Optimising EV van fleet charging with dynamic route planning

Optimising EV van fleet charging with dynamic route planning

When routes change throughout the day and drivers make ad hoc customer visits, fleet operators need real-time visibility into vehicle range and intelligent charging recommendations to eliminate range anxiety and keep operations running smoothly.

Fleet operators managing EV van fleets face a critical challenge: routes are not fixed and change during the day as drivers make last-minute customer visits. Dispatchers struggle to know whether vehicles have sufficient range after unplanned stops, creating operational uncertainty and range anxiety. Static charging location data alone cannot solve this problem when business demands require dynamic decision-making.

Shell EV solutions address these challenges by providing real-time charging location data combined with session management capabilities. By integrating these tools into existing fleet management systems, operators gain the visibility and control needed to optimise charging decisions as routes evolve, ensuring drivers can complete their duties without range concerns.

Solve your core challenges with Shell APIs

Eliminate range anxiety with smart routing

Enable dispatchers and drivers to identify available charging points along adjusted routes in real time, ensuring vehicles can reach suitable chargers even when plans change unexpectedly during the day.

Optimise charging decisions dynamically

Move beyond static location data by accessing live charger availability, power levels, and connector types, allowing fleet operators to make informed charging decisions that match evolving route requirements.

Centralise fleet charging visibility and control

Integrate charging session management directly into fleet operations platforms, giving dispatchers and drivers unified visibility into active sessions, charging status, and vehicle readiness across the entire van fleet.

Shell EV provides comprehensive charging location data and session management capabilities designed for fleet operations with dynamic routing needs. Key API capabilities include:

  • Live charging point availability: Access real-time status information showing which chargers are available, occupied, or offline, enabling dispatchers to direct drivers to open stations and avoid wasted detours
  • Geographic search and filtering: Retrieve nearby charging locations based on driver coordinates, with the ability to filter by connector type, charging speed, and accessibility to match specific van fleet requirements
  • Remote session control: Start and stop charging sessions programmatically, allowing fleet managers to coordinate charging activities as route plans change throughout the day
  • Active session monitoring: Retrieve detailed status of ongoing charging sessions including start time, duration, and charger details, giving dispatchers visibility into which vehicles are charging and when they will be ready for the next customer visit
