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 various types of charging plugs that are used for charging electric vehicles. The most common types are:
Type 1 (SAE J1772): This plug is commonly used for AC charging in North America and Japan.
Type 2 (Mennekes): This plug is often used for AC charging in Europe and is compatible with most e-vehicles.
CCS (combined charging system): CCS plugs are primarily used for DC fast charging and are becoming increasingly popular all over the world.
CHAdeMO: This plug is also used for DC fast charging and is often found in older electric vehicle models, especially from Japanese manufacturers.
Choosing the right charging plug for your electric vehicle (EV) is essential for safe and efficient charging.
Here are a few steps to help you make the right choice:
- Check the compatibility of your vehicle: Different e-vehicle models may require different types of charging plugs. Check your vehicle's manual or contact the manufacturer to find out which type of plug is compatible with your electric vehicle.
- Find out about charging standards: There are various charging standards that are used worldwide, such as CHAdeMO, CCS (Combined Charging System) and Tesla's Supercharger. Find out which standard is common in your region and make sure that the charging plug you choose supports that standard.
- Take into account the charging speed: There are charging plugs in different power levels, which affect the charging speed. Determine your charging needs based on your daily driving habits. If you frequently take long trips, you might want to invest in a faster charging port.
- Evaluate plug types: There are various plug types, including Type 1 (J1772), Type 2 (Mennekes), and Type 3 (Same). When choosing the right type of plug for your vehicle, consider factors such as availability, compatibility with charging stations, and ease of use.
- Remember, it's always a good idea to consult an EV specialist or your vehicle manufacturer to make sure you're making the best choice for your particular EV model.
Fast charging, also known as DC fast charging, is a charging method in which the battery of an electric vehicle is quickly charged with powerful direct current (DC). It can charge an electric vehicle to a high level in a relatively short period of time, usually within 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the vehicle and charging station.
How long it takes to charge an electric vehicle depends on several factors, including the vehicle's battery capacity, charging speed, and current charge level. Charging times can vary between a few hours with a Level 2 charger and around 30 minutes with a fast charger. However, it's important to know that a full charge can take several hours, especially with larger battery packs.
To plan your electric car trip, you should consider factors such as the distance you need to travel, the availability of charging stations along your route, and the charging speed of each station. Use online tools or apps that offer e-trip planners to plan your route and find charging stations at appropriate intervals. Take into account the charging time and schedule any necessary stops to ensure a smooth journey.
To determine a fair price for charging your electric vehicle, you should consider a few factors. First, you should check the cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity in your area. You can usually find this information on your electricity provider's website or by contacting them directly. You should also factor in any additional fees or membership costs associated with using a specific charging network or charging station. Finally, you should also consider the convenience and accessibility of the charging station in relation to your charging needs. By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision about fair prices for charging your electric vehicle.
