Visibility | Control | Performance
VEV IQ is our proprietary charger and energy management platform, specifically developed for commercial EV fleets. Ensuring fleet readiness, charger reliability and load control are managed centrally, reducing operational disruption and missed shifts.
Manage your electric fleet at scale
You’ve started electrifying. Now complexity is increasing.
- More depots
- More chargers
- More power demand
- More risk
Without a single intelligent platform, scaling becomes difficult. VEV IQ brings your fleet, chargers and energy systems management into one place.
Deploy VEV IQ on its own, or use it as part of VEV’s fully integrated solution – it works both ways
Achieve full visibility across your operations
As fleets grow, different depots, systems and hardware creates blind spots.
VEV IQ gives you one live view across everything.
- Which vehicles are charging, and which aren’t
- Which chargers are available, in use or faulted
- How much power each site is drawing
- Where peak demand is building
- Which depots are at risk before shift start
No spreadsheets. No separate dashboards. No blind spots.
Take control of charging and power
Visibility alone doesn’t prevent failure. Control does. VEV IQ lets you:
- Prioritise vehicles for next shift
- Automatically schedule charging
- Cap site load within grid limits
- Balance power across chargers
- Shift charging away from peak tariffs
- Boost individual charging
- Manage your charger network remotely
Vehicles are ready when needed. Power stays within limits. Energy cost is controlled.
Manage performance across your fleet
Being ready for business means your fleet must be ready. VEV IQ tracks:
- Charger uptime
- Failed charge sessions
- Vehicle readiness rates
- Energy cost per vehicle
- Site utilisation
- Recurring faults
Take decisions driven by live data. See issues before they become operational problems.
Use VEV IQ to take control
VEV IQ is the control layer that connects vehicles, chargers and energy into one intelligent operating system.
Fleet & Charger Visibility
One live view across every depot, vehicle and charger.
- Vehicle readiness by shift
- Charger availability and faults
- Live site load
- Energy consumption by depot
- Network-wide performance
No spreadsheets. No siloed dashboards.
Charging & Power Control
Automated control that prevents operational failure.
- Vehicle prioritisation
- Smart charge scheduling
- Dynamic load balancing
- Site capacity protection
- Peak tariff avoidance
Vehicles ready. Grid limits respected. Costs controlled.
Energy Optimisation
Cost and carbon managed automatically.
- Charge when energy is cheapest
- Integrate solar and battery storage
- Participate in power markets
- Optimise microgrid strategy

Energy becomes a strategic asset — not a constraint.
Network & Commercial Management
Extend beyond a single depot.
- Shared charging between fleets
- Multi-site control
- User and access management
- Dynamic pricing
- Revenue reporting
Turn infrastructure into controlled, scalable network capacity.

Integrated with your ecosystem
Effective fleet and energy management requires integration across your technology stack from vehicles and telematics to building management and payments. We are built on flexible foundations to enable integration, working closely with over 200 OEMs and platforms to help you better manage your vehicles, infrastructure and power.
Access VEV IQ anywhere
Manage your charging operations anytime, anywhere. Stay in control and keep everything running smoothly from wherever you are – right from your phone. When ready, the app is easily downloaded from your preferred App Store.
Scale your fleet electrification seamlessly across sites
Expand confidently with real-time visibility, standardised operations, and system-level control across all locations.
Moving beyond stage one
Many fleets make strong early progress with electrification.
As operations grow, managing energy and charging across the fleet network becomes increasingly important.
- Vehicle numbers, routes, and charging demand continue to increase
- Grid capacity, charging patterns, and energy costs influence how fleets scale
- Coordinating vehicles, chargers, and energy across depots becomes essential
- Network-wide insights enable smarter charging and energy optimisation
With the right visibility and coordination, fleets can move beyond early-stage limitations and scale their operations efficiently.
Stabilise operations
Deploy VEV IQ across your sites to unify:
- Mixed charger brands
- Separate depots
- Telematics data
- Disconnected energy systems
Reduce risk immediately.
Use real data to plan properly
VEV IQ reveals:
- True peak demand
- Underused chargers
- Infrastructure bottlenecks
- Grid limitations
- Real upgrade timing
Decisions become data-led.
Scale with the right foundations
VEV supports you with:
- Grid upgrades
- HV/LV design
- Microgrid strategy
- Infrastructure delivery
- Ongoing optimisation
Pure SaaS stops at optimisation. We go further.
Manage your charging network, not just your chargers
As electric fleets scale, depots expand into networks – connecting your sites, customers, partners and supplier.
VEV Connect
VEV Connect extends VEV IQ beyond site control into network management.
It enables you to move from depot control to network management:
- Manage user access across sites
- Support shared charging between depots or partners
- Track usage by vehicle, driver or organisation
- Manage commercial models for shared charging
- Centralise network reporting
