87% of fleet professionals plan to electrify within five years. But the software most of them use today was built for diesel trucks. It has no concept of battery state of charge, no charging schedule, no range anxiety prevention, and no way to compare energy cost per mile against fuel cost per mile. The transition to electric is not just a vehicle change. It is a complete operational change — and it requires a platform built for it.

4 Things Diesel Fleet Software Can't Do for Your EV Fleet
You cannot manage what diesel software was never designed to track. These four gaps cost EV fleets money, time, and range anxiety every single day.
Dispatchers assigning routes without knowing each vehicle's current charge level is how stranded vehicles happen. Diesel software tracks fuel tank level. That sensor doesn't exist on an EV — and the data that does exist (SoC, SoH, range estimate) is simply ignored.
Without smart scheduling, all vehicles plug in simultaneously when they return from shift — triggering peak demand charges that can exceed the electricity cost itself. One study found that unmanaged charging costs 62% more than time-of-use optimised charging over a year.
Manufacturer range estimates assume ideal conditions: 70°F, empty vehicle, highway speed. Your routes involve winter temperatures, full cargo loads, urban stop-and-go, and ageing batteries. Actual range can be 30–40% below the spec sheet. Routing to the spec figure causes stranded vehicles.
An EV battery at 80% state of health has 20% less usable range than it did new — but most fleet systems have no way to detect, track, or alert on this. By the time a dispatcher notices a vehicle isn't completing its routes, the battery may already need a $150,000+ pack replacement.
What Smart Charging Optimisation Actually Saves
The difference between managed and unmanaged EV charging is not marginal. For a 20-vehicle EV fleet, it is the difference between charging being your lowest operating cost — or your highest. Sign up free to configure smart charging today.
Battery Health Tracking — From New to End-of-Life
A commercial EV battery degrades gradually over years of use. FleetRabbit tracks that curve per vehicle — so you see what is happening before it becomes an operational problem.
Every EV Management Capability — In One Platform
State of charge (SoC) updated every 60 seconds per vehicle. State of health (SoH) trended over the battery's full operational life. Charging event logs showing kWh consumed, charge duration, and charger used per session. Low SoC alerts sent to dispatcher and driver. SoH degradation alerts fire when a vehicle approaches the monitoring threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — FleetRabbit is purpose-built for mixed EV + ICE operations. Both powertrain types are managed from one dashboard with the correct metrics for each. Diesel vehicles get fuel cost per mile and engine-hour PM schedules. EVs get energy cost per mile, SoC monitoring, charging optimisation, and battery-specific PM intervals. Side-by-side TCO comparison helps you identify which routes and vehicle types benefit most from electrification. No fleet goes 100% electric overnight — FleetRabbit supports every stage of your transition. Book a demo to see your mixed fleet configured live.
FleetRabbit shifts charging to off-peak electricity windows based on your utility's time-of-use rate schedule — typically midnight to 6 AM when rates are 40–62% lower than peak. It also balances load across multiple chargers to eliminate demand charge spikes, which can exceed the electricity cost itself if unmanaged. One study found that optimised TOU charging reduces annual charging costs by up to 62% vs unmanaged charging. Every vehicle is guaranteed to reach its target charge before its first route assignment of the day. Sign up free to configure your charging schedule today.
FleetRabbit supports 200+ EV models and integrates with OCPP 2.0.1 compliant charging hardware — including ChargePoint, Blink, Wallbox, and most major charger manufacturers. The open standard means you are not locked into proprietary hardware. If your chargers support OCPP, FleetRabbit can manage them. For telematics, FleetRabbit connects to 200+ ELD and telematics providers. Book a demo to confirm your EV models and chargers are supported.
FleetRabbit tracks state of health (SoH) continuously — monitoring capacity degradation from 100% on delivery toward end-of-life. As SoH declines, real-world range predictions are adjusted automatically so dispatchers never assign routes that exceed actual range. When SoH drops to a configured threshold (typically 80%), a diagnostic alert fires and the vehicle is flagged for battery inspection and route reassignment. The SoH trend graph shows the full degradation curve so you can predict replacement timing months in advance.
Yes — FleetRabbit tracks CO₂ emissions per vehicle per route automatically using actual energy consumption data. For US fleets, automated record-keeping supports Inflation Reduction Act documentation requirements — required for federal EV incentives. Monthly and annual carbon reports are generated automatically for ESG reporting and Scope 1 emissions disclosure. The electrification ROI calculator shows side-by-side TCO for diesel vs electric across your specific routes and operating conditions. Sign up free to activate carbon tracking today.
