We are happy to share our smart charging expertise! Our EV fleet charging and
 energy management content library contains materials to help you along your
 electrification journey, wherever you may be.

A charge management system (CMS) allows you to charge your electric
 vehicles in the most reliable, easy and affordable way possible.


 With dozens of solutions for charge management on the market today, it can be
 difficult for fleet operators to assess which system is best suited to their
 particular fleet’s needs. Along with vehicles and charging hardware, choosing
 the right CMS is critical to planning, developing and operating an electric
 fleet efficiently and reliably.


 The CMS lies at the heart of the fleet’s charging ecosystem, interfacing
 directly with vehicles, EVSE equipment, electric utility infrastructure and
 behind-the-meter/customer-side electrical equipment. It’s the user interface
 that fleet operators will use daily to monitor charging operations and
 optimize cost to charge while ensuring vehicle readiness. The CMS can
 significantly affect capital investment and operational costs, as well as the
 long-term operational success of the fleet.


 As you seek a CMS provider, evaluating their capabilities and features by a
 defined set of standards to ensure you invest in a system that will meet your
 fleet’s unique needs.

In this guidebook, we'll review 4 featured categories:
<ul>
 <li>Energy Optimization and Cost-Efficiency</li>
 <li>Scalability and Flexibility</li>
 <li>Reliability, Resilience and Security</li>
 <li>Operational Success</li>
</ul>

 Plus 8 Pro Tips throughout the guidebook to aid you in
 understanding how certain items fit into the overall EVSE and electrification
 ecosystem.


 This comprehensive guidebook features key proposal components and sample
 language describing the base requirements of the CMS to consider when writing
 your RFP, RFI or RFQ.

The Technology Power Combo That Enables EV Charging on Difficult Sites

Electric school bus (ESB) fleets require carefully planned and reliable
 charging solutions to ensure smooth, cost-effective operations. As EV charging
 technology continues to evolve, there’s a growing variety of makes, models,
 and types of chargers to choose from. Making the right choice takes a deep
 understanding of ESBs, chargers, electrical infrastructure, fleet operations,
 and much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;


 The Mobility House takes an interoperable, open-standards approach to chargers
 for school bus fleets. This means that we want to support customers in
 choosing the best available charger models for their specific use case,
 without playing favorites. As an industry leader in charge management, we have
 an unparalleled depth of experience and expertise.&nbsp;&nbsp;


 The following guide summarizes how we advise our school bus fleet customers
 to think about charger selection. We’ve broken the considerations into 5
 categories:

<ul>
 <li>Charger speed</li>
 <li>AC vs. DC</li>
 <li>Bus Compatibility</li>
 <li>Charger compatibility</li>
 <li>Physical considerations</li>
 <li>V2G capability.</li>
</ul>

 We have also provided a list of charger models that we currently recommend to
 customers, grouped by power level.&nbsp;

Are you curious about how analytical and modeling tools can transform the
 efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your electrification projects? In this
 presentation (part of our webinar titled,
 <a
 href="https://www.mobilityhouse.com/usa_en/knowledge-center/webinar/realities-of-charging-infrastructure-electric-school-bus-operators-roundtable"
 >Realities in Charging Infrastructure Electric School Bus Operators
 Roundtable</a
 >), Meiye Wang, the Lead Data Analyst at The Mobility House, shares insightful
 details on how we helped the New York City School Bus Umbrella Services
 (NYCSBUS) navigate and optimize their electrification process.


 Faced with the challenge of limited on-site power, NYCSBUS had to determine
 the optimal number of electric vehicle chargers that could be installed
 without surpassing the 80 kW power limit. Meiye explains the process of using
 advanced charge management systems versus traditional methods, ultimately
 revealing a solution that met NYCSBUS's ambitious electrification goals. Watch
 the full video to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge for your next
 electrification project.
