Factor in V2G Revenue When Planning Fleet Electrification

Driivz

Fleet managers should use smart energy management software to optimize charging operations and minimize electricity costs, ensuring TCO by monitoring, managing, and adjusting energy consumption. For example, time-of-use pricing increases the cost of electricity during peak usage periods, like 4 p.m.
