Discover the power of optimized EV fleet energy management. This webinar covers how to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate fleet electrification.
Joachim Lohse is the Founder and CEO of Ampcontrol, an AI-powered software to optimize fleet operations and the charging of electric vehicles. Since 2019, he has worked with charging networks, utilities and fleet operators to reduce total charging costs and ensure a reliable fleet energy management. His team of energy engineers and data scientists are pioneering the future of EV charging. Won Moon Joo is Technical Sales Manager at Ampcontrol. Since 2021, Won Moon has been working closely with fleet operators to help them reach their optimization goals by achieving industry-leading uptime, load management and 24/7/365 monitoring.
Executive Summary
The webinar outlines the importance of fleet energy management for electric vehicle fleet operations, focusing on optimizing charging processes, overcoming grid capacity limitations, and managing cost factors. Ampcontrol's EV experts will explain the significance of smart charging and optimization strategies, such as load management, to ensure efficient and cost-effective charging. Ampcontrol's software capabilities are highlighted, showcasing its role in optimizing fleet electrification processes for fleets and providing UL-certified fleet energy management solutions. The webinar also touches on case studies demonstrating cost savings and operational improvements with Ampcontrol's fleet energy management solutions, along with FAQs addressing common issues and solutions in EV charging.
Executive Summary
Ampcontrol ensures charger certification and testing before connection to the Ampcontrol system, conducting interoperability tests with manufacturers or in their lab multiple times annually for firmware updates. For effective fleet energy management and seamless electric vehicle fleet operations, fleet operators may want to consider avoiding use of only one charger brands for large fleets to mitigate any issues. Proper energy management setup, including minimum load configuration and smart charging testing, complemented with alert systems for proactive issue detection and resolution, is crucial to optimize fleet operations and avoid EV charge point errors.
For this example, let’s look at a site with one integrated connection and multiple transformers or breakers. Ampcontrol provides this site with an innovative, multi-network feature that allows operators to optimize electric vehicle fleet operations across not just a single transformer breaker, but across multiple transformers/breakers. This means fleet operators can charge at a particular site, taking into account different variables to maximize the efficiency of the site and to optimize fleet operations at one specific transformer.
Some of the data that Ampcontrol monitors includes voltage, kilowatts, ampage, and more. All of this data is available through OCPP from the charger, and Ampcontrol uses this information to optimize and ensure that whatever is occurring onsite is following the constraints as defined by the fleet operator.
Ampcontrol works with a wide range of fleets, manufacturers, and solution companies to help them optimize their electric fleet operations. To learn more about Ampcontrol in action, check out the following case studies.
