Clean Tech News & Views: EVs, Solar Energy, Batteries
When it comes to charging, most people probably put it all in two buckets: overnight charging and charging on longer trips. For people who don’t drive too much, a simple Level 1 trickle charging arrangement using a normal wall plug is usually enough. For people who want more flexibility or who drive more, it makes sense to get a faster Level 2 charger that pulls power from a 240V circuit, like a dryer or water heater.
But that’s just for our personally owned vehicles. When defining a vehicle’s “home” becomes a more complicated question, some of those same complexities of shared public chargers comes along for the ride. In some cases, a company’s vehicles live on the company’s property at night. In other cases, the vehicles go home with people who work for the company. In other cases, a vehicle could be used on multiple shifts, getting a chance to charge only when nobody needs it.
So, charging these vehicles requires a solution that’s more thought out than just a plug hanging up that you can pop into a vehicle at the end of the day. ChargePoint has worked with a good number of fleets, and the company has figured out how to turn both corporate experiences and client experiences into better software.
“We understand the concern fleet operators have over the investment needed to transition fleets from liquid fuel to electric, including the cost of the infrastructure needed to charge EVs,” said Michael Hughes, Chief Revenue Officer at ChargePoint. “By bringing a wide scope of fleet management applications under one platform, we are helping fleet operators identify and realize significant savings to their total cost of ownership.
