Managing a fleet of Electric Vehicles is a different ball game to managing petrol and diesel-powered vehicles.

Stationary fleet vehicles waiting to charge reduces time in operation. Our DC rapid chargers paired with our maintenance plans are designed to maximise charger availability/uptime. The goal is to maximise revenue making operations of the vehicles on the road.
DC rapid chargers are categorised as Level 3 EV charging. This is the most powerful type of EV charging available. Typical DC charging power is around 15kW-400kW depending on the type of EV you are charging.
Level 3 DC rapid chargers have various power outputs which can influence charging speed. However, here is an estimate for how many miles of range a DC charger can deliver within just a 60 minute charging period.
There are two types do EV charging stations, AC and DC. The core difference between AC and DC chargers is whether the power converter is onboard or offboard the Electric Vehicle. The DC charger has a larger converter as it is located offboard the vehicle, this means DC chargers can deliver more power quickly. This offers EV vehicles full charge as quickly as just 15 minutes (as long as the EV power acceptance allows it). This makes DC charging stations perfect for fleet vehicle charging in short-stop locations. DC chargers are also the perfect choice for EV buses and trucks.
