Volteum provides detailed reports that offer precise figures and data, and summarizes the financial savings and environmental impact of the electrification journey. Our accurate data analysis ensures firm decisions that align with your goals and positively contribute to a greener future.
The Electric Fleet Planner provides the most precise insights and tools to accomplish electrification goals with confidence. With Volteum, you have the tools and support you need to make this transition efficiently and effectively - and the Planner just got even better with our latest product update!
New EV Simulation feature for informed decision making
Volteum’s Electric Fleet Planner now offers an advanced EV Simulation feature. With this update, fleet managers can simulate real-world routes to gain insight into how EVs will perform in their operations. Let's dive into the details:
- Precise simulation engine: Our advanced simulation engine sets us apart from the rest. While questionable WLTP data and unreliable range predictions fuel range anxiety and distrust, our simulation engine stands out for its accuracy and reliability. Fleet managers can trust that our simulations provide precise insights into how EVs perform on different routes - taking into account elevation, different weather conditions, traffic and specifications of the EVs and batteries.
- Understanding daily trips: The EV Simulation feature helps fleet managers gain a deeper understanding of how their drivers can fulfil their daily trips. By simulating passenger vehicles and light commercial electric vehicles, users can assess which vehicles might need charging during the day and identify feasible routes with or without charging. This valuable information empowers fleet managers to make informed decisions about vehicle selection and charging infrastructure.
- Charging time and range analysis: One of the key benefits of the EV Simulation feature is the ability to visualize how much time is needed for charging between trips - let it be a trip from one city to another or a complex last-mile delivery route with 150 addresses. Fleet managers can easily assess how the range of different EV models changes in different weather conditions. This insight allows for better planning and optimization of charging schedules, ensuring seamless operations and minimizing downtime.
- Making informed decisions: By simulating how EVs would perform on your actual routes, you gain valuable insights to confidently choose vehicles and make operational changes to support your electrification goals. This feature eliminates the guesswork involved in transitioning your fleet to EVs and ensures you make the best choice for your needs.
Overall, the new EV Simulation feature in the Electric Fleet Planner gives you a customized, fact-based assessment of how EVs would work for your fleet’s daily operation. With accurate simulations, fleet managers can confidently select the perfect EVs for their specific needs, optimize charging infrastructure, and make data-driven decisions that lead to a more sustainable future.
