The resounding consensus among business experts in recent years is the revolutionary potential of data-driven decision-making. Business Intelligence (BI) and the adoption of reporting tools have proven to be game changers. Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) champions the cause of logic and evidence over intuition, bias, and assumptions, paving the way for smarter evidence-based choices.
Tesla, for example, isn’t just spearheading EV evolution — they're in the EV universe with self-driving cars. EV fleet owners can also use data to create an advanced EV fleet management system to boost efficiency and provide cost savings.
Telematics is one such vehicle technology. This technology uses onboard diagnostics to collect data and generate reports that optimize routes, and monitor vital factors like location, driver behavior, charging patterns, and vehicle health.
The Crucial Role of Telematics in EV Fleet Management
Telematics leverages IoT, GPS, and in-vehicle hardware to efficiently gather and transmit data to fleet managers. This information can be conveniently monitored on a unified dashboard, providing fleet managers access to comprehensive performance reports, encompassing historical and real-time metrics that streamline EV fleet management.
Telematics offers significant advantages to fleet managers and owners:
- Stay on Track: Real-time navigation and tracking with live map updates enhance efficiency.
- Smart Driving Insights: Driving analysis to assess route choices, speeding incidents, breakdowns, and other relevant factors provides insight into driver behavior.
- Assessable Charging Data: Monitoring charging data and EV energy usage optimizes battery health and vehicle algorithms. For example, scheduling charging cycles during periods with low electricity rates can effectively reduce charging expenses.
- Battery Saving: Automated alerts to drivers regarding battery use prevent depletion.
- Timely Vehicle Updates: Automated alerts regarding vital vehicle parts like batteries or tires. These alerts facilitate timely maintenance, preventing unexpected vehicle downtime through well-planned repairs and servicing.
