Manage your electric fleet efficiently
Fleet electrification is one of the most important measures to achieve the ambitious net zero targets. Converting your fleet to electromobility and managing your existing electric fleet is easy and simple with autoSense.
Challenges for fleet managers
Converting and managing an electric fleet is not always easy. Fleet managers are responsible for ensuring that the charging needs of their electric vehicle fleet are covered and that billing is accurate and tax-compliant.
This creates the following challenges for companies:
Insight into all transactions
The majority of charging processes are carried out at home, which means that the company is not aware of all transactions.
Reimbursement of private electricity purchases
The companies are unable to calculate exactly how many kWh were charged and at what price they were purchased at home.
Optimize the efficiency of charging processes
Monitoring the duration, location and costs of charging processes is difficult for fleet managers, which means that no optimizations can be made.
For effective management of fleets through user allocation, charging activity overview and RFID card management.
For easy public charging by your employees. With information about charging stations, prices, availability and charging with or without a card.
All transactions are visible on a monthly statement and can be assigned to cost centers or projects.
Through us, you have access to the largest network of public charging stations in Europe.
Integration of telematics data into B2B charging solutions to optimize control.

A charging station network is a collection of charging stations that are connected to a central management system. These networks provide owners of electric vehicles with convenient access to the charging infrastructure. They enable e-drivers to find, monitor and pay for charging stations via a single platform.
Using a charging station network offers owners of electric vehicles several benefits:
- Convenient access: Charging station networks offer a wide coverage of charging stations, making it easier to find a charging point when needed.
- Centralized management: The networks enable electric vehicle owners to manage their charging processes, monitor charging, and receive notifications via a single platform or app.
- Integration of payments: Charging station networks often offer seamless payment options, eliminating the need for multiple payment methods or physical cards.
- Increased reliability: Networks generally monitor and maintain their charging stations, ensuring higher reliability and uptime.
- Additional services: Some charging station networks offer additional services, such as reservation systems, loyalty programs, or integration of navigation apps.
Using a public charging station for your electric vehicle is relatively easy. Follow these steps:
- Find a charging station: Use a charging station network app, a third-party app, or online maps to find public charging stations nearby. Pay attention to the station's availability, plug type, and charging speed.
- Park correctly: Park your electric car at a designated charging location and make sure that it is correctly oriented towards the charging station.
- Connect the cable: Remove the charging cable from the station and connect it to your vehicle's charging port. Make sure your connection is secure.
- Start the session: If necessary, activate the charging session via the charging station app, an RFID card or another method specified by the network.
- Monitor the session: Keep an eye on the progress of charging your e-vehicle via the station display or the network app. Make sure the charging process is as expected.
- End the session: Stop charging as soon as your electric vehicle is sufficiently charged or when you are ready to leave the station. Unplug the cable from your vehicle and return it to the station properly stowed away.
Installing a home charging station for your electric vehicle (EV) is a straightforward process that can be done by a professional electrician. The general steps are described below:
Check your electrical capacity: Before you install a charging station at home, make sure that your electrical system can handle the additional load. Consult an electrician to determine if an upgrade is necessary.
Select a location: Choose a convenient location for your charging station, preferably near your parking lot. Consider factors such as accessibility, proximity to your electrical box, and protection from the elements.
Buy the charging station: Find and buy a charging station that is compatible with your electric vehicle and meets your requirements. There are several options available, including level 1 and level 2 chargers.
Prepare the electrical wiring: The electrician will route the required cables from your electrical panel to the charging station. This may require pipes to be laid through walls or underground.
Installing and connecting the charging station: As soon as the cabling is in place, the electrician mounts the charging station on a wall or a base and connects it to the power supply. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper installation.
Test and activate: After the installation is complete, the electrician performs tests to ensure that the charging station is working properly. He will also guide you on how to activate and use the charging station.
Remember that it is essential that you hire a licensed electrician to install it to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
A home charging station, also known as a home EV charger or wallbox, is a device that allows you to conveniently charge your electric vehicle at home. It is usually installed in your garage or at an outdoor location near your home.
Choosing the right charging station for your electric vehicle depends on several factors, including:
Charging speed: Take into account the charging speed you need, depending on your driving habits and daily mileage. If you have a long daily commute or travel long distances frequently, a level 2 charging station would be more suitable.
compatibility: Make sure that the charging station you choose is compatible with your vehicle's charging port. Different e-vehicle models have different plug types, such as J1772 or Tesla's own plug.
Power capacity: Check your home's power capacity to see if it can support a level 2 charging station. If your power panel has limited capacity, consider upgrading or choosing a level 1 charger.
Features and connectivity: Some charging stations offer additional features such as Wi-Fi connectivity, smartphone apps for remote monitoring, and charging planning. Consider these features based on your preferences and comfort level.
costs: Consider charging station costs, installation costs, and any additional electrical upgrades required.
It is advisable to consult an electrician or do thorough research to choose the most suitable charging station for your needs.
