EV and energy
The EV module runs the electric and mixed-energy fleet: depot chargers and charging sessions, assessing which combustion vehicles are the best candidates for electrification, battery health over time, and the nightly charging schedule. Unified energy cost and a "living" TCO combine fuel and electricity into one comparable figure per kilometer.
Who it's for
The finance controller, fleet manager and organization administrator manage chargers and sessions and run EV-suitability assessments. The dispatcher, maintenance manager and executive have read access without edit rights.
Key concepts
- SoH (State of Health) — a battery's health as a percentage of its factory-fresh state; it declines with age and charge cycles.
- SoC (State of Charge) — a battery's current charge level, as a percentage.
- Charge-to-readiness — automatic charging planning so a vehicle reaches its target SoC by its next scheduled departure.
- Living TCO — a vehicle's actual per-kilometer cost of ownership, kept up to date and compared against the pre-electrification projection.
Chargers and charging sessions
You register a depot charger with its site, connector type, power rating and (optionally) an OCPP identity and vendor — the groundwork for a future hardware integration. A charging session is recorded manually or imported: the source can be a depot charger, a public network, or the driver's home (reimbursed). Energy, cost and start/end charge level feed both the unified energy cost and the battery-health history.
EV suitability assessment
You run a suitability assessment against the combustion fleet — the system analyzes each vehicle's duty cycle from a telematics window (90 days by default: daily distance, worst-day distance, dwell time) and rates it: ready to electrify day one, needing supporting charging infrastructure, or not suitable at this stage. Each result carries a projected annual TCO savings and CO₂ savings figure, so the ranking shows which vehicles to electrify first.
Battery health and the charging schedule
Battery health (SoH) for battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is recorded as a snapshot over time — from telematics, the manufacturer's own data, or entered manually after a workshop diagnostic. A health drop past a threshold can flag a warranty claim opportunity. The charge-to-readiness schedule plans each vehicle's overnight charging so it reaches its target charge level before its next departure, balancing the simultaneous draw of all chargers under the contracted power peak (to avoid demand-charge penalties). The unified energy cost combines fuel and electricity spend into one cost-per-kilometer figure, and the living TCO compares the actual cost against the projection, showing the variance for each vehicle.
In the background
Battery health is refreshed nightly for every battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle. The next day's charging schedule is generated after midnight. The living TCO is recomputed nightly from the actual energy spend over the latest window.
