Charging and billing solutions

E-fleet solutions

Converting your fleet to electric mobility and managing your existing e-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.

FAQs

What is regenerative braking and how does it affect my electric vehicle's battery life?

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.

How can I reduce energy consumption when charging my 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.

How do I keep my EV battery healthy during long-term storage?

There are a few things you can do to maintain the health of your EV battery during long-term storage. First, make sure the battery is charged to around 50-70% of its capacity. This helps to avoid over-discharge or overcharging during storage. Second, you should store your electric vehicle in a cool and dry environment, ideally at 20-25 degrees Celsius. Extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, can have a negative impact on battery performance and life. And finally, if possible, disconnect any additional devices or systems that could drain the battery over time. By following these guidelines, you can help maintain the health of your EV battery during periods of not use.

What is smart charging and how does it work?

To optimize your vehicle's charging speed and efficiency, there are a few strategies you can use. First, make sure you're using a compatible charging station that matches the charging capabilities of your electric vehicle. Opt for a heavy-duty charger when you need faster charging times. Second, keep your charging plugs clean and free from dirt to ensure a good connection. This helps to maximize charging efficiency. Also avoid charging your electric vehicle up to 100% unless necessary. A charge level of around 80-90% can shorten charging times and extend battery life. Finally, minimizing the use of auxiliary systems such as air conditioning or heating during charging can also improve overall charging speed and efficiency.

How can I ensure that my electric vehicle battery is charged safely and efficiently?

To ensure that your electric vehicle battery is charged safely and efficiently, there are a few important things to consider. First, you should always use a charger that is recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. This ensures compatibility and prevents potential damage to the battery. It is also important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging voltage and charging current.

When charging, make sure that the charging cable is in good condition and properly connected to the vehicle and charging station. Avoid using extension cords or adapters that are not specifically designed to charge electric vehicles. It is also advisable to charge the vehicle in a well-ventilated area away from flammable materials.

To optimize efficiency, try charging your electric vehicle when electricity rates are lower, such as during off-peak hours. This can help reduce your charging costs. And finally, you should avoid charging your battery to maximum capacity on a regular basis, as this can put unnecessary strain on the battery. It is generally recommended to charge the battery to around 80% for daily use and reserve a full charge for longer trips.

By following these guidelines, you can ensure that your electric vehicle battery is charged safely and efficiently, extending its life and maximizing its range.

What are the most common mistakes I should avoid when charging my electric vehicle?

When charging your electric vehicle, you should avoid a few common mistakes to ensure safe and efficient charging. First, don't use extension cables or adapters that aren't specifically designed to charge electric vehicles. This can result in overheating or electrical hazards. Second, you should avoid charging at extreme temperatures as this may affect the battery's performance. Don't charge your electric vehicle with a damaged or frayed charging cable as this could pose a safety risk. Finally, you should never attempt to modify or manipulate your EV's charging system, as this may void the warranty and impair safety. By avoiding these mistakes, you can ensure a smooth and trouble-free charging process.
