The Challenge
WattEV has a high peak power demand and must ensure the on-time departure for trucks
WattEV, one of the largest electric truck operators in the U.S., is establishing truck charging infrastructure across different locations. Electric trucks have a high power demand, and WattEV operates large EV charging hubs. The operation needs to maintain a high uptime of their charging stations and manage the charging schedules of a large fleet of trucks efficiently to avoid peak hours. Moreover, the operations team coordinates with dispatch and operations teams to optimize truck routes and charging cycles, which is vital. Therefore, access to all charging data is essential.
"Ampcontrol's innovative AI-driven platform offers the tools we need to optimize and monitor our EV charge points. The company's vision aligns closely with our goals, and we are thrilled to be working with them."
Energy Management
Ampcontrol’s load management is key to minimize costs
WattEV uses Ampcontrol’s load management and energy management for all of its hubs. It helps their team to accelerate the site development and reduce the monthly utility costs significantly. Moreover, Ampcontrol helps to handle islanded operations and accept power from different sources such as solar and battery storage. This versatility allows WattEV to make use of renewable energy and choose the most suitable source for charging based on the availability and efficiency of various energy sources. This is crucial for a company focused on electrifying transportation, as it supports sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
Data Access and OCPP
WattEV performs operation by connecting Ampcontrol to internal processes
WattEV achieves operational excellence by using essential metrics for calculating vehicle performance, charge time, charge management, and site operations provided through the Ampcontrol dashboard. Additionally, many WattEV internal software systems connect to Ampcontrol’s API. WattEV’s team highlights that Ampcontrol’s market-leading uptime has been important to operate the fleet charging sites 24/7.
