Top Challenges for EV Fleets
‍

‍The challenges faced by EV fleets include high power demand due to the large number of vehicles per site, ranging from trucks to buses, leading to a lack of power availability at many depots. Charging stations require varying levels of power, with some needing upgrades that can be time-consuming and expensive. Even with sufficient capacity, fleets encounter high peak power demand charges and utility fees, impacting operational costs significantly. Additionally, charger downtime and delays pose operational challenges, requiring specialized skills for maintenance and repair, 24/7 monitoring, and effective support systems. Furthermore, enterprise-grade integration and data access are critical for managing large-scale EV fleets efficiently, necessitating scalable APIs, high-security standards, and dedicated engineering support.
