A new EV charger monitoring system has been launched by Webfleet.
The system integrates EV charger data directly into the Webfleet fleet management platform, including real-time updates on charger availability, occupancy, speed and vehicle-to-charger location, while supporting multi-site monitoring.
It also offers insights into energy costs, consumption, usage trends and average charging time, helping with improvements to charging strategy.
Any charger brand following open charging protocols (OCPP and OCPI) can be integrated without needing additional hardware.
Taco Olthoff, EV programme director for Webfleet’s parent company Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said: “One of the most important things for managers operating EVs is to make sure they can keep running their business reliably.
“EV charger monitoring supports this. A fleet manager gets an overview, in Webfleet, of all charging stations at various locations, regardless of the supplier.
“We want to avoid the risk of starting the workday with an uncharged EV, which could lead to an unplanned stop at a fast charger, increasing both time and costs. Our solution allows for notifications, should something unexpectedly go wrong.”
