Delivering Electric Fuel for Commercial and Government Fleets
As a Fleet Manager, you can benefit from adding electric vehicles (EVs) to your vehicle inventory. EVs help reduce costs because they have fewer moving parts and are less costly to operate and maintain. They can also help you meet government regulations for Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) acquisition, fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction.
However, strict requirements for vehicle range and readiness, charging station access, driver safety and cost control require a flexible, centrally managed infrastructure. Fleet drivers need convenient access to charging stations, and you must be able to track charging status and costs at all times.
You can use the ChargePoint Network to:
Extend vehicle range by providing convenient electric fuel beyond the depot
Allow your drivers to seamlessly roam from city to city to extend their vehicle range by charging their vehicles on any charging station within the ChargePoint Network.
Centrally control access and defray the cost of electric fuel
Decide if you want to restrict access to your fleet vehicles only, or if you want to open your charging stations to the public for days, times and for prices you control. Ensure that fees are automatically collected and transferred to your bank account.
Ensure high availability at low cost
Elect to receive a daily e-mail summary of charging status for the entire electric vehicle inventory to ensure that your fleet vehicles are always ready for the next business day.
Track greenhouse gas, fuel efficiency savings and manage costs
Track and report greenhouse gas reduction, fuel efficiency and other data needed to manage and to measure the effects of your clean fleet.
Protect driver safety and limit liability
ChargePoint Charging Stations will only energize a charging session if they are in good working order, the user is safely isolated from electricity, and access is authorized over the ChargePoint Network.
Save with utility programs and incentives
Utility-grade meters and the ability to communicate with other Smart Grid systems enable demand response, time-of-use pricing, and other Smart Grid programs provided by the Utility.
Start now, be prepared for the future
The ChargePoint Network can remotely upgrade charging stations to accommodate future advancement in electric vehicle charging needs and can scale to millions of charging stations allowing a fleet to provide electric vehicle charging services today and meet growing demands of the future.
Coulomb Technologies’ ChargePoint Network enables government and commercial fleets to take advantage of cost-effective electric vehicle charging stations in convenient locations.
