“ eDEPOTS ARE NOT AN EMERGING SOLUTION . THEY ’ RE AVAILABLE TODAY AND HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO REVOLUTIONISE THE WAY DELIVERY AND OPERATIONAL FLEETS OPERATE ”
HILMAR VAN DEN DOOL ensuring that the solutions chosen are scalable and robust enough to support an evolving fleet .
There are several questions fleet operators should ask as they implement this strategy . For example , how quickly do you need to charge each vehicle to keep your operations running as effectively as possible ? When is the most convenient time to charge each vehicle to ensure they ’ re ready when needed ? And what are the grid tariffs and regulations in your market ?
