Volkswagen Group brand Elli is launching an intelligent solution across Europe for electric vehicle (EV) fleets called Elli Fleet Charging.
This software allows companies in multiple European countries, including Germany, Italy, Spain, and Austria, to efficiently manage and cost-optimise their EV fleet charging.
Elli says this is an integral step towards streamlining electric fleet management, addressing the growing EV adoption in company fleets.
Elli CEO Giovanni Palazzo says the software ensures a seamless transition towards electric mobility.
“The transition to electric mobility is changing the way companies organise their mobility. Electric fleet management differs from classic fleet management because company car drivers aren’t just charging on the road.
“Companies need a solution that has an integrated multi-national billing system that covers all types of charging cases, from the public fast charging station to the private home charger with a MID energy meter. Elli offers turnkey software and hardware solutions that completely cover this use case,” he says.
After a market introduction phase lasting several months, over 650 German companies and fleet managers are already successfully using the product.
The number of electric vehicles in European fleets is steadily increasing, with one out of seven company fleet cars fully or partially electric.
With this new software, the fleet is managed efficiently and cost-effectively, reducing the administrative workload for both employer and employee.
The Fleet Management Console empowers complete cost transparency and visibility around the clock.
From April next year, the program will also provide at work charging with planning, installation, and maintenance options for standard and fast-charging stations on company sites.
“As one of the largest mobility service providers in Europe, Elli ensures a seamless charging experience with the goal of decarbonising society for generations to come. Our vision is to become one of the leading international charging and energy providers,” Palazzo says.
