Compare how different EVs perform in charging time

Have you ever considered charging efficiency? We won’t be surprised if you say ‘no’ to the question! Many traditional procurement models overlook charging efficiency, but we think it’s the other half of the range equation.

A slower-charging EV might seem viable, but it may end up spending less time on the road, particularly if it needs charging during the working day. This will affect operational efficiency and in-life cost. On the other hand, choosing a vehicle with faster charging speeds can potentially save hundreds or even thousands per vehicle, which might add up to millions across a full fleet over its contract period.

Our EV Charging Downtime Analysis can help you explore this area. It factors in the time spent and range delivered per charging session, the total downtime cost per charge, the downtime cost per mile and the total downtime cost over a contract period. The result is a direct comparison of the downtime impact of charging two different electric vehicles. It can then scale this impact across your entire fleet, so you can build charging speed into your procurement decisions.
