EV Taxi Fleet ToU Charging Scheduler

Does your ev taxi fleet fit the off-peak window? Hours needed, minimum chargers and monthly ToU savings.

The cheapest kWh is the off-peak kWh โ€” but only if the whole fleet physically fits through the window. Taxis run 250+ km/day and can't afford daytime charging downtime โ€” split charging between a cheap overnight base charge and short opportunity top-ups. Enter fleet size, charger count and window length; the tool reports required charging hours, whether you spill into normal-rate hours, and what fitting the window is worth per month.

Monthly ToU savings vs normal-rate chargingโ‚น70,200

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

Frequently asked questions

How many chargers does my fleet actually need?+

Enough that fleet energy รท (chargers ร— kW ร— 0.92) fits inside your charging window โ€” not one per vehicle. A 20-van fleet needing 700 kWh nightly fits an 8-hour window with just 9ร— 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 โ€” price that monthly cost against each fix's capex.

Why is there a 92% efficiency factor?+

AC charging loses 6โ€“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. โ€” 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 โ€” see the demand-charge tool for that side of the win.
