Charge management

Smart planning

The most important factor when operating electric vehicles

When integrating electric vehicles to a fleet, agencies

is to monitor the current state of charge (SoC) because
the actual range of electric vehicles is significantly harder
to predict than of vehicles with conventional combustion
engines. The route profile, traffic jams, passenger loads, the

need for air conditioning or heat, and above all, the driver's

individual driving style have a direct impact on total energy
consumption.

A reliable charge management system provides predictions

of future energy consumption, monitors charging processes,
and ensures appropriate charge management and balancing
to avoid expensive peak loads.

Range prediction
Range limitations and susceptibility to fluctuation are widely

regarded as particular weak spots in e-mobility. Hence, it is

must start with planning. An innovative planning tool for
e-buses allows you to simulate scenarios using your specific

vehicles, charging station types, passenger loads and various
temperature ranges. A robust software platform will deliver
the most economical plan for helping you implement
electric vehicles into your fleet.

Carefully comprehensive
INIT provides a comprehensive solution that carefully
considers all aspects of e-mobility in public transit. Our

overall solution allows you to roll out e-mobility in a way

that is safe, controlled, and predictable - and ensures an
efficient and successful operation of your fleet.
