Charge smarter.Pay less. Power cleaner.
An AI-driven energy management platform for electric bus fleets. Smart Charge knows every route, every tariff, every solar panel and every charger on site — and orchestrates every session so vehicles always depart ready, at the lowest possible cost.
Route-Aware Charging Intelligence
Charge what theroute needs. No more.
Smart Charge ingests each bus's daily timetable and every route's exact kWh-per-kilometre profile. It computes the minimum state-of-charge each vehicle must reach before its next departure — and only fills beyond that when electricity is cheap enough to be worth banking.
Real-Time Tariff Optimisation
Pause at peak.Resume when cheap.
Smart Charge connects to live electricity pricing APIs and tracks spot prices, time-of-use tariffs, night-rate windows and weekend discounts — 24/7. When tariffs rise, it holds vehicles in smart standby. When they drop, charging resumes automatically. Upcoming cheap windows are planned for in advance.
Solar + ESS Integration
Your own sun.Stored. Spent first.
Smart Charge balances three energy sources in real time — grid, rooftop solar (PV), and the on-site Energy Storage System (ESS). Solar feeds vehicles first; excess is stored in the ESS for later; grid fills the gaps only when it must. Every kilowatt-hour is routed to its most valuable use.
AC · DC Smart Assignment
Fast chargers forurgent turnarounds only.
Depots mix a handful of costly DC fast chargers with many economical AC units. Smart Charge assigns each vehicle based on time-before-departure: buses with ample window go to 22 kW AC; short-turnaround buses get a 150 kW DC slot. Fast chargers are never tied up by vehicles that don't need them.
ANPR Arrival · Instant Assessment
Bus enters the depot.Plan is ready in under a second.
An ANPR camera at the facility entrance reads the licence plate the moment a bus returns. Smart Charge immediately pulls the vehicle's live SoC, its next route, available charging time, current tariff and charger availability — and produces a charging plan before the driver has finished parking.
Live Depot View
Every bus.Every charger. One view.
A continuous telematics feed keeps Smart Charge aware of each bus's SoC and GPS position — whether it's on route, returning, or already in a bay. Every charger reports its status in real time via OCPP. The result: no charger conflicts, no idle fast chargers, no surprises.
Operator Dashboard · Driver App
Everyone seeswhat they need.
Fleet managers run the depot from a full-featured desktop application with real-time vehicle, charger and energy telemetry. Each driver gets a mobile app that shows, at a glance, whether their bus will be ready for the next service — with alerts if anything changes.
Measurable ROI & ESG
Every euro saved.Every gram of CO₂.
Smart Charge logs every charging event, every energy source and every tariff window. Exportable daily, weekly and monthly reports quantify savings versus a baseline, document renewable-energy utilisation, and feed directly into ESG and sustainability reporting.
