Powering your fleet the smart way

Sultana Rahman of Sevadis discusses a new partnership between Sevadis and Monta that will provide fleets with a seamless EV charging experience

While the implementation of electric vehicle charging point hardware is a significant priority for electrified fleets, how a fleet manager oversees the activity of their network of chargers is also important.

Recently, Sevadis announced its strategic partnership with EV charging point software provider, Monta – a common platform in the fleet sector for operating and managing EV charging points.

The partnership, named Sevadis Cloud Powered by Monta, brings together both hardware and software excellence, combining two award-winning electric vehicle charging solutions providers to offer an all-encompassing solution for the future of electrified transport.

Understanding that control over chargepoint consumption and general behaviour of users is vital, Sevadis Cloud Powered by Monta ensures that the power is in the hands of the fleet manager/CPO (chargepoint operator). Allowing CPOs to monitor, track and evaluate their charging points’ usage and behaviour through an easy-to-use interface ensures that CPOs are always provided with transparency over their chargepoint network.

With Monta’s platform, CPOs are also able to integrate their fleet’s battery status and vehicle location, enabling complete transparency and attention to detail. With all of

this information in one portal, fleet managers are provided with a straightforward method of monitoring chargepoint activity, eliminating the requirement for time-consuming administrative tasks.

User accessibility is also a key consideration when deploying EV charging infrastructures for fleet-use; with this in mind, Sevadis Cloud Powered in Monta allows CPOs to define who can use the site’s EV charging points, as well as the costs associated with usage.

For example, an operational fleet driver may charge their vehicle for free, while an employee who drives an EV as a personal choice, may charge their vehicle at a discounted fee, and on the other hand, any external users may charge their vehicle at a price that covers the business’ electricity costs.

Extensions of this include the ability to add users to the ‘smart queuing’ system, allowing drivers to be notified for when a chargepoint is available for their turn to recharge; reservation of chargepoints, meaning that only those who have reserved the EV charging point, can recharge; scheduled accessing, only allowing allocated drivers to use the charging points, ensuring that priority fleet charging requirements are fulfilled.

Reimbursing and billing of EV chargepoint usage is made easy with Sevadis Cloud Powered by Monta, allowing CPOs to issue payments and invoices to EV drivers using their site’s EV charging points.

The most notable feature here is the automated reimbursement of charging costs to fleet EV drivers who recharge their vehicles at home; a feature that is favoured by businesses that allow for key operational fleet drivers, senior leadership teams etc to charge their company EVs at no cost.

There are ample opportunities with the collaboration between Sevadis and Monta, in turn providing the small-medium sized fleets with a comprehensive EV charging solution that is fit for purpose and fit for the future.

Electrifying the future with SEGRO

Sevadis collaborates with sustainable property developers to deliver future-proofed EV charging infrastructure

Electrification is on the rise and the requirement for accessible, future-proofed and scalable electric vehicle charging facilities is now more important than ever, especially with fleet and company car drivers making the transition to EVs.

In order to facilitate the demand for EV charging points, SEGRO, leaders in sustainable commercial developments, appointed Sevadis to support the roll-out of electric vehicle charging infrastructures across its latest developments in Tottenham and Hayes.

SEGRO opted for the award-winning (Red Dot Design 2022) MaxiCharger in its pillar variation for its optimal functionalities, such as the ability to dynamically load balance electricity supply without the requirement for expensive power, allowing for efficient charging without disrupting overall supply.

While the running of the EV charging points holds great importance for SEGRO, the ease of use for the electric vehicle driver is also paramount. Opting for the MaxiCharger ensures that fleet and company car drivers are provided with a seamless charging experience via authorised-to-charge RFID cards and/or their smartphone.

Management of the MaxiChargers is made straightforward with the integration of smart back-office management system, Sevadis Cloud, which allows for complete control and full flexibility over the network of EV charging points across the two locations. With the ability to oversee multiple sites on the platform, SEGRO can scale their network of charging facilities to suit their business requirements and manage EV charging activity all on one platform.

For SEGRO, the opportunities are endless with the implementation of the MaxiChargers. Not only can they provide the facilities to recharge electric fleets and company car drivers, but as a result of deploying EV charging infrastructure, they are able to attract forward-thinking businesses to their premises.
