Not all EV fleets are created equal
NovaCHARGE Fleet Director makes the quick-turn EV fleet live up to its name!
More and more, the news includes stories about everyone from corporations (like Frito Lay) to municipalities (like NYC) making or accelerating the shift to EV fleets. In fact, many major corporations that provide goods and services and rely on their own fleets are making the transition.
From companies like Amazon, Best Buy, Avis Budget Group, and Verizon, to delivery organizations like FedEx and the USPS, the switch makes good business sense. It’s not just big business though. Everyone seems to be getting in on the battery-powered action. Big cities, like Los Angeles, New York, and Detroit, have large fleets (NYC’s municipal fleet boasts approximately 30,000 vehicles), but it’s also smaller cities like Columbus, OH that are making the move and taking the future into their own hands.
As fleet electrification advances, however, the challenges of fueling the EV fleet are more than just having the right charging infrastructure being in place. The #1 challenge is delivering on the quick-turn metric.
To do that effectively requires shifting control from humans to NovaCHARGE's Fleet Director.
Fleet Director is software that enables profitable quick-turn fleet electrification by increasing overall fleet readiness through:
- Optimal vehicle and EV charger utilization
- Improved labor efficiencies, with staff tracking and reporting
- Lower total cost of charging
