Video interview: How Siemens Depot360 platform makes EV fleet charging simple
As commercial and municipal fleets look to transition to EVs, many operators face unfamiliar territory. From assessing charging infrastructure needs to coordinating across departments that have never had to collaborate before, the electrification journey can be daunting. Siemens aims to streamline this process with its Depot360 solution—a comprehensive, AI-enabled platform designed to make the switch… Read more »
Providing EV charging intelligence where it’s needed
Some EV charging infrastructure control functions are best handled on-site, some in the cloud. Driivz and Sparkion offer a combination of both. Every EV charging system consists of various components, including hardware (chargers, switchgear), software (charging management, user apps) and services (installation, payment processing, maintenance). As regular Charged readers know, companies that want to provide… Read more »
