Basemap Ltd – Electric Vehicle Routing (EVR)
Electric Vehicle Routing (EVR)
Overview
Basemap’s Electric Vehicle Routing (EVR) solution is an advanced software tool designed to optimize route planning for commercial electric vehicles (EVs). It helps fleet managers plan efficient routes by accounting for various battery impacting factors like temperature, load weight, wind speed & direction, driver behaviour and road gradients. By considering these elements, the tool accurately predicts energy consumption and ensures the vehicles maintain sufficient battery levels for their journeys.
One of the key benefits of EVR is its ability to mitigate “range anxiety”, a common concern for fleet operators transitioning from internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric. EVR allows operators to visualise cost and emissions savings and can handle both fully electric and mixed fleets, making it a versatile tool for companies in the process of transitioning to electric vehicles. This not only supports sustainability goals but also helps fleets comply with emission regulations in different regions.
Basemap has designed EVR to be scalable, offering solutions for small to large fleets. It can also integrate seamlessly with third party fleet management software like Verizon Connect.
Benefits
Energy Efficiency – EVR optimizes routes to minimize energy consumption, helping to extend usable range, alleviating “range anxiety” as well as reducing the need for charging stops.
Cost Savings – By creating & highlighting routes that can be served by EVs it allows fleets to confidently switch routes from ICE to EVs, taking advantage of cheaper day to day running costs. EVs are cheaper to operate due to lower fuel costs (electricity v’s gasoline/diesel)
Environmental Impact – EVR helps reduce a fleets’ overall emissions by promoting the switch to EV fleets, contributing to cleaner transportation and sustainability goals.
