FLEET MANAGEMENT
OPTIMISING EV OPERATIONS
ChargePoint ’ s software platform is purpose-built to optimise EV operations for fleets , regardless of where charging occurs .
Joe illustrates how fleet managers make gains from a unified platform that provides comprehensive visibility , data management and cost control across all charging scenarios . “ The platform shines in high-pressure environments such as depots with tight turnaround times , where maintaining productivity is crucial .”

Its engineering integrates smoothly with customers ’ existing fleet management systems , ensuring operations remain efficient and uninterrupted throughout the transition to EVs and beyond .
