Streamlined Electric Vehicle Fleet Administration through Siemens' Depot360 US Debut
Siemens Mobility Services has announced the launch of its Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution, a key step in the company's efforts to accelerate the electrification journey for fleet operators. This innovative solution is designed to manage and automate the reimbursement process for home charging of electric fleet vehicles.
Simplified Home Charging Reimbursement for Fleet Operators
The Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution is part of Siemens' Depot360 platform, which aims to handle the financial and operational complexities associated with the home charging of take-home EVs. It integrates with vehicle telematics and charging hardware to ensure accurate tracking of energy usage for reimbursement.
Benefits for Fleet Operators
The solution offers several benefits to fleet operators:
- Cost Reduction: By converting large capital expenditures into manageable operational expenses, Depot360 reduces the financial burden of infrastructure investment. It also prevents overpayments and ensures drivers are compensated fairly for home charging.
- Streamlined Management: Depot360 centralises and simplifies the management of EV charging across multiple sites and individual driver homes. It provides real-time visibility, predictive maintenance, and remote issue resolution—minimising downtime and reducing manual coordination.
- Energy Savings: The platform uses AI-enabled insights and real-time system monitoring to optimise charging schedules and energy use, reducing peak demand charges and grid impacts.
Scaling Electrification with Depot360
Siemens Mobility Services plans to roll out the Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution to 11,000 vehicles in the US by 2030. The solution is compatible with all chargers and electric vehicles (EVs).
The collective data from home charging sessions will be used to optimise the Depot360 AI platform across all fleet charging applications. The solution may predict the optimal charging mix for different locations, such as depots, public chargers, and homes.
Expert Support and Analytics
The Depot360 Home Charging Reimbursement solution includes 24/7 access to Siemens' experts for driver onboarding, managing queries, providing analytics, and troubleshooting. This ensures a seamless and efficient reimbursement process for fleet operators.
