Delivery Van Fleet ToU Scheduler — UK

Fit a delivery van fleet into UK off-peak windows; chargers needed and monthly savings.

UK fleets exploit cheap overnight windows (Economy-7 style and agile tariffs) against 38p peak rates. Last-mile vans are the easiest fleet to electrify: predictable ~120 km routes, depot parking every night, and 11 kW AC charging covers the day's energy in under 4 hours. The scheduler checks whether your charger count physically fits the fleet through the cheap window — and prices the spill if it doesn't.

Hours = energy ÷ (chargers × kW × 92% efficiency). If the fleet doesn't fit, either add chargers, raise charger power, or sequence vehicles in two shifts — sequencing is free, hardware isn't.

Frequently asked questions

How many chargers does my fleet actually need?+

Enough that fleet energy ÷ (chargers × kW × 0.92) fits inside your charging window — not one per vehicle. A 20-van fleet needing 700 kWh nightly fits an 8-hour window with just 9× 11 kW chargers and sequencing. The minimum-chargers output does this math directly.

What if my fleet doesn't fit the off-peak window?+

Three options, cheapest first: sequence vehicles in rotating groups (software/relays, nearly free), add chargers, or raise charger power. The tool shows the spill share charged at normal rates — price that monthly cost against each fix's capex.

Why is there a 92% efficiency factor?+

AC charging loses 6–10% between the meter and the pack (charger electronics, onboard converter, cable). Plans that ignore it come up short by exactly that margin at 5 a.m. — the calculator buys energy at the meter, where you pay.

Is sequencing charging hard to implement?+

Rarely. Most networked chargers support load-management groups natively; even dumb chargers can rotate via timer relays. The control investment is typically a fraction of one month's demand-charge savings — see the demand-charge tool for that side of the win.
