Ladpoint has introduced the Flex Plus EV Home Charger for European fleet markets, in particular on the company car segment in the region, which is 60% of the new vehicle turnover. The Flex Plus integrates into the Software Triver Management Solution by ChargePoint and enables fleet managers to precisely reimburse drivers for energy consumption at home, to monitor public charging activities and to receive extensive knowledge of fleet activities.
The Flex Plus debut as the first charger based on the new loading platform from Ladpoint, in which the dynamic load management is integrated in real time that optimizes the loading rates based on the available current. This function enables faster remote load and at the same time prevent expensive upgrades for electrical services at home. In addition, the system is designed with compatibility functions for Smart Home functions to integrate solar modules, batteries and wider components for energy management at home.
A unique backplate assembly system improves portability. This system was designed for fleet managers that control the loading assets, and enables drivers to easily remove and reinstall their chargers, which supports asset management and at the same time lowers the move costs when the residences are moved.
“Fleet managers and company car drivers need a seamless experience to hug their electric vehicles completely,” said Hossein Kazemi, CTO for hardware at Chargepoint. “The new Flex Plus charger pairs with the driver's management solution from Ladpoint in order to automatically reimburse the company's drivers for the charging processes, which makes it easier for drivers and fleet managers to become electrical.”
The driver solving software from ChargePoint offers fleet managers tools for onboarding drivers, the management of driver groups, the assignment of specific charging requirements, the consolidation of VAT bills in several regions and monitoring activities via a central dashboard. Fleet car drivers benefit from the simplified installation of Home Charger and optimized access to public shops via an adaptable app or interfaces in the vehicle.
The ChargePoint Flex Plus can now be ordered as part of its driver management solution, whereby the first deliveries are expected later in summer.
