EV Hub from DriveElectric launches UK service

Promises to make EV use cheaper and more effective for business users

DriveElectric, a UK-based electric vehicle leasing company, has launched a new EV HUB to support businesses in their efforts to reach Net Zero. EV HUB is an in-house development and aims to provide businesses with a simple dashboard that allows them to monitor and manage fleet carbon usage and costs while also tracking charging behaviours.

According to DriveElectric, switching to electric vehicles from fossil fuels is a significant step toward achieving Net Zero here in the UK, but businesses must ensure that their fleets are being charged in a truly green way to maximize the impact. The DriveElectric EV HUB provides businesses with real-time insights into behaviour patterns for every driver, vehicle and charging location – enabling them to report progress towards Net Zero accurately.

The EV HUB also includes CHARGE+, which allows businesses to charge their electric vehicles with low carbon electricity, automatically optimizing the energy delivered to an EV. CHARGE+ can also help businesses use their electric vehicles as batteries, storing cheap power when it is available and selling it back to the grid when it would be most profitable.

The DriveElectric EV HUB is the first step in a series of solutions to help business EV users achieve faster progress towards Net Zero. Mike Potter, Managing Director of DriveElectric, stated, “There's an urgent need for all of us to make rapid progress towards Net Zero.”

“DriveElectric is helping businesses on this journey by complementing its well-established EV leasing offer with our new EV HUB where you can now measure carbon footprint and charging behaviour to make genuine improvements towards a more sustainable business.”

DriveElectric launched the EV HUB at the Fully Charged LIVE event in Farnborough at the end of April, where it showcased its new service to business visitors for the first time. The EV HUB beta is now open to businesses looking to measure and drive down the environmental impact of fleet and business operations.

Potter’s company has been helping organizations and individuals to adopt EVs to save money, lower emissions, and transition to low-carbon energy since 2008. With EV HUB, DriveElectric aims to make the switch to electric cars and vans as simple and cost-effective as possible for fleet managers.

EV HUB is designed to make it easier for businesses to connect to renewable sources of energy by providing intelligent software that helps businesses choose where and when to charge their vehicles. The software also enables businesses to use their electric vehicles as batteries, storing cheap power when it is available and potentially selling it back to the grid when it would be most profitable.

By tracking exactly where and when the greenest energy is available, businesses can ensure that their EV fleets are going to enable them to get to Net Zero faster. With the DriveElectric EV HUB, businesses can access intelligent data to deliver real-time insights into behaviour patterns for every driver, every vehicle, and every charging location.

The EV HUB Charge+ feature also enables businesses to access CrowdCharge technology, which automatically optimises the energy delivered to an EV at home, work or during its journey – lowering both costs and carbon emissions, and potentially reducing grid connection requirements. The Charge+ feature is suitable for a single-site business or distributed over multiple sites, enabling energy optimization, charging, and EV usage at scale.

The EV HUB dashboard promises to be a significant step towards achieving Net Zero, with the dashboard providing businesses with real-time data they need to enable effective monitoring of fleet carbon usage, fleet costs and overall behaviour monitoring.

In theory, that will make it easier for suppliers to sustain higher availability for renewable power.
