Your electric fleet is only as good as your charging strategy. Unmanaged charging can cost more than the vehicles themselves — demand charges alone account for 68-81% of DCFC operating costs. Smart EV fleet charging management cuts electricity costs by up to 40% while ensuring, every vehicle is charged and ready.
Stop Paying Peak Rates. Start Charging Smarter.
FleetRabbit optimizes depot charging schedules, balances load across chargers, tracks battery health, and cuts energy costs — all from one dashboard.

01Unmanaged Charging Is Killing Your ROI
When EVs plug in the moment they return, everyone charges at once. This creates massive demand spikes that trigger penalty charges — often exceeding the electricity cost itself.
Where Your Charging Dollars Go
For DC fast charging at 350kW, demand charges dominate costs
02How FleetRabbit Optimizes EV Charging
Smart Departure-Based Scheduling
Set departure times per vehicle. FleetRabbit calculates optimal charging windows — shifting to off-peak hours while ensuring vehicles are ready.
Dynamic Load Balancing
Distribute power across chargers in real-time to stay below contracted maximum demand. Prevent spikes that trigger penalties.
State of Health (SoH) Tracking
Monitor battery degradation per vehicle. Track charge cycles, thermal events, capacity trends. Get alerts when degradation accelerates.
Energy Cost Per Mile Tracking
Know exactly what each vehicle costs. Track cost per kWh, per mile, per route. Compare EV vs ICE economics with real data.
Multi-Depot Management
Manage charging across multiple locations from one dashboard. Compare depot performance and charger utilization.
Charging Exception Alerts
Get notified when vehicles aren't charging: failed sessions, unplugged vehicles, chargers offline.

03Battery Health: The Hidden Cost Driver
A battery at 92% State of Health vs 75% SoH means 30-40% less range and up to $6,000 swing in resale value. The 2026 Geotab study of 22,700 vehicles found average degradation of 2.3% per year but variance is enormous.

045 Most Common EV Fleet Charging Problems
Not Enough Charging Stations
Fleets add EVs faster than infrastructure. Vehicles queue for chargers.
Demand Charge Spikes
Everyone plugs in at 5 PM, demand spikes trigger charges exceeding electricity cost.
Vehicles Not Ready When Drivers Arrive
Charging sessions fail silently. Vehicles unplugged by mistake.
No Visibility Into Charging Costs
Can't separate fleet charging from facility usage. Can't track cost per vehicle.
Battery Degradation Surprises
Range drops faster than expected. Warranty expires before you notice.
05Works With Your Existing Infrastructure
Works with any OCPP-compliant charger. ChargePoint, Blink, Wallbox, ABB, Siemens, and 50+ brands.
No vendor lock-in. Switch hardware without changing software.
Manage EVs alongside ICE vehicles on one dashboard. EVs show battery health, ICE shows fuel consumption.
