The inclusion of BYD has expanded our supported brands to 179, elevating the tally of electric vehicle manufacturers we assist to 39. We offer standardized data parameters across all, ensuring uniformity and accuracy.
Last year electric vehicle (EV) sales in the United Kingdom demonstrated a consistent upward trend. Out of the total 315,000 EV units sold in 2023, a substantial proportion, amounting to 242,235, was allocated to the fleet sector.
However, fleet managers are feeling uneasy about the charging setup, which is giving them second thoughts about going electric. They're worried about getting a reliable charge when they need it. One big reason for this worry is that the motorway charging spots in the UK aren't hitting
The challenge extends to extracting pertinent parameters from electric vehicles for effective fleet management. This task is compounded by the absence of standardized data reporting akin to the FMS standard for internal combustion engine vehicles. Essential parameters lack precise definitions, and data availability varies across vehicles, impeding the extraction of consistent data. Moreover, the translation of parameters utilized for combustion engine vehicles to their electric counterparts is not always straightforward, further complicating the process.
Benefiting from Inventure's extensive expertise spanning over two decades in delivering comprehensive vehicle parameter solutions, we proudly introduce standardized parameter data tailored specifically for electric vehicles across nearly 40 prominent brands. Below, we present the six most critical parameters for these vehicles, encompassing the latest addition of the BYD model to our CAN decoding database.
1. State of charge: indicates the current charge percentage and when to charge the battery
2. High voltage battery voltage: provides an indicative parameter for battery performance degradation and when the batteries may need to be replaced
3. High voltage current: indicates battery performance degradation by measuring the extractable current
4. High voltage battery power: determines driving style and economy by measuring the power output
5. Consumed energy: measures the cost per 100 km in kw/hour, which can be converted into any currency
6. Recuperated energy: determines vehicle economy by comparing it with consumed energy.
These datasets empower telematics service providers to furnish fleet managers with precise insights into electric vehicle operations. Furthermore, the unified dataset facilitates seamless comparison among vehicles within mixed fleets.
