Interested in learning more about EV charging stations and fleet electrification? Check out this very informative article by my colleagues Michelle Stark, PE & Danny DeGennaro, EIT at #cdmsmith

We launched Guided Energy to make it easier and cheaper to operate a fleet of electric vehicles. Today, fleets use the Guided Energy platform to streamline real-time EV operations from dispatch to charging to expense management. However, many are struggling with the new variables of electrification - whether it is to understand the real range (e.g., on a cold day), charger performance, driver behaviour, battery health or more. This is why we are excited to launch our EV fleet performance toolkit for businesses to understand and find actionable ways to improve the performance of their electric vehicles.

⚡ Fleet Electrification ⚡ What a thought... Where to start? How to deploy the perfect solution for your business? When to set up EV Infrastructure vs ordering the vehicles? SO many questions. Not easy to find the answers. At FOR EV, we’re all about making fleet electrification simple, rewarding and risk-free for our customers. We know making the move to electric can be complex and expensive. We remove those barriers by designing your perfect fleet solution whether that be at your depot or on the road.    Our contract is simple. We can take care of everything, from all upfront costs, electricity and operation, to maintenance and hardware refreshes. You pay a pre-agreed cost per kWh, charged quarterly based on your electricity usage. We find this delivers long-term savings to your bottom line. We already work with large-scale fleet operators like Network Rail Scotland and can tailor solutions to fleets of any size or type. It’s all about working with you to understand the specific needs of your business so we can establish ourselves as your trusted EV Charging partner. If you would like a demo of the product, please reach out and we can show you how easy and cost effective EV infrastructure can be.

GM Intros Vehicle-to-Home Bidirectional Charging Bundles https://lnkd.in/gPZ34cBa auto connected car newsAs EV technology continues to evolve, GM is working toward elevating the overall ownership experience by introducing new ways for customers to unlock additional value and gain access to the expanded benefits of an all-electric future. Available for the first time as part of its expanding product ecosystem, GM Energy’s initial offerings for residential customers will enable the use of vehicle-to-home (V2H) bidirectional charging technology to provide power from a compatible GM EV to a properly equipped home, helping to mitigate the negative impacts of weather-related outages and integrate with future clean energy products for even greater personal grid resiliency.

DOE has launched a supertruck charge program for MHDV charging!    We're excited that the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has launched a $72 million funding program for SuperTruck Charge, which will enable the design, development, and demonstration of innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in support of electrified medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (MHDVs). It also enhances grid resiliency and reliability. We are identifying potential solutions to address the current gaps in electrified MHDV charging infrastructure, enabling greater utilization of electrified fleets, and drastically reducing GHG emissions due to medium- and heavy-duty trucks.   The SuperTruck Charge funding program supplements the ongoing SuperTruck 3 program, with an emphasis on demonstrating technologies to accelerate the widespread buildout of the high-power charging infrastructure necessary for battery electric MHD trucks.   Learn more about the program ➡ https://lnkd.in/gP-ynXcn

Enabling EVs to not just receive energy from the grid, but to also send it back to the driver's own home, bidirectional charging is revolutionizing the way we use our cars. Helping EV drivers to reduce their energy bills, make their homes more sustainable, and increase their energy resilience, many EV manufacturers are now taking advantage of this new type of charger such as Kia, Volkswagon, and GM. Qmerit is proud to help support leading automakers as their preferred installer in the bidirectional charging revolution as we transform our transportation and our lives.
