The Challenge

Many depots still charge at fixed times today, even though electricity prices can fluctuate hour by hour. For logistics players like Distrilog, this presents a clear opportunity: reducing energy costs without disrupting daily operations. The challenge is to charge smartly within the available time window, without compromising departure reliability.

The Solution from MEGA Charge®

Smart EMS control: MEGA Charge controls the fast charger based on the next day's electricity prices and aligns the charging plan with vehicle availability.

Ready to depart by morning: The system ensures that each truck receives the necessary energy on time, but automatically shifts charging to the most cost-effective hours within the available charging window.

Full transparency: Through clear dashboards and logs, depot teams gain insight into the charging process, achieved energy targets, and the impact on operational planning.

The Result

Distrilog is testing how smart night charging can reduce operational energy costs without modifying hardware or disrupting existing processes.

The insights from this Proof of Concept form the basis for further fine-tuning and pave the way for larger depots with multiple chargers.
