Maximize the Value of Your Charge Management System with WideSense

Lead the Charge with WideSense AI

If you’re already using—or considering—a Charge Management System (CMS) for your EV fleet, you know it plays a key role in managing charging tasks like safety control, scheduling, and energy limitation based on user inputs. While CMS solutions are essential for these functions, large-scale fleet operations bring additional complexities that go beyond the original scope of most CMS capabilities. Addressing these challenges requires a more comprehensive approach to optimize performance, reduce costs, and ensure fleet readiness.

That’s where WideSense comes in. By integrating with your existing CMS, WideSense adds a powerful layer of real-time intelligence, operational guidance, and automation that transforms fleet-scale charging strategy, creating significant additional value.

The WideSense Advantage for CMS Users

Predictive Energy Management with Digital Twins

WideSense goes beyond historical average-based schedules by using digital twins—virtual models of your EVs—to forecast their exact energy needs based on their specific tasks, day-to-day conditions, and vehicle profiles. This means you’ll always know how much state of charge (SoC) each vehicle needs and how long it will take to charge it, ensuring efficient, precise energy use without the guesswork.

Optimized Vehicle-to-Work Assignments

WideSense matches the right vehicle to the right task based on real-time SoC and operational demands, maximizing fleet utilization. This ensures that no vehicle is sitting idle or underutilized, allowing you to get the most out of every bus in your fleet.

Dynamic Charge Scheduling

While CMS solutions efficiently manage charging schedules, they may not incorporate the real-time operational insights needed for accurate demand forecasting. WideSense addresses this by contextually adapting charging times and priorities based on live data, such as schedule interruptions, route adjustments, and energy tariff changes. This improved predictive capability ensures vehicles are charged optimally, aligning with operational needs and reducing avoidable energy costs.

Cost Optimization

WideSense integrates energy tariff data, dynamically adjusting charge schedules to maximize the use of off-peak pricing without sacrificing operations. By syncing charging with both operational needs and the lowest energy rates, WideSense drives significant cost savings while maintaining fleet readiness.
