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.
Where your needs and our product meet
With fleetCharge, we make your life as a fleet manager easier by offering tailored benefits that are tailored exactly to your needs, from efficient driver management to simplifying RFID card management, as well as comprehensive statistics and reporting functions to smoothly manage your fleet.
The solution for fleet managers to simplify charging management
Full cost transparency is essential to efficiently manage vehicle fleets. Simple authorization management in a web portal, transparent transactions (including charging costs, charging system details and energy consumption) and the use of telematics data through the autoSense adapter for fleet management are decisive aspects.
Central overview of all charging processes by charging type
User management including allocation of driver apps and optional RFID charging cards
Monitoring and management of charging transactions using clear statistics
The best solution for your drivers too
The proven app offers drivers complete transparency of all charging transactions, including tax-compliant receipts directly in the app. If necessary, the driver can individually expand the app with an RFID charging card, which is particularly practical in areas with poor network coverage, such as underground car parks.

FAQs

There are mainly two types of home charging stations for e-vehicles:
Level 1 charging stations: Level 1 charging stations use a standard 120 volt power outlet to charge your vehicle. They're the easiest and cheapest option, but they also offer the slowest charging speed. Level 1 charging stations typically offer an additional range of around 4-5 miles per charging hour.
Level 2 charging stations: Level 2 charging stations require a 240 volt outlet and offer higher charging speeds compared to level 1. They're the most common choice for home charging, offering a range of around 20-30 miles per hour of charging. Level 2 charging stations are more expensive than Level 1 charging stations, but are better suited for daily charging needs.
A portable charger, also known as a mobile charger or EVSE (Electric Vehicle Service Equipment), is a compact device that allows you to charge your electric vehicle from a normal power outlet. It offers convenience and flexibility for charging on the go.
Portable chargers offer multiple benefits for electric vehicle owners. First, they offer convenience and flexibility, as you can charge your vehicle anywhere, whether at home, at work, or on the go. This means that you are not exclusively dependent on public charging stations. Second, portable chargers are compact and lightweight, making them easy to take with you in the car or in your pocket. They are also easy to use and often have a plug and play feature. And finally, portable chargers can be a cost-effective option as they eliminate the need for expensive installations or changes to your electrical system.
Using a portable charger is relatively easy. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Select a suitable power outlet: Find a standard household power outlet near your vehicle. Make sure that it is in good condition and can meet the power requirements of the charger.
- Plug the charger into the power outlet: Plug the portable charger's power cord into the power outlet. Make sure it's plugged in securely.
- Connect the charger to your e-vehicle: Depending on the e-vehicle model, you may need an adapter or a special plug. Connect the charger cable to your vehicle's charging port.
- Start charging: As soon as the charger is plugged in, it should automatically start charging your vehicle. Some portable chargers may require you to press a button to start charging.
- Monitor charging: Watch the LED indicators or the charger display to track charging. They usually show the charging status and when charging is complete.
- Unplug the charger and store it: Once your electric vehicle is fully charged, safely unplug the charger from your vehicle and the power outlet. Store the charger in a safe and dry place for later use.
Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidelines
Regenerative braking is a function in electric vehicles that recovers energy when decelerating or braking. When you press the brakes, the electric motor reverses its function and acts as a generator that converts the kinetic energy of the moving vehicle into electrical energy. This energy is then stored in the battery for later use. Regenerative braking helps extend the life of your electric vehicle's battery by reducing reliance on traditional friction brakes, resulting in less wear on brake pads and rotors. By using regenerative braking effectively, you can increase the energy efficiency and overall range of your electric vehicle.
To reduce energy consumption when charging your electric vehicle, you can follow a few simple tips. First, try charging your vehicle during off-peak hours when electricity prices are generally lower. This allows you to save money and reduce demand in the power grid. Second, you should only use high-capacity charging stations when you need fast charging. Higher performance levels can result in higher energy consumption. Opt for power levels when you have enough time to charge. And finally, unplug the charger as soon as your electric car is fully charged to avoid unnecessary energy consumption.
