With the goal to balance operations, insights, and user control, EV Connect says the EV Connect Fleet Management Platform presents an intuitive dashboard that can track a vehicle’s state-of-charge, ready time and overall status, with complete visibility into depot specifics. Automatic and manual charging sequencing and prioritization provides adaptive fleet scheduling and gives owners and operators the ability to leverage in-depth analytics to improve fleet scheduling, including state-of-charge, energy power levels and station availability, the company says. The charging management software supports all use cases, including parking lots, distribution centers, transit hubs and other public-accessible locations.
