Pre-conditioned driving environments for on-time deliveries

Business objective

A Fortune 500, multinational food, snack, and beverage corporation looked for a way to pre-condition their truck cabins before drivers began their 5 A.M. route. In order to ensure a comfortable driving environment and on-time deliveries, the organization needed a way to heat or cool the cabins before drivers began their shift.

Solution

EverCharge worked fully remotely, and spoke directly with site managers to understand driver challenges. By comparing these comments to EVSE logs, our engineers customized SmartPower’s “smart charging” behavior to enable pre-conditioning at 4 A.M. (one hour before drivers took off) while continuing to charge vehicles that needed power.

Outcome

All in all, Evercharge’s patented SmartPower technology was configured to more proactively allocate energy, and pre-condition each truck to driver preferences. The final result, delivered in 2-3 weeks from inquiry, eliminated delays related to heating and air conditioning across the company’s 12 last-mile distribution centers. As soon as drivers arrive for work each morning, they’re able to hit the road.
