One critical question fleets often face when transitioning to electric vehicles is: Will this EV truly meet our operational needs?
OEMs typically estimate electric vehicle range through standardized tests like EPA or WLTP, conducted under controlled conditions without real-world variables such as payloads, elevation changes, or temperature extremes. As a result, fleet operators frequently find these estimates don’t align with actual operational performance.
Revolv partnered with Chargetrip to introduce EV range intelligence, an online tool providing accurate, realistic range insights for class 2b-6 commercial vehicles, which is based on Chargetrip’s algorithms and Revolv’s real world operational insights.
Addressing real-world operational challenges with EV range intelligence
Commercial fleets often encounter challenging scenarios including tight schedules, significant payload variations, and diverse geographic conditions. Revolv’s range intelligence accurately models EV range by factoring in:
- Temperature fluctuations.
- Cargo and payload weight.
- Terrain and elevation variations.
- Operational driving speeds.
Deploying the EV range intelligence
The EV range intelligence tool is publicly accessible through Revolv’s website and integrated into our upfront analysis process. Revolv uses the tool to help its customers validate vehicle suitability, facilitating informed and confident vehicle selection decisions.
