Streamlining Electric Vehicle Fleet Administration in the US: Debut of Siemens' Depot360
Siemens Mobility Services, a division of Siemens Corporation Supply Chain Management, has introduced a groundbreaking solution to streamline and cost-effectively manage home charging for electric vehicle (EV) fleets. The Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement offers a simplified approach to home charging expense tracking and reimbursement processes, eliminating the need for expensive networked chargers and meters at drivers' homes [3][4].
Key Features and Benefits
Energy Cost Optimization
Depot360 leverages real-time and day-ahead energy pricing data to schedule vehicle charging at optimal low-cost times, helping fleets reduce energy expenses by 20–40% through tariff alignment and demand charge avoidance [1].
Scalability and AI Integration
The platform uses AI to integrate data from routes, vehicle performance, charging behavior, and utility rates for smarter planning, continuous improvement, and adapting to fleet growth [1].
Remote Management
By enabling fleet managers to remotely manage charging complexity, Depot360 allows for a reduction in internal resource demands, enabling focus on operational readiness [1].
Sustainability
Depot360 supports emissions reduction goals by facilitating fleet electrification, integration of on-site renewable energy, and home charging reimbursement, contributing to cleaner transportation systems [1][3].
Cost Savings on Infrastructure
The solution eliminates the need for costly networked chargers or meters in drivers' homes, lowering capital and operational expenses linked to home charging reimbursement programs [4].
Transitioning to Electrification with Depot360
Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement is designed to simplify the electrification transition for fleet operators, reducing energy and operational costs while supporting sustainability efforts. The solution also enables fleets to participate in energy programs [2].
The collective data from home charging sessions will feed the algorithms of the Depot360 AI platform, allowing for optimization across all fleet charging applications [5]. Siemens Mobility Services aims to roll out Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement to all of its 11,000 vehicles in the US by 2030 [6].
For more information, visit ACT Expo booth #4315 [7]. Siemens works with telematics providers to access real-time vehicle data for fair and accurate reimbursement [8]. The solution includes 24/7 access to Siemens' experts for driver onboarding, managing queries, providing analytics, and troubleshooting [9].
Home charging is an integral part of broader corporate charging strategies, and Siemens' Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution is paving the way for a more efficient and cost-effective approach to managing EV fleets [10]. Adam Orth, US Head of Fleet at Siemens Mobility Services, stated that the company's internal solution development demonstrates their in-house expertise [11].
