Webfleet, owned by tyre manufacturer Bridgestone, has launched EV Charger Monitoring, enabling fleet managers to monitor electric vehicles and private charging stations through a single platform, regardless of charger brand.
The new solution integrates charger data directly into the Webfleet fleet management platform and supports monitoring across multiple locations. Fleet managers can access real-time updates on charger availability, occupancy, charging speed, and vehicle-to-charger location.
Taco Olthoff, Director EV Programme at Bridgestone Mobility Solutions, said: “One of the most important things for managers operating EVs is to make sure they can keep running their business reliably. EV Charger Monitoring supports this. A fleet manager gets an overview in Webfleet of all charging stations at various locations, regardless of the supplier.”
The platform includes a dashboard displaying energy costs, consumption, usage trends, and average charging time. The system works with any charger brand that follows open charging protocols (OCPP and OCPI) and requires no additional hardware.
Daniel Lopes, Deputy Area Manager at Protectas in Switzerland, which has implemented the solution for their 16 electric vehicles, stated: “Webfleet EV Charger Monitoring has simplified our EV fleet management by streamlining the oversight of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, making sure our fleet is charged and ready to run.”
The solution is part of Webfleet’s EV Services Platform, which integrates mobility and energy solutions for fleet electrification. The system can send notifications about charging issues that might affect fleet operations and provides data to help optimise charging strategies.
