new problems: Range anxiety, charging logistics, and efficiency variance.

The SOC Challenge

State of Charge (SOC) is the new fuel gauge, but it's harder to predict. Unlike filling a gas tank in five minutes, charging takes hours. Our new dashboard doesn't just show the current battery level—it predicts the end-of-shift charge based on current route topology and traffic.

Winning the Grid

Energy prices fluctuate. Charging your entire fleet at 6:00 PM when rates are high is a financial mistake. Our algorithms throttle charging speeds to ensure vehicles are ready AM-shift, but prioritize cheap, off-peak electricity.

"We saw a 14% drop in energy costs just by letting the software manage the plug-in time."
