Logistics & Last Mile

Every van charged. Every shift covered.

Mixed AC and DC depot charging for electric vans and HGVs. Smart scheduling integrates with your TMS to guarantee every vehicle is ready for the morning shift — within your DNO connection limit.

100 vans. 6-hour window. One grid connection.

Logistics operators face a brutal electrification constraint: vans return between 18:00 and 21:00, must leave again by 06:00, and the depot's DNO connection may only support a fraction of unmanaged charging demand. Without intelligent scheduling tied to your TMS route data, some vehicles don't complete charging — and routes get cancelled.

  • Mixed fleet: vans (Type 2 AC) and HGVs (CCS2 DC) — different power needs
  • DNO connection limits often below 500 kW — unmanaged charging causes breaches
  • Staggered returns: charging window varies per vehicle and route
  • TMS route data is the key input — charging plans must sync with dispatch schedules

AC for vans. DC for HGVs. BESS for everyone.

A single integrated architecture handles every vehicle type in your logistics depot — from 7 kW overnight AC charging for last-mile vans to 200 kW DC fast charging for heavy goods vehicles — all managed within your DNO limit.

AC fleet charging for electric vans
Last-Mile Vans
AC Smart Charging

7 kW or 22 kW Type 2 AC chargers for electric delivery vans. Overnight smart charging with OCPP 2.0.1 load management. Ideal for large fleets where overnight AC is sufficient to restore full range.

AC charger range
DC fleet charging terminal for HGVs
Heavy Goods Vehicles
DC Fast Terminals

60 kW to 200 kW CCS2 DC charging terminals for electric HGVs and large commercial vehicles. Master Unit architecture distributes power across bays dynamically — maximising throughput within the DNO limit.

Power Hub BESS for logistics depot
Peak Shaving
Integrated BESS

Power Hub BESS units absorb cheap overnight energy and discharge during peak return periods — effectively doubling the charging capacity available within a constrained DNO connection.

Route data in. Charging plan out.
No spreadsheets.

Electron CMS connects to your Transport Management System via REST API. Each evening, it ingests tomorrow's route assignments, calculates required departure SOC per vehicle, and builds a full charging schedule — prioritising vehicles with early departures and longest routes, staying within the DNO limit at all times.

  • TMS API integration — route-aware minimum SOC per vehicle
  • Half-hourly tariff optimisation — maximise cheap overnight rates
  • Hard DNO cap enforcement with real-time demand monitoring
  • Energy cost per vehicle per shift — full depot cost reporting
