1. Benefits of electric vehicle fleets
Electric vehicle fleets are becoming increasingly attractive to companies looking to reduce their operating costs and meet their environmental goals. Switching to electric vehicles can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO). Especially if the vehicles are charged primarily at home, the cost of each kilowatt hour charged is significantly lower than at public charging stations. This leads to a positive balance of operating costs.
2. Benefits of charging at home
Another advantage of home charging is that charging takes place during the night or during working hours when the vehicles are not in use anyway. This eliminates the need for additional trips to public charging stations and the associated waiting times. In addition, more frequent charging with alternating current (AC) protects the vehicle battery, which increases the service life and residual value of the vehicles.
3. Challenges of home charging
Despite the numerous advantages of home charging, there are also some challenges. Employees may not have the necessary charging infrastructure at home. In some cases there is only a household or industrial socket, in other cases wall boxes with or without a fixed cable have already been installed. In addition, accurate and clear billing of charging processes is often difficult, cumbersome or almost impossible.
4. The solution: JUICE BOOSTER 3 air
With the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air, the JUICE EV FLEET SOLUTION offers a flexible and reliable solution to these challenges. The JUICE BOOSTER 3 air is a mobile wallbox, an electricity meter and a billing tool in one device. It can be connected to any available power source, be it a household socket, an industrial socket or an existing wall charging station.
The precise digital electricity meter of the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air records the kilowatt hours charged and automatically transmits the data to a central backend. The charging processes can be easily exported and billed as travel expenses using a user-friendly app. Activation via a programmed RFID dongle or one of the two supplied RFID cards enables the distinction between business and private use.
5. Scenarios for using the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air
Scenario A: No wallbox available : An employee only has a household or industrial socket at home. In this case, the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air can be connected directly to the socket using a suitable adapter. This solution does not require any additional installation and is ready for use straight away.
Scenario B: Existing wallbox with socket : Another employee has already installed a wallbox with a socket. This is where the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air's Type 2 adapter comes into play, connecting the device to the existing infrastructure. The JUICE BOOSTER 3 air takes on the role of the electricity meter and ensures precise recording of the charging data.
Scenario C: Wallbox with fixed cable : The JUICE BOOSTER 3 air also offers a solution for employees who have a wallbox with a fixed cable. A special wallbox adapter is simply connected between the existing charging station and the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air, which allows it to record the charging data and transmit it to the backend, as in scenario B.
6. Administration and Billing
The JUICE EV FLEET SOLUTION offers clear and automatic billing for fleet management. Fleet managers receive a monthly overview of all drivers' charging processes. In addition, individual billing can be created for each employee. This simplifies administration and ensures that all charging processes are recorded correctly, consistently and transparently.
Juice can also take over the shipping of the "JUICE BOOSTER 3 air" devices to employees, which further reduces the organizational effort. If an employee moves from field to office work or leaves the company, the device can simply be returned without incurring additional dismantling costs.
7. Conclusion
The JUICE EV FLEET SOLUTION offers a well thought-out and flexible solution for the management of electric vehicle fleets. With the JUICE BOOSTER 3 air, companies can operate their fleets efficiently, reduce operating costs and achieve their environmental goals. The easy integration into existing infrastructures and automatic billing make the JUICE EV FLEET SOLUTION an optimal and unique solution for modern fleet managers.
