This article was written by Sarah Hulseman-Colletti, who is our very knowledgeable Customer Success Engineer. One of the most important information to understand about your electric vehicle is the state of charge. The battery’s state of charge (SOC) refers to how much charge, or energy, is left in the battery....

Tracking your vehicle data in a telematics system to monitor your non-electric vehicles, such as Diesel or CNG buses, helps you increase efficiency, safety, and passenger comfort. It also reduces your fleet’s overall carbon footprint. Let’s explore these benefits and see why you might need a telematics system for your...

One of the biggest concerns for electric vehicle owners is battery degradation. It can have far-reaching consequences for owners and operators, eventually resulting in reduced energy capacity, efficiency, and a delay in the return on investment. The battery can make up 50% of the cost of an electric bus. Keeping...

What is smart charging? The easiest way to understand Smart Charging is to compare it to regular charging. With regular (non-smart) charging as soon as you plug in a vehicle into a charger it will start charging. In this scenario, the battery demands the maximum amount of power until fully...
