IQ

Smart charging and energy management platform

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.

Control 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.

VEV IQ Capabilities

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

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
  • Reduce cost per mile

Energy becomes a strategic asset — not a constraint.

Visibility

Two ways to use VEV IQ

Whether your electrification journey is underway or still ahead of you, VEV IQ equips you with the tools to plan, operate and grow effectively.

1. Growing your fleet

If you already have an EV fleet but lack visibility, control & performance management, VEV IQ can be deployed independently across your chargers and depots.

  • You keep your existing hardware
  • You gain intelligent control

Key benefits

  • Multi-site visibility
  • Smart charging and automation
  • Peak demand management
  • Depot and network management
  • Consistent reporting

2. Integrated with VEV solution

If you are building new depots or scaling infrastructure, VEV IQ is built into everything we deliver.

  • Full visibility, control and performance management
  • Enterprise grade security and support

It underpins

  • Infrastructure design
  • Grid and microgrid strategy
  • Commissioning and testing
  • Hypercare support
  • Ongoing optimisation

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 you’re ready to get started, simply download VEV-IQ  app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

 

 

Scale

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.

01
Stabalise operations

Deploy VEV IQ across your sites to unify:

  • Mixed charger brands
  • Separate depots
  • Telematics data
  • Disconnected energy systems

Reduce risk immediately.

02
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.

03
Scale with the right foundations

VEV supports you with:

  • Grid upgrades
  • HV/LV design
  • Microgrid strategy
  • Infrastructure delivery
