EV fleets webinar cover
Electric cars are here, but consumers, network operators and fleet managers are still struggling with the charging challenge. In this webinar brought to you by GridBeyond, we look at some of the hurdles and the solutions to ensuring electric fleets are all charged up and ready to go.

Serious question for panelists
We have a very small fleet of EV's. Most sit in the car park of a day whilst we work in the office. Does anyone have a completely off-grid solution to charge directly from solar? I don't want the expense of a battery, or grid connection, just build a carport in the car park, with solar used for the roof
Say, put 7kw solar, direct into a 5kwh off grid single phase charger. Solar averages 4 times (over a year), so potential 28kw (roughly 180 to 200klm range) per day can be put into an EV whilst its sitting on the car park. If no sun, who cares, just plug in the next day. Every kw put into an EV this way reduces the draw from the grid
Ive looked everywhere for a system like this, bit cant find anything
Could we end up with PHEV/Hybrid trucks reducing DC charging demand enroute ?.
