Charging management software brand Vaylens has announced a new partnership with smart vehicle chargepoints provider waEV-charge.
Launched by the KOSTAL Group, Vaylens software will be directly integrated with waEV-charge’s hardware. This will enable fleet operators to track and manage energy consumption across a limitless number of at-home and at depot charge points, it said.
Through the partnership, company drivers can charge at home and get automatically reimbursed, with payments sent directly to their energy provider, with no manual approval required.
Vaylens captures dynamic tariffs and actual energy usage, ensuring employees are reimbursed the exact amount. Driver-led insights and smart reporting identify where drivers charge most frequently and at what cost.
This assists fleet managers “to make smarter, data-driven decisions that improve efficiency across home, depot, and road operations”, it said. The announcement follows vaylens’ launch last year of a new suite of solutions for fleet managers.
Russell Olive, UK Director, Vaylens said:
“Fleet managers are under pressure to reduce costs and streamline operations across multiple charging locations. With most fleet vehicles taken home overnight, home charging is a vital part of any strategy.
“But without visibility or control across depot and home charging, energy use can become fragmented, reimbursing drivers gets complicated, and opportunities to optimise are lost.”
“By combining our intelligent software with waEV-charge’s proven, reliable hardware, and their strong track record in residential installation, we’re giving fleet managers a solution they can trust. It’s smart, scalable, and designed for how fleets actually operate today.”
Joe Fogel, founder and CEO of waEV, commented:
“Embedding vaylens in our industry-leading chargers takes our support of the fleet management sector to the next level. Our reputation for reliable installation and high user satisfaction in the home market as shown by being the highest rated charger on Trustpilot gives fleet operators confidence that their infrastructure will work every time.
“This partnership represents a major step forward in helping UK fleets reduce complexity and accelerate their EV transition.”
