Optimizing EV Fleet Charging with Motorq’s Home Charging Solution

Managing an EV fleet at scale requires more than deploying electric vehicles. It requires charging programs that are fair for drivers, predictable for finance teams, and efficient for fleet operations.

A global clean energy leader faced this challenge as it expanded one of the largest electric vehicle fleets in the United States. With operations spanning the design, manufacturing, installation, and service of wind turbines worldwide, the company needed a reliable way to reimburse drivers for charging company vehicles at home while supporting broader sustainability goals.

The challenge: Turning home charging into a scalable program

Home charging offers clear advantages for EV fleets. It is more convenient for drivers, more affordable than public charging, and better for long-term battery health. Despite these benefits, managing reimbursement at scale proved difficult.

Electricity rates vary by region. Household energy costs differ by driver. Without precise data on when, where, and how vehicles were charged, reimbursement depended on estimates and manual processes that did not scale.

The fleet needed a way to:

  • Reimburse drivers accurately for home charging
  • Encourage charging behaviors that support battery longevity
  • Reduce reliance on costly public charging
  • Track sustainability outcomes tied to charging activity

Without detailed charging visibility, these goals were difficult to achieve.

The solution: Accurate visibility into every charging event

Motorq’s Home Charging Solution gave the fleet detailed insight into EV charging behavior across the organization.

The platform captured each charging event and associated cost data with high resolution, enabling accurate reimbursement down to the cent. Drivers could charge at home with confidence, and fleet teams could manage reimbursements without manual reporting or additional infrastructure.

Motorq also delivered visibility into charging patterns across the fleet. Fleet leaders could see which vehicles relied heavily on public or fast charging, identify charging events outside company state-of-charge guidelines, and promote slower home charging that supports battery health.

In addition, Motorq provided access to sustainability-related metrics such as CO₂ emissions avoided, helping the organization connect EV operations to its broader clean energy mission.

Below is an example of how EV charging data informs driver-level decisions. By comparing cost per mile, charging type, and end-of-charge SOC, fleet teams can quickly identify reliance on fast or public charging, higher-than-average reimbursement costs, and charging behavior outside company guidelines. These insights helped this customer guide charging behavior and scale a consistent home charging program across the fleet.

The impact: Greater control, healthier vehicles, clearer sustainability outcomes

With Motorq’s home charging solution in place, the customer gained operational clarity and consistency across its EV charging program:

  • Improved battery health: Increased home charging supported slower, more battery-friendly charging behavior.
  • Lower and more predictable energy costs: Accurate reimbursement data reduced dependence on public chargers and improved cost oversight.
  • Stronger sustainability reporting: Charging and emissions visibility reinforced the company’s commitment to clean energy across its operations.

Motorq helped the fleet simplify EV charging management while supporting drivers, protecting vehicles, and aligning daily operations with long-term sustainability goals.
