first automated and managed EV installation & management system launch

Fleet Fix is the first automated service to seamlessly supply, install & manage the entire EV charger process
Start to finish – infrastructure installed at work and home which supports charging needs in the field
Bespoke dashboard offers unrivalled management, analysis and reporting of the installation process
Automated home reimbursement of employee charge costs eliminates expense claims red tape
Installation process exceeds current regulatory requirements

With record numbers of companies transitioning to an electric fleet, the country’s first end-to-end, fully automated and managed system to supply, install and manage all aspects of the EV charger process has been launched.

Fleet Fix has been designed and built to ensure the progression to EV fleet charging is as seamless and efficient as possible. Designed by Ground Control – the UK’s largest landscape construction and maintenance contractor and a two-time winner of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the bespoke system has successfully undergone rigorous field testing and is already used by national organisations who have started the transition to an electric fleet.

The easy-to-use platform allows fleet and business managers to remotely monitor and track every part of the supply and installation process – and can even incorporate notification of readiness for vehicle delivery by their fleet provider. Once completed, the dashboard also offers additional functionality including asset management, charging analytics and reporting of the vehicle fleet.

As we emerge from lockdown, it’s more important than ever that transition to buying or leasing EVs doesn’t disrupt business operations, said Andy Gray, EV Charging Lead at Ground Control. “Key to this will be the efficient installation of charging infrastructure – both at the workplace and at home – along with the ability to support a variety of charging needs in the field.

Fleet Fix was purposely designed to address the biggest hurdles facing businesses and fleet managers – issues such as the home charging of vehicles, reimbursement of home energy costs for charging their EV, integrated solutions for depot charging and the ability for drivers to use the public charging networks when needed.

Over the past three years, we’ve been delivering around 200 tailored EV charging installations a month. Our process exceeds regulatory requirements and we’ve received ‘World Class’ ranking in our NPS customer satisfaction scores.

Fleet Fix’s end-to-end process includes:

For Home charging – a driver-specific link to gather the information needed to install a home charger.
For workplace and Depot – a property survey and the installation of a tailored charging infrastructure solution.
Notification to local District Network Operator
Where required, submission of Methodologies and RAMS if able to proceed
Processing of OZEV Grantwhere applicable)
Notification of completion and handover to the homeowner, property or fleet manager
Confirmation of readiness for vehicle delivery
Automatic employee reimbursement for home charging if required. Alternatively, expenses can also be managed through reports for payroll teams.
Provision of a company/business RFID Electric Fuel Card for use at over 4,000 public chargers

The platform’s EV HUB provides users with complete visibility to monitor and track the installation process. Once completed, the HUB allows for analysis and management of energy consumption and usage. Vehicle drivers are given access to an App for the location of chargers, an RFID Electric Fuel Card to use selected public chargers that can be linked to the individual or vehicle.

All charges can be billed back to the organisation or department, allowing for detailed analysis of the time and date of each charge provided and the tracking of costs. The system can be used in conjunction with Fleet Fix Home, Workplace and On Route.

Ground Control Managing Director Jason Knights, said:

Fleet Fix is the perfect solution for companies that are looking at managing a large scale roll-out of EV charging facilities

It delivers bespoke solutions for each user – it eliminates the need to vet and appraise multiple EV charging manufacturers – and it takes away the pain of processing vehicle home charging costs for employees. Plug into Fleet Fix – the transition to an electric fleet couldn’t be simpler.
