FLEET DEPOT CHARGING
Charging planned around routes, shifts and return-to-depot windows.
EV Whale assesses vehicle duty cycles, dwell time, site capacity and staged fleet growth before sizing charging power, solar, storage and controls.

PROJECT CHALLENGE
A depot is an operating system, not a collection of chargers.
- Vehicle type, route energy and daily distance determine how much energy must be restored.
- Arrival peaks and departure deadlines determine the power window—not the charger nameplate alone.
- Existing switchboards and grid connections may not support simultaneous high-power charging.
DELIVERY APPROACH
Build the charging plan from the fleet timetable.
Review electrical capacity, solar resource, parking geometry and future fleet growth.
Start with the vehicles and shifts that create the clearest operational case, then expand modules and terminals.
Prepare one data layer for vehicles, bookings, energy, charging cost and driver access.
LIFECYCLE VALUE
Replace or expand the module that changes.
The DC bus and BIDC cabinet, battery containers, charging power cabinets and terminals remain serviceable system boundaries. If battery capacity later degrades, the battery container can be replaced without discarding the entire charging system.
FAQ
Questions project teams ask
How is depot charging power calculated?
From the fleet duty cycle, available charging window, vehicle battery acceptance, site energy sources and the guaranteed output of the complete system.
Can the depot expand in stages?
Yes. Expansion must still re-check battery power, busbar, protection, cabling, cooling and EMS limits.
Does storage remove every grid constraint?
Storage can buffer site demand and support higher charging power, but every project still requires electrical, safety and operating studies.
