DriveElectric demonstrates new EV HUB

DriveElectric demonstrated its new EV HUB to media and businesses at Fully Charged LIVE North at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate on 19th, 20th & 21st May.

The unique, in-house developed EV HUB, which complements DriveElectric’s electric vehicle leasing offer, allows businesses to view the cost and carbon of electric vehicles and their charging in real time. The EV HUB includes CHARGE+ which automatically optimizes the energy delivered to an EV, enabling businesses to charge electric vehicles with low carbon electricity.

The DriveElectric EV HUB is the first step in a series of solutions to help business EV users to achieve faster progress towards Net Zero. At its core, the EV HUB provides an easy to use, simple dashboard for a business fleet. Businesses can monitor and manage fleet carbon usage, fleet costs, and monitor charging behaviors to give a full picture of how green and efficient a fleet really is.

The EV HUB also helps businesses access intelligent data to deliver real time insights into behavior patterns for every driver, every vehicle, and every charging location. The EV HUB provides businesses with a clear picture of how a fleet is operating in terms of efficiency and carbon and gives the ability to report progress towards Net Zero.

Businesses can also add the EV HUB Charge+ feature to access CrowdCharge technology and automatically optimize the energy delivered to an EV at home, work or en route, to lower cost and carbon, and potentially reduce grid connection requirements. Suitable for a single site business or distributed over multiple sites, Charge+ enables energy optimization, charging, and EV usage at scale.

DriveElectric launched its new EV HUB to support its business offer at Fully Charged LIVE South at Farnborough International on 28th, 29th & 30th April. DriveElectric is also the Business Partner for Fully Charged LIVE North at the Yorkshire Event Centre in Harrogate on 19th, 20th & 21st May.

Fully Charged LIVE North will deliver a wide range of visitor attractions including live sessions across two theatres hosted by Fully Charged presenters Robert Llewellyn, Jack Scarlett, Helen Czerski, Imogen Pierce, and Dan Caesar.

The Fully Charged SHOW – the world’s number one electric vehicle and clean energy channel with over four million YouTube views per month – hit one million subscribers in April 2023.

“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 behavior to make genuine improvements towards a more sustainable business,” says Mike Potter, Managing Director of DriveElectric. “Energy capture, distribution and charging platforms need to work together to ensure we use the greenest, cheapest electricity and keep our EV use within close reach of Net Zero. We’re delighted to launch our new services at Fully Charged LIVE, an event where you can find businesses that are leading the green revolution.”

EV HUB beta is now available for businesses looking to measure and drive down the environmental impact of fleet and business operations.

DriveElectric is an electric vehicle leasing company that has been helping organizations and individuals to adopt EVs to save money, lower emissions, and transition to low carbon energy since 2008. DriveElectric aims to make the switch to electric cars and vans simple for business fleets.
