Webfleet has introduced its new EV Charger Monitoring solution, allowing fleet managers to monitor electric vehicles and private chargers on a single platform.
The solution integrates charger data directly into the Webfleet fleet management platform, ensuring operational reliability without the need for additional hardware.
It provides fleet managers with real-time updates on charger availability, occupancy, speed and vehicle-to-charger location, while supporting multi-site monitoring.
This way, fleet managers stay informed upon charging issues that can impact fleet operations.
Taco Olthoff, Director EV Programme at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, which developed Webfleet, said: “One of the most important things for managers operating EVs is to make sure they can keep running their business reliably.
“EV Charger Monitoring supports this. A fleet manager gets an overview, in Webfleet, of all charging stations at various locations, regardless of the supplier.
“We want to avoid the risk of starting the workday with an uncharged EV, which could lead to an unplanned stop at a fast charger, increasing both time and costs.
"Our solution allows for notifications, should something unexpectedly go wrong.”
Daniel Lopes, Deputy Area Manager at Protectas in Switzerland, has integrated the solution in their fleet of 16 electric vehicles.
He said “Webfleet EV Charger Monitoring has simplified our EV fleet management by streamlining the oversight of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, making sure our fleet is charged and ready to run.”
In addition to providing real-time status and notifications, the dashboard in Webfleet offers key insights into energy costs, consumption, usage trends and average charging time, allowing customers to track charging performance and improve their EV charging strategy.
The overview helps fleets manage expenses, occupancy and charging trends, providing opportunities for optimisation and fleet growth.
