Fleet EV charging optimization

Schedule your fleet to charge overnight at off-peak rates.

Decade Energy reads your electricity tariff and fleet departure times, then builds a charging schedule that keeps every vehicle ready without spiking your grid bill.

The problem

Unmanaged depot charging hits fleet operators where it hurts most

When 20 vans plug in at the same time after the evening shift, the spike in power draw triggers demand charges that can double your electricity bill. Most operators only see it after the invoice arrives.

Modern time-of-use tariffs create real savings windows, but capturing them manually across dozens of vehicles with different departure times is an impossible coordination task without software.

How it works

Three inputs. One optimized schedule.

The Decade scheduler reads live tariff data and your fleet's departure times, then distributes charging automatically across off-peak windows.

Features

Everything your fleet needs. Nothing it does not.

Dynamic tariff optimization

Connects live to your NL electricity tariff feed. Whenever a new price window opens, the schedule recalculates in real time, so your fleet always charges at the cheapest available hour.

Departure readiness guarantee

Every vehicle meets its target state of charge before its scheduled departure. Decade prioritizes later-departing vehicles for overnight charging and flags any readiness conflicts before the shift starts.

Fleet telematics integration

Reads SOC, mileage, and departure assignments directly from your existing TMS or telematics platform. No manual data entry, no separate configuration layer.

Real-time load alerts

Sends an alert the moment your depot's instantaneous load approaches your contracted capacity ceiling, before a demand charge is triggered, not after the meter reading arrives.

Battery storage dispatch

If your depot has a stationary battery, Decade coordinates charge and discharge cycles alongside the vehicle schedule to maximize the amount of stored off-peak energy available for peak hours.

What early-access operators are saying

Before Decade Energy, our peak demand charges were unpredictable. Now every van leaves full in the morning and our October energy invoice was the lowest we have seen since adding the EVs to the fleet.

I was worried the scheduling would clash with our route changes, but the system adjusts overnight without any manual input from us. Our drivers do not notice a difference except the vans are always charged.
