V2X adds the element of bi-directional charging to an electric vehicle, so the vehicle can discharge the energy on, for example to the grid.

Emma Durham, Energy Product Manager explains how V2X is as an evolution of smart charging, where the available charging time of a vehicle can be optimized to coincide with periods of surplus energy generation or lower grid demand, providing cheaper and greener charging.

Accurate up-front analysis of a fleet’s operations is critical because it directly impacts the costs and effectiveness of the transition to electric vehicles (EVs). We’re aiming to strike the right balance between electrifying at a steady rate to protect operational confidence and making the switch to electric at a scale that will maximise efficiency, learnings and cost savings.

This is our Data Scientist, Evgeny Sinkov’s account of the approach we took for this highly complex fleet.

CEO of VEV, Mike Nakrani, discusses how to ensure advanced EV batteries degrade slower than expected, maximising cost-efficiency for fleet operators. The value of an EV is fundamentally tied to the health of its battery, the most expensive component of the vehicle by a considerable margin.
