Smart electric charging point management for your vehicle fleet

26.11.2024

A growing electric vehicle fleet brings challenges in terms of parking and charging management. How can you get maximum efficiency from your infrastructure? Orange provides the perfect answer with Smart EV Parking.

Electric mobility demands more from a company than merely making a fleet of EVs available. As the number of EVs grows, so does the need for efficient management of the charging infrastructure. Many businesses start using ad hoc communication via email or WhatsApp but this quickly becomes unfeasible, especially if there are more EVs than parking spaces with charging points. If no charging point is available, this results in lost time and frustration. Smart EV Parking solves this problem.

Availability clear in real time

Smart EV Parking uses cameras and sensors to register charging point activity. A simple app gives drivers access to real-time data on the available charging points and allows them to book parking spaces. This means drivers can be sure their car will be charged, with no waiting time. Once the battery is fully charged, the app sends a message to the car’s owner so it doesn’t needlessly occupy the charging point.

Growing EV-fleet

Orange Belgium developed Smart EV Parking based on its own needs. Fleet manager Christina Bellemans explains: “Since 1 July 2023, all new car purchases are EVs, and today they represent 27% of our car fleet. It is becoming increasingly challenging to use the charging points at our Evere office with maximum efficiency. As digital entrepreneurs, we embrace innovative applications that facilitate the lives of both our organisation and our staff. Smart EV Parking meets the concerns of many fleet managers. It is also fully in line with our ambition to support and accelerate our customers’ digital transformation.”

Smart EV Parking is the result of an exclusive collaboration with CommuniThings. The Belgian scale-up has been pioneering smart parking solutions for local governments at home and abroad for several years. The EV fleet management application fits the picture perfectly.
