How a Regional Fleet Operator Streamlines Charging Across 50+ Vehicles
A regional fleet operator (DEMO) needed to charge dozens of vehicles overnight without blowing its site's power budget. OneCharge's smart charging and driver tools turned a manual, spreadsheet-driven process into an automated one, with full visibility into cost and usage.

The challenge
Apex Fleet Logistics (DEMO) runs a mixed fleet of vans and trucks that all return to base within the same few-hour window each night, and all needed to be fully charged before the next shift.
With every vehicle plugged in at once, electricity costs and site power capacity were becoming impossible to predict, and the operations team was tracking charge status manually.
The solution
OneCharge's smart charging engine now schedules and load-balances every vehicle in the depot automatically, spreading charging across the overnight window so every truck is ready for its shift without exceeding the site's power limit.
The operations team gets real-time visibility into every charger from one dashboard, plus exportable energy usage data for cost reporting, replacing the spreadsheet they used to track manually.
“We used to reshuffle the charging schedule by hand every night. Now the system does it for us, and drivers just plug in and go.”
