Why WideSense

Is the complexity of EV operations making it difficult to electrify your fleet? Do the costs of fleet electrification seem too high for you to justify converting to EVs? We’ve got you covered!

Our Smart EV Fleet Operations Management System is the ultimate solution for fleet operators to make their EV fleets cost-competitive with conventional fuel fleets. WideSense tools unlock the potential of EV fleets by eliminating range uncertainty, and guiding operations that maximize the utilization and reliability of EVs through real-time dispatch and charging guidance, as well as insights on fleet & vehicle performance.

Simply, connect your planning, routing, scheduling and telematics data with the WideSense AI Cloud and get EV fleet insights and real-time operations guidance within days.

Three Tiers to Meet Your Needs

WideSense services are packaged into “Basic”, “Plus” and “Pro” tiers.
Select the tier that best meets your current needs and easily upgrade your plan as your needs change.

FAQ

Yes! Please contact us to talk with our experts about your fleet’s specific needs.
With WideSense Pro, customers can expect higher utilization of vehicles, lower electricity costs. Exact savings amounts vary depending on specific fleet configuration and constraints. When compared to fleets without WideSense, expected annual savings for a fleet of 500 vehicles would be $10-15 million USD per year or $100-150 million USD saved over a ten year vehicle life.
No additional hardware is required to use WideSense Smart EV Fleet Operations Management System. WideSense accesses vehicle data from telematics hardware on your vehicles.
Yes! The WideSense AI System is up and running now, proven in over a million optimized miles of support to our customers. The system is currently available to fleets in the U.S. Canada, Europe, and Latin America.
Yes, the WideSense AI System is compatible with all vehicle and charger manufacturers. The system takes all your constraints and aspects of a mixed fleet into consideration, simplifying operations for fleets with many different vehicle, battery, and charger configurations.
No, Where a telematics product reports vehicle data to a fleet, the WideSense EV Smart Operations Management System uses the telematics data as well as weather, traffic, route topography, and fleet planning, scheduling & routing data to deliver optimal real-time actionable guidance for fleet EV transportation management.
No, the WideSense system integrates with charger management to automatically provide optimized charging schedules for each fleet EV that are updated in real time as conditions, vehicle status, and work requirements change to minimize fuel (energy) cost while maximizing utilization of each EV.

How It Works

EV Trip Feasibility Predictions

Predicts the energy required and feasibility of each piece of work specific to the route, load, EV, driver and that hour’s traffic and weather conditions, with 95% accuracy. Viewable as battery energy required per trip, trips feasible per EV, or EVs suitable per trip.

Empowers fleet operator to identify trips best suited for each electric vehicle in real time, ensuring service reliability, increasing utilization, and reducing energy cost per mile.

EV Trip Realtime Energy Monitoring & Alerting

On-board battery energy is monitored on-route continually. System alerts of a risk to trip completion with actionable guidance to minimize service disruption.

Service staff are also notified to switch chargers to other EVs when bulk charging is complete to support maximum charger utilization and vehicle availability.

100% service reliability
Maximum charger utilization efficiency

Realtime AI Optimized Transportation

Simplifies realtime operational decision-making by recommending an operational plan including trip assignments and charging schedules. Plans are optimized based on real-time conditions and service requirements to ensure reliability while maximizing EV utilization, electric vehicle availability at peak pullout, and electricity cost savings.

On-route monitoring and alerting to support implementation of operational plan with automatic updates as conditions change. Fleet operators benefit from cutting-edge AI technology to optimally assign EVs and charging schedules while eliminating service risk.

40-60% higher electric vehicle utilization
30-50% electricity cost per mile reduction
20-30% reduction in fleet electrification capital expenditures
Operations Management Simplicity:
- Reduces the complexity of running battery electric vehicles.

Maintenance Insights

The WideSense AI Digital Twins automatically learn in actual driving conditions the State of Health, including the performance, aging and degradation of each vehicle’s key components such as battery, drivetrain, braking and regen. Each component’s performance can be compared historically, to extract trends of performance degradation or spot sudden changes. In addition, the component performance can be compared to similar vehicles in the same fleet to find low-performing outliers. The Digital Twins also provides accurate forecasts of the component Remaining Useful Life (RUL) that can inform maintenance scheduling to reduce unanticipated vehicle downtime.
